Excellent app! It's so useful, and the only one that lets you add pictures, which is really nice! I mainly use it to pick characters to practice drawing, so it's nice to have a picture accompaning it. One thing I would add would be to mabe pick off a few lists at once? Say I had seperate lists for "characters" "mood" and "action". If I could pick one off of all three at once, that would be cool. Oh, also having the set picture transfer when merging/importing one list into another.

Good for choosing items / names at random. As far as I can tell the amount of entries is unlimited. For the additional 99 cents you get the presentation mode among other features. You can add images to each entry, however they appear very small, and the overall presentation is a little boring. But it works nonetheless and I enjoy it more than spinner apps.

Does exactly what it says it does without any nonsense. I fed it a list with 150+ options and it didn't give me any trouble. Easy to find accidental duplicates on the list and fix them, or use duplicates to control probability. I'm using this to generate random options for TTRPGs, and it's perfectly suited for it. Only thing that would make it better is being able to choose from multiple lists at a time. Premium was reasonably priced and worth it, but the app is highly functional without it.
