Cant decide who the starting player is? When being first player could make a difference, dont let "the oldest one" take that advantage from you! Get out your phone and let the app decide. Totally random and fast!

Pros and cons of First Player app for iPhone and iPad

First Player app good for

Stopped working for a bit after iOS 9 was released -- I reported it and was updated very soon after.
This app works very well for choosing the First Player for board games or anything else. It is simple to use and understand. I have tried other apps and while they include a couple more options for First Player selection they are much more complex and confusing, especially for those who are using the app for the first time.
Does what it should and does it well, although I do get jealous of the colorful apps that do the same. Really recommended!
...but it could look so much prettier with customizable color.

Some bad moments

Handles only up to 5 players in free version. So I tried to upgrade for $0.99, 3 times, and eventually got an error. Wonder if Ive been charged 3 times for something I dont have.
Pretty simple and interesting way of displaying which player goes first.
Tried using press n hold option in free mode, does not work at all. Only recognizes one finger. States that the free mode should be for 2-5 people
What a great app. Does exactly what its intended to do and it looks very clean. I had to write a review for it.
This app helps to determine the First Player with no bias. Love that everyone gets an equal chance to be FIRST! Love it.
Does what it says, in a fun way. Theres really no need for the paid version, but Im happy to send a bit of money when somebody makes something so useful. Great little app. BTW, on the iPad the touch & hold method works with a lot more than 5 players! ;-)
