1. [R19] 5/5 · US Life is easy: With team shake! We use this program at least three times a week, and it works exceptionally well. Matches teams/players comparatively close. Just rate each player from weakest to strongest, select the number of players and shake. Been very helpful for about 2 years now!
2. [R20] 5/5 · US Love it!: I teach K-12 PE and love how I can have all the kids in one app and quickly divide teams - have boys and girls and different skill levels evenly distributed- save a ton of time!
3. [R23] 5/5 · US Highly recommended: I teach an adult ESL class, in which the students are at drastically different levels. This app makes it so easy for me to arrange them in either homogenous or heterogeneous groups, depending on the activity. I can leave the iPad opened, so they can easily find their group or partner, allowing me to facilitate those who have already begun. Worth every penny!
4. [R34] 5/5 · US Best group generator out there: The ability to randomly create groups, but with ability levels, is just what every teacher needs. Thank you for this app.
5. [R13] 5/5 · US Teaching with team shake: As a teacher, I integrate group work constantly so Team Shake is an incredible way for me to create random teams on a daily basis.
6. [R18] 5/5 · US Very Useful!: The program is quick to use and has an attractive output. Students volunteer to be the one to shake the hat. It is easy to toggle between the choice of number of groups as opposed to the number in each group and easy to temporarily omit absent students. A teacher can also use the program to determine the order of oral presentations by setting the number of groups to be one. Moreove
7. [R37] 4/5 · US GREAT timesaver: I use this app in the college class I teach and I love it for many reasons: it saves prep and class time, my students never argue about teams, students meet others in class, and I can group people according to ability so that my groups are well balanced. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because it could be a bit more user friendly. It took me a while of exploring to figure out
8. [R40] 5/5 · US Works great in class: My kids love that I shake my phone and make groups. No o e complains since it was completely random and they know I didn't manipulate the groups.
9. [R8] 5/5 · US Amazing app: I needed an app to sort 24 different singers who all sing a different harmony voice part into 6 random quartets. I emailed support and got a response back within 24 hours. They even included a special video telling me exactly what to do. Opposing Teams was the answer. Amazing app and fantastic support
10. [R21] 5/5 · US Excellent: Great app! You can even import a csv list so you don’t have to type in every name to the app.
11. [R28] 5/5 · US Great App for the Classroom!!!: This app has so many useful features! I love how you can set it to avoid putting 2 particular students on the same team. This app makes it much easier and fun to choose teams!
12. [R54] 5/5 · US Awesome app: Use it every day in my pe classes it eliminates all arguing and this app has great support. Reported a bug and it was fixed a week later.
13. [R94] 5/5 · US Team Shake Was Great & Now It Is Even Greater & Greater Again!: This app is perfect for my use of selecting random team players in our weekly golf outings where we have from 20 to 30 players each week. What great service since the developer listened to my suggestions and made this app even better by allowing certain players to be on the same team and allowing the smaller teams be first and by allo
14. [R99] 5/5 · US Team Shake: This app is the best on the market for random team selection. The support staff is very responsive to reviewing and implementing improved changes. I am absolutely happy with this app.
15. [R16] 1/5 · US Useless: I have used this app in the classroom for 5 years. I recently needed to change my classes but it gives me a warning and I can’t get past it to add a class. I went ahead and upgraded to the paid version but it still doesn’t work.
16. [R17] 5/5 · US Doesn’t work: I have had this app for a while and gets worse by the moment. I have tried to contact the developer and no word on why I cannot save my class rosters. When it worked it was awesome. But since then is has been bogus.
17. [R69] 2/5 · US Won't save: Since iOS update the app won't let me save ANYTHING!!! Very frustrating when you have 14 classes you would like to use it with.
18. [R75] 1/5 · US Disappointed: I was super excited for this app...but it only worked once and didn't save my set of names :(
19. [R2] 2/5 · US Won’t Shake: I’m not sure if it’s my iPhone or it’s operating system, but on occasion, the shake feature won’t work. I have to restart my phone to get it working again. This is frustrating because I group my PE classes at the beginning of each class and wind up having to wait until my phone is ready to begin the lesson. Also, I can’t disable the shake function (to just using the touch screen ic
20. [R14] 5/5 · US Love the new update...: Thanks for updating! This is the greatest app ever, however with the new update it crashes if I try to select an individual student. Please fix
21. [R47] 1/5 · US Not working: Entered 4 entire classes before realizing there was no way to initiate "shake" to make groups
22. [R1] 2/5 · US Needs continued improvement: This app is the tip of the iceberg of what could be done for team making and randomizing. I’d love to see a lock feature to keep teams in place, it’s impossible to stay still as a teacher that uses this. I’d appreciate a feature allowing certain players to always be with specific others. I’d appreciate other strength and weakness features to be added as well. For a pai
23. [R15] 5/5 · US Not like the preview: This app has been hard to figure out and doesn’t show me the same features that I see in the preview. That being said, it is still useful but minimally so.
24. [R26] 3/5 · US Not user friendly: Seems simple but it's not. Import list, press shake. No. that didn't work. Wish I knew what i was doing wrong.
25. [R29] 1/5 · US Not user friendly: The interface is difficult to work with, and should be more straight forward. It's challenging to import class lists and has confusing wording for the different options. Seems like it should not be this difficult. Waste of $.99...unless they can improve the navigation in adding classes/students.
26. [R3] 4/5 · US Wish…: I wish this app would sync among devices. We use this for school every day. LOVE IT!!! Now our iPad is in the shop but unable to transfer the info easily to new device.
27. [R27] 5/5 · US A favorite PE app but could use some tweaking: I think this app is great for all the different options for creating teams. I use it almost daily. Printing out permanent teams for a team unit is helpful for the kids and is a time saver for me. It does take a little getting use to the user interface but once you have played around enough it's pretty easy. The one complaint I have is that my lists ar
28. [R6] 4/5 · US great but: Needs to be updated, please
29. [R9] 3/5 · US Team shake: Need a delete for deleting an entire list from previous semesters. More on main screen or editing .
30. [R31] 4/5 · US Very helpful: The ability to create groups is awesome. I wish I could save the groups and I wish the groups would reorder the kids instead of following the list and dividing them. The students listed first are always first and the students last in the full list are last in the list.
31. [R22] 5/5 · US worth a slight learning curve: I am a middle and high school teacher. We often divide our classes into teams for sports, small group discussions, etc. and I find this app invaluable for that purpose. It takes a little while to get fully comfy with all of the features, but it's worth it as all of the functions are very useful. Highly recommended.
32. [R4] 4/5 · US I enjoy using this app: It has been a great tool as a high school teacher to assign my students into teams. I wonder if you can make it a bit less bright, some students had hard time to recognize their names.
33. [R7] 5/5 · US Efficient: This app works great.You make groups and you can save the groups and you can randomly then break them up into different groups time after time. Use-friendly, fast, an easy peasy. I am in lovr wotj this app.
34. [R55] 5/5 · US Great App for PE classes: This is a great app that saves time and minimizes arguments in my classroom. No more arguing what team you are on it is right there on the screen. I use this app to quickly divide my class of 50-60 students into groups or teams. The initial setup is quick and easy using the import feature. I highly recommend this app for all PE teachers, coaches, counsellors, or anyone
35. [R36] 5/5 · US Stress free groups for teaching: I love that you can give them strengths and weaknesses. This helps create balance groups very easily. I also use the random name picking.
