In some discussion on another thread, it was discussed how to get ONE RANDOM image (or text) to display in your app.

Possible workaround:  
[https://vt4rt.glideapp.io](https://vt4rt.glideapp.io)

Front page: Just grabbing a random cell from the “Lists” tab in the A Column.  
=index(Lists!A2:A,randbetween(1,counta(Lists!A2:A)))

So only ONE of a list is picked randomly.

**In my app, this image/text is only changed when the Spreadsheet is changed. So I have a form that only submits the current day and time (thus changing the random image)**

I also use it here to pick random Bible Verses (images):

[https://cqacq.glideapp.io](https://cqacq.glideapp.io)

You could also possibly configure this even more with a **signed in user.** The Welcome text could say something like: **Hey Kevin, you are a winner!**

Discussed here:

> Has anyone done custom greetings on the home screen and if yes could you please point me towards some examples or resources? I want a simple greeting like this: Good morning/afternoon/evening, Doomba! Your stats: Stat 1: 20 Stat 2: 30 Target: 100 Is it as simple as creating a home page with a list of user names and emails, enabling filter by signed in user for that page only (all records in other pages must be visible to all), and displaying a templated message?
