## Description

To answer the popular question, &quot;who goes first?&quot;, with an answer that is fair and non-biased, use Pick First Player to let the app choose the start player for a game. Avoid problems and disputes by letting a computer make the decision.<br><br>While around a table or in a closed shape, choose the number of players in the game, then see which player goes first relative to the person holding the phone or tablet. Pick First Player uses a random number chooser to determine who is the start player.<br><br>Pick First Player is Covid-19-friendly since only one person needs to touch the device to choose first player. Tap the result button to refresh the selection in case you&#39;d rather someone else go first. The result is random, so the same player might be chosen multiple times in succession.<br><br>Key Features<br>- Requires only one person to touch the device<br>- Choose from up to seven players<br>- Works in portrait and landscape orientations<br>- Random chooser system<br>- Ability to refresh the chosen first player<br>- Quick and easy to use<br>- Silent<br>- Ad-free<br>- Requires no permissions<br><br>Besides choosing the first player, people can use this to decide where to eat, determine which game to play, choose what to order, or make many other decisions with a slight adjustment to thinking about the number of places around the table.<br><br>This is based on the &quot;Who Goes First&quot; app by Daniel Lew.<br><br>Thanks to Nikita Gohel and Kristy Rodarte for design and testing.
