App: Random Numbers Generator Premium v4.2.0
Developer: Skytrait (Gabe Brandao)
Category: Tools
Price: N/A
IAP: $0.99

Random Numbers Generator Premium is a relatively simple application with a primary function to roll randomized numbers between a set minimum and maximum amount. There are occasions when you need a true random number generator (RNG) to deliver shuffled integers without human intervention for gaming, lotteries, contests and studies of probability. Random Numbers Generator Premium brings this ability with some interesting and convenient features to the table that surpass the functionality of other generators on the market. Unlike standard dice rolling apps that normally feature the typical RPG sets, they are limited to the maximum number of a twenty sided die and would require rolling several times to obtain higher values. This is hardly ideal when attempting to generate numbers of one-hundred or greater; enter Random Numbers Generator Premium. This possible numbers offered in this app range from -1073741823 to 1073741823 for a scope of 2147483646 unique numbers; the absolute maximum value for a 32-bit integer minus one. Any values over this limit would result in the number being inverted from positive to negative and vice versa, which would be an obvious undesirable effect. This possible massive range of numbers should suffice for nearly any need you might have to generate remarkably large numbers on the fly without any hassle.

Looking at the convenient features that set this app apart from the rest, you may toggle the Repeat option that will allow numbers to be repeatably generated or not. When this option is turned off, the numbers that are generated will not come up again from the pool of possible integers of your set parameters. This is very handy for allowing assigned numbers that should only be used one time to eventually exhaust the available number pool. When all unique numbers have been generated, a message will show telling you that you have run out of numbers to generate from your preset margin. Another interesting option is that you may manually select specific numbers to ignore from being generated out of your number pool. This allows you to completely customize the spread of numbers that can actually come up, allowing you a good deal of control for specific uses. You may clear all generated and ignored numbers with the quick tap of the delete button, or swipe off selected numbers as you see fit for yet more control in certain circumstances. There is also a handy sharing option that will copy and send your generated numbers to the clipboard, SMS, email, Twitter, Facebook or other local and social networking targets for your convenience. Whatever your specific need to generate random numbers could be, and to quickly get them to your desired media target, this app will certainly accommodate with its functionality.

As with every app I have had an opportunity to aptly test, there are some minor caveats to point out that will either be included as features or possibly updated in the future. The first glaring omission I noticed, and one that is sorely missed in so many other apps, is the lack of a night mode with a dark interface. This isn't terribly difficult to implement and I wish more developers would be more flexible in this regard. Another feature that is apparently in the works, but makes an appearance within the app anyway, is decimal support to generate floating point random numbers. It would appear that this will be fully implemented at a later date, but currently displays a toggle in the options and a period on the number pad when you select your array of numbers that does nothing. The size of the generated numbers on the main screen is quite small, but probably due to the fact that ten digit numbers can take up a lot of space. Scaling the numbers might be a workaround, but this is a minor issue. Color coding of repeated generated numbers would be a nice touch as color hasn't been implemented whatsoever, which could lend to quicker recognition of certain aspects and to signify different types of numbers of user defined parameters. All in all, Random Numbers Generator Premium is a very stable and reliable solution to deliver a fair and flexible way of producing a wide array of shuffled integers at your disposal. I highly recommend the app for anyone who has a need in their endeavors for such an application as it offers more of what other products seem to be missing.

As a prime example and fine creative demonstration of Random Numbers Generator Premium in action, I invite you to check out and participate in the new daily Guess the Theme contest! This application is exclusively used to generate a random number between one and one-hundred to pick a particular graphic that will be used for that day's Rush Hour banner graphic. Each user chooses a preferred and reserve number that offers a reward of 100 WRZ$ and 50 WRZ$ respectively, which is Mobilism's designated currency that everyone so desires. Please check out both contests to start earning here on Mobilism to be able to spend it, save up or just have fun playing in the contest section. You may also click on the graphic below to see how Random Numbers Generator Premium is used here daily to great effect.
