This app is perfect for selecting names at random. It's easy to make a list, skip names if needed and keep track of it all. I like that it can announce names out loud for everyone to hear. It really simplifies random drawings, picking teams, assigning tasks, etc.

Exactly what I was looking for! I made lists of my hobbies to randomly pick when I'm bored and can't decide what to do -- the only thing that could make it better would be a widget, so I could have a shortcut to just tap a list and have it randomly select a value without having to go through the app, I would definitely buy it for that feature! 😁
