NameSelector allows you to enter the names of your learners at the beginning of a session and save them. Then, you can select the system you would like to use to select learners. Selection can be made using either of these options: randomly, randomly without repeating learners, or in sequence (i.e., a-z, z-a, etc.). You can save up to eight groups. The app selects learners one after the other until the entire class has had an opportunity to participate. Click ‘Next’ to choose another learner; the app notifies you when you have selected the whole class.

What Users Love About the App

“Works fine for me. Works as advertised. I’m curious to see what updates are offered.”

“Love being able to randomly select my students. I think this app is off to a great start.”

“Great app, saves me from having to use Popsicle sticks!”

“Good app. I really like this app. It’s fairly easy to add classes took 2 minutes or so to add each class.”

“This app was great in the beginning and my students love when I put it under the document camera & project it so they can see their names.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“It has been crashing and closing every time I use it, not just to select students but when I try to edit or create new lists. Incredibly frustrating that I can’t take out names of students who move or add names of new students I get.”

“With the new update, it now doesn’t generate new students when you select next. It keeps the same name. I’ve deleted the app and tried installing again but it doesn’t work. Until this bug is fixed, this app isn’t going to be helpful.”

“This app needs app switching capabilities so badly. I’ve used it for over a year and it ticks me off every time.”

“Crashing. I’ve used this app for years and now that I have a different phone, it crashes! It won’t let me add a class”

“Update does not work. I lost all of my names and it won’t let me save a new list.”
