Pros and cons of Names in a Hat app for iPhone and iPad
Names in a Hat app good for
I have a summer job as a camp counsellor and this is EXACTLY the sort of app I needed. Great for teachers, coaches, or anyone who has to manage groups of people. You can divide people into any number of teams, randomly order a list of people, or simply pick a name from a hat without having to go through the trouble of making several slips of paper and finding a hat.
Its easy to customize, easy to organize, and all around easy to use. Im really glad I found it.
This app does it all!!! (especially if youre looking to draw names out of a hat). Hopefully the next update comes with fedoras or pin wheel hats
Because I dont see a hat anywhere. 5 stars though because it does exactly what I needed it to do.
works very well only suggestion would be if you could save a list
As a teacher this app is a must have. It helps group my students and the history lets me go back to those groups easily. I cant wait to use this when Secret Santa comes along. Really there are so many uses!
I recommend this app to anyone that wants to randomly draw names. I personally use it to assign teams for darts through assigning teams within a tournament.
Since the update, the app has improved its usefulness 10 fold. Being able to save names & team names was the original apps downfall. The history also gets saved so you can refer back to it at any time. If you need a quick and easy way to randomly draw names its worth the 99 cents! If you already have it make sure you update!!
Some bad moments
Spending money on an app that doesnt work? Please learn from my mistake.
Worked just fine the first time I used it, now crashes every time I try to draw names again. Hasnt worked since the very first time. This is a SUPER simple app that youre charging money for. Fix the bloody thing.
Should have the ability to accept the name... I was trying to choose names for secret Santa and people kept getting their own names, then we had to restart... If you could accept or decline the name it would be a lot more beneficial
A complete waste of $0.99. The interface reminds me of iOS 4. No joke. But whats worse is that when Im tutoring a group of kids & I want to shuffle their names in random order (so each can take a question), it works fine... despite all the tapping I have to do to get there). But when I want to do a second round, I have to tap a total of six times just to shuffle their names again. Might I add that theres a plethora of unnecessary taps & that the options (animations) are relatively slow.
A complete waste of money & time!
How hard would it be to make an app that actually shuffles Names in a Hat if thats what youre looking for this app does not do that it is a POS and a complete waste of $.99! I want my GD money back!
I downloaded this before I updated to OS4 and it worked great. Since I have updated it crashes every time I try to run the actual randomizer. I was gonna use this for my fantasy football draft order. Looks like I wasted $1.
