I liked it but it was very loud. Will not recommend to people with needs to be quiet, such as sleeping kids and so on.

This helps a lot with writing but I would add two things to an update. 1. A third dice, add another dice to represent a middle name but also make this optional just in case they don’t want a middle name. 2. Gender preference, allow us to choose what gender the names generated should be. That’s really it add these 2 things and this would be an even better app.
