It’s designed for board games, card games, and other activities where you need a fair way to determine turn order.</p> <p>Key features:</p> <ul> <li>Face detection using the device’s built-in camera</li> <li>Random selection from scanned players</li> <li>Reroll capability for multiple rounds</li> <li>Swipe-to-delete for managing the player pool</li> </ul> <p>The selection can be triggered by laying your phone flat on a table or tapping the Roll button. The app displays a brief animation before showing the selected player.</p> <p>For detailed usage instructions, see the <a href="/apps/photo-start">Photo Start User Guide</a>.</p>
