I hate making decisions- I can usually get it down to two or three options, but picking between them always feels impossible. Well, now, I can just use Select Who- an app that highlights one of the fingers placed on the screen to make decision making even easier! I know how we’re picking who gets to decide which movie we watch next time movie night comes around!
Developer’s Description:
Select Who? is an alternative to who draws the shortest straw, coin toss, rolling the dice and spin the bottle. Everybody puts their finger on the screen and the app will then select one of these at random.
| Category | Score | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Does it Fulfill its Purpose? | 15 | Select Who is an app that picks one of the touches on the screen as “it”. It does its job pretty well, though a few more options and features would be nice- such as a few options to make it clearer which fingers are detected (as some devices can only detect 2 or 3 fingers) or more functions in the app itself. |
| Does it Look Good? | 13 | The graphics never get in the way of performance, but they aren’t particularly polished, either. |
| Does it Run Well? | 19 | When it’s installed to SD, Select Who runs at around 150KB. The only permissions Select Who needs are the usual ad permissions (internet, phone state and identity) and the ability to keep the phone awake. I did experience slow framerates when fingers moved while the app was counting down, but it didn’t really effect the performance of the app. |
| Is it Easy to Use? | 19 | Select Who is easy to use- simply have multiple people touch the screen and when the countdown is finished, the place where one finger was will be a different color. In case there is any confusion, a simple tutorial explains it all. |
| Is This App Useful to Everybody? | 14 | Okay, so it’s not really that useful of an app- especially for people with smartphones rather than tablets, as having a group stand around touching a smartphone isn’t ideal, but it is a fun and original idea. |
| Overall Score | 80 | Select Who is a fun and simple way to make a random decision between a few people. If you have a hard time deciding who gets to choose among your group of friends, this app is for you! |
