  1. [R8] Team Shake 5/5 · US Yes!!!!: Amazing app. Everything I need and more. 👍
  2. [R34] Team Shake 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!
  3. [R60] Team Shake 5/5 · US Life saver: Spent about 10 minutes today importing my classes and a bit more time looking at strengths/ gender/ pairings to avoid and voila - all set to go! Great app for PE teachers or anyone else looking to do easy groupings. Love the random call out feature too where you can randomly select any student. Fab - best $.99 you’ll spend
  4. [R67] Raffle Name 1/5 · US Are you kidding me?: Downloaded app today because of positive reviews. Started my first raffle wheel and was only permitted to add three names before prompted to do free 3-day trial, then yearly subscription. I wanted to be positive about the app because it was easy to create the wheel but was hoping it would have a free version.
  5. [R29] Team Shake 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.
  6. [R52] Team Shake 4/5 · US Used almost daily: This app allows me to weigh, group, make teams, and has tons of flexibility. The reason it didn't get a five star rating is because the interface is somewhat clunky and adding a class has a steep learning curve. However, once you figure it out, it works extremely well and is a great tool for a differentiated classroo
  7. [R57] Team Shake 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.
  8. [R84] Raffle Name 3/5 · US Buggy: Kinda buggy and difficult to use. Was not a big fan of all the adds as it caused issues and you had to download another app to even do the actual raffle drawing which was really annoying!
  9. [R14] Team Shake 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. [R58] Team Shake 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
  11. [R75] Raffle Name 3/5 · US Doesn’t open: Used to use this app a lot, now it just crashes when I try to open it. It was decent when it worked.
  12. [R61] Raffle Name 1/5 · US Not free: Can’t add more then 3 ppl without a monthly subscription 19.99
  13. [R70] Raffle Name 1/5 · US Subscription based to use anything: Terrible
  14. [R94] Raffle Name 1/5 · US Was Free, Boo on them: Was free and relatively easy. It should not cost $20 for this. Will not buy or use.
  15. [R88] Raffle Name 1/5 · US Horrible: You’re only allowed 4 names without getting the subscription. I only needed this app one time so I did the 3 day trial that they offer. There is no where in the app that will help you cancel the subscription before the 3 days is up. I emailed them a day before the last day of my trial for them to cancel it, but I never heard back and I was charged for a subscription I never wanted. Do no
  16. [R96] Raffle Name 1/5 · US Poor: You have to either accept the 3 free day trial to enter in more than 3 names or subscribe. I selected the 3 day and tried to cancel my subscription but it has been extremely difficult to find where I can cancel. I have emailed twice still with no response and now I have been charged $21.46.
  17. [R1] Team Shake 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
