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."

Worked fine at first

Worked great when I first downloaded it. But a minute later it kept crashing. Not happy since I bought it for 99 cents. :(
Not very intuitive
no need for a nick
... 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), it's 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.
Hello

It's 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 "here's 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.
Nice App

It does exactly what I need it to do, which take in a bunch data and randomly select names. Easy and straightforward.
Easier to do with real pen & paper

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. It's a fun idea, but I'm wishing I'd skipped this purchase.
Did what I needed

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

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 don't have to worry about storage, etc.
