Out of the Hat App Reviews

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.

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!

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

Gets the job done as far as pulling names out of a hat, but the app gives you hints EVERY time you do something! And making groups have a weird layout, but overall pretty good!

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.

Hard to use, way more complicated than it should be.

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.

Seems like this should be pretty straightforward. Not so much.

Would like it if the results from each group are saved. Tip: if you get the app, disable hints once you figure it out.

I use this app in my classroom whenever I need to randomly draw student names for something. It works perfectly every time. Much more fun than pulling clothes pins or popsicle sticks with names on them, plus I dont have to worry about storage, etc.

Simple solution to a handful of problems.

It worked fine with my first group. After I added more, the names to be selected began crossing into other groups. It will not allow adjustments of one group without changing the others. So, the app has become useless, if more than one group is needed.

This app is HORRIBLE!!! It crashes whenever I try to edit an entry. Waste of $1...save your money and just draw names out of a real hat!!! :(

Love this app! I have used the strategy of pulling names out of the hat for years and years. No more little pieces of paper!! Love it! Thank you!

Great! Does exactly what you want it to do. Although, I dont know how to delete old hat categories.

Itd be great if it actually worked and didnt crash every 2 seconds .. It makes it impossible to use and a waste

This app doesnt work at all. The hints are annoying and not helpful. Follow the directions and no results. Hate that I paid for this app. Total waste....
