Introduction
Have you ever needed to pick random names out of a hat? Pick your random numbers for the lottery? Out of the Hat is designed to do just that.
Groups
Create groups of names, numbers or any other collections. You can create as many different groups as you like.
Items
For each group you can create items, names or numbers.
Hat
Choose a group to be entered into the hat. In order to pick an item either shake your iOS device or tap once on the screen. Your unique name or number will be pulled from the hat. Each time you pick a new item will be picked from the group until all items have been picked.
The hat can be reset by selecting the same group again or selecting another group.
"Teachers are finding Out of the Hat useful for fairly selecting students to answer questions."
Pros and cons of Out of the Hat app for iPhone and iPad
Out of the Hat app good for
I use this app to decide which of my 200+ books I should read next. I have had no problems with having too many options in the hat. My only complaint is that I wish the character limit was larger for the individual selections. Some book titles are longer than I have space for.
I needed an app to do draws for our social committee this app works great to do just that. The only downfall is that I had to input 680 numbers manually. I was wishing there was a way to cut and paste or import names or numbers.
4 of 5 stars
Some bad moments
This App is worthless. It allows me to create a group name and that is it. Doesnt allow me to add a group into a hat? What next?? Nothing! Waist of money!
Worked great when I first downloaded it. But a minute later it kept crashing. Not happy since I bought it for 99 cents. :(
... But it works fine. Once you figure out how to use it (no help from the annoying tutorials that pop up every time you click), its the simple app that I thought it would be. Add a bunch of options, click over to a different screen, shake, and it randomly spits out one of your options. Violà.
Its a great app but the only thing is when you are in the middle of putting names in or something a thing pops up saying "heres a tip" and it tells u how to do it but when you already know how. So you have to stop what you are doing to exit it out.
It does exactly what I need it to do, which take in a bunch data and randomly select names. Easy and straightforward.
I was hoping to use this app as a fun way to draw names for Christmas but had repeated crashes when trying to update names. After many attempts to get it to work, I ended up doing it the good ol fashioned way on real paper. Its a fun idea, but Im wishing Id skipped this purchase.
Usually Out of the Hat iOS app used & searched for

random name selector,
and other. So, download free Out of the Hat .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
