It’s rated 4+ and currently has 13+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Fast First Stand Out
Less time spinning, more time playing. Fast First is the quickest way to select the first player for your table top game. Start the app and you have first player chosen for 2 – 9 players (depending on device), with as many as 24 only two taps away. If you need complete player order, or random team assignments, that's also available.
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Our go to app for selecting start player. Does what it is meant to do quickly, which is what we want. We mean, its right there in the name.
This app is very good at one thing – choosing a starting player order quickly. It will not help you win the game, nor cook you a delicious dinner. But if you want an lean app that can choose the starting player without the need to divulge your age, number of countries you've visited, or any other personal secrets to be ruthlessly compared against your fellow gamers, look no further.
This app is the best. It is the quickest no spinning things no making everyone touch the screen before choosing. Just open it, and you already know who goes first. We recommend this app to all our board game friends. Thanks.
This is a quick, no-fuss app that does exactly what its meant to. The screen is clean and easy to read.
We really like this app. We use it every time we game. It's much easier to see than the usual spinner-style first player apps, the speed to get our first player is next to nothing and the symbology is very clear. Great addition to any table top gamer's bag.
Couldn't be simpler to use. So much easier to determine the start player versus the traditional spinner app. No brainer purchase if you are an active gamer.
This is the best start player app we've used by far. Everything on one screen; no need to select the number of players; provides both start player and player order if needed. Super easy to use and we love having everything on one page.
