Authentic spin noises, Add your choices to the custom wheel, Choose the winning odd's/ outcome's, With fully custom win or lose noise's- Take your pic! ### 4/5 — Very good spinner, would have given 5 stars but...... *2022-01-15, version 2.0* Almost perfect. Only Flaw is not allowing users to add in their own sounds for win, or lose. ### 4/5 — Nearly perfect *2019-06-06, version 2.0* I use this when teaching music lessons to add an element of fun to repetitive practice tasks. Students loooove spinning the wheel to see which song or technique we'll work on next, and each student can have their own customized wheel. I have wheels for repertoire, for randomly choosing how many times to repeat a practice task, for rewards upon completion of a practice goal, etc. The feature for how many ''lives" a choice has is extremely useful in this setting, and the ability to choose colors or themes to personalize wheels makes it visually appealing to kids. I recommend this app to almost every other music teacher I meet who works with children. I use this as a replacement spinner for the book "Spintastik for the Family" (a spinning for chores & rewards system that I adapt to include practice tasks among the “chores”), and I recommend it to almost every parent in this capacity. Four stars instead of five because I haven’t yet seen a way to share a wheel I’ve already created with another user. This would save a lot of time when recommending the app to other teachers and to parents, and get them into using the app right away instead of spending time customizing it. The other feature I’d like to see is synchronizing my custom wheels between my devices (phone/tablet), and allowing another user to synchronize one or more wheels with mine. ### 4/5 — Fixed *2019-04-02, version 2.0* It used to crash a lot, but now it is fixed. Now I find it useful for making decisions.😺😀 ### 4/5 — Amazing... pretty much *2018-07-09, version 1.03* THIS APP IS AMAZING! You can use it for so many things! I also enjoy that you can customize your wheels to your liking! The only problem is... it glitches. A lot. When I first got the app a couple years ago, it worked fabulously! Now, every time I try to add more than two options, it crashes! :( If this little thing was fixed, SpinnyWheel would go back to the great and fun app it was before! :) ### 4/5 — Wish it didn’t crash so much *2018-05-02, version 1.03* After looking at over 2 dozen spinner apps, I finally decided to purchase this one. I like that you can adjust how often a prize can be won, and the lifetime wins as well. I’ve opened the app 5 times in the last 10 minutes, and 4 times it has abruptly closed, not saving any of my work. I wanted to use this to replace a real spinner wheel at my business, as a fun incentive for my customers. But having an unreliable app that crashes often is not cool. Please fix!! ### 5/5 — Genius! *2017-03-01, version 1.03* Whoever created this spinner was a genius! Easy to create a customized spinner. I love that I can set how many lives I want a spot to have. Very useful in a classroom. Love it! ### 5/5 — Never decide again! *2017-02-25, version 1.03* I love this app. I've made wheels for everything. Where to go for team lunch, how to punish my kids, what martini to make, and we even made one to see who picks up the bar tab when we go out! ### 4/5 — Great! *2017-01-29, version 1.03* I love this so far!!!!! Would love to be able to put my finger down and stop it randomly in mid spin. I don't know if it's completely random, the same selections seem to keep coming up a lot. This is great for games! ### 5/5 — Works well *2016-12-22, version 1.03* The app works well. It is easy to use and has the right functionality form setting up various kinds of spinner games. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BEWARE *2019-10-07, version 2.0* DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!! About 2 weeks after getting this app my email suddenly got bombarded with subscription emails. HUNDREDS of them and I can’t make them stop but even worse my bank account was hacked yesterday and someone tried a $434 charge on my card that was used for the purchase of this app. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work even once *2019-01-19, version 1.03* Got this las night just to have some fun with a silly decision. Didn’t work even once. Every time I put in the options for the wheel it kicked me off. Sometimes after one entry, sometimes after I had put in several. Rarely do I pay for an app so it really makes me mad that I actually did and couldn’t even use it. ### 1/5 — Want my 99 cents back *2018-09-26, version 1.03* This seemed like it would do everything I wanted it to and even more, so I went ahead and paid for the app. It crashed six times before I could get my wheel made. The first time I lost all my work and had to start from scratch. I kept going hoping it was just a glitch in the set up process but the first time I did a ‘require sign in to spin’ it crashed. There doesn’t seem to have been any developer support or updates in a long time, you’d think Apple would take apps that are no longer supported out of the App Store. 🤷🏻‍♀️ **Developer response:** The latest update fixes the crashing issue. Apologies for the delay in getting it out to the people affected. ### 1/5 — Don’t Waste Your Money; Doesn’t Work *2018-03-20, version 1.03* I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this app! I purchased this app and it doesn’t even work. I’ve tried over and over but every time I create a wheel the app closes before I’m done!!! And when I go back in the Wheel I’ve been creating is gone and I have to start all over again. By the fifth time I’ve had enough! I deleted and re-installed and even tried on another device and the same thing happens. Don’t waste your money. This doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Freezes and doesn’t save *2018-03-20, version 1.03* This app Has not been updated in for too long – – I wanted to love it, and I spent way too long trying to get my first wheel to save without freezing. I must’ve done it, very carefully, about 10 times. I never review apps, until now, but don’t waste your time, people. ### 2/5 — Sadly Glitches *2018-11-08, version 1.03* I’ve been using this app for 2 years and it WAS amazing. Now, it shuts off every time I try to use it. I’ve contacted the creator. Still no fix. I’m so bummed. I used to love this. I really wish they’d listen and fix it. Then I could give it 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Very good *2019-09-11, version 2.0* Just downloaded the app. It’s really easy to setup and to weight the different choices. One issues I found was at first the soundFX worked for win or lose but now they’ve stopped playing. The wheel spinning noise works just not the other soundFX. Couldn’t find an option to contact to developer. ### 3/5 — Okay.. *2018-12-13, version 1.03* Crashes too much, when it crashes I lose all my options I used. When I re-try it crashes again won’t allow me to spin the wheel. Didn't show me it was a dollar it was only a dollar but still I got kinda worried but my mom isn’t mad. ### 3/5 — It’s good but needs improvements *2018-07-17, version 1.03* This app is amazing and super fun except for when it crashes. This app will randomly crash and you will lose all of your work. This can get super annoying if you have to keep redoing it over and over again!! Besides this the concept is good except I wouldn’t know completely because it keeps crashing and I can’t even finish making one! Just think about this!❤️ - User of Spinny! ### 3/5 — Was good *2018-05-23, version 1.03* The one time I use this it was great but recently I’ve gone back to using it went to make a list for wheeled to spin. But after making about seven options the app closed and I lost all progress. What’s the point of this app if it doesn’t save the progress. Now I just want my money back ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great for managing prize giveaways! *2023-01-11, version 2.0* I just used this on an iPad to manage the dispersal of over 80 gifts at an event. It tracked the inventory of each type of gift, making the actual event a breeze. I’m sure some of my colleagues will be buying this app as well after seeing it in action! Everybody was impressed with how it looked and how interactive it was. It was a big hit for the $.99 price tag! The one thing I would have liked to see was the ability to adjust inventory on the fly. We had some items given away outside of the application and there was no easy way to account for that after the spinning had begun. It just meant some folks got a free spin. ;-) We also couldn’t get the sound working for whatever reason. Still giving it 5 stars given the value you get for the cost!! ### 5/5 — So glad to have this back! *2020-08-13, version 2.0* I posted the message below about a year ago. Since then the app has been updated and I’m so glad to have it back!!! Thanks to the developer for listening, responding and making fixes. I highly recommend this app! I love the ability to customize the spinner. It works great for student behavior management and reward systems. 1 Year ago. I love this app! It’s so clean and customizable. I’m so sad that it crashes all the time and hasn’t been updated for new versions of iOS. I’d highly recommend it if it didn’t crash and delete wheel options. **Developer response:** The latest update fixes the crashing issue. Apologies for the delay in getting it out to the people affected. ### 5/5 — Love to use on in my group page’ *2020-07-31, version 2.0* It will hold names all month long on the wheel. Great options for prizes and life spins. ### 5/5 — Thanks for the update *2019-03-23, version 2.0* I already liked the app, but it was held back by all the crashes. But, the update fixed all of that and now it’s a great app. ### 5/5 — Everyone should have this app!!! *2019-03-20, version 2.0* New Review: Best App EVER! Only good one out there! Old Review: I really love your game, but there is one big problem. The game just closes out and when I get back in the game if I didn’t save something it didn’t save. It closes out ALOT! Here is another problem. It only lets me put 10 maybe 11 things in the wheel. When I spin the wheel and I have more than 11 things the wheel pops up but the things on the wheel don’t pop up then it closes out of the game. It should let me put as much as I want and not close out and not save. Just so you know, you know how I said if I put more than 10 or 11 it would close out of the app. It doesn’t do that anymore. Here is something you should add. You should add folders. If there were folders I could separate the nerf Gun Game wheels from the Lottery Game wheels. Sorry for the long review but may you please fix this problem. ### 5/5 — Amazing Spinner! *2018-11-25, version 1.03* I use this spinner with family and when I work with young children. They are delighted with the sounds and the visual image of spinning and confetti. The spinner ramps up their enthusiasm for whatever I am trying to teach them. It allows them to learn while having fun! Also, I appreciate how accessible Bill is to work with. He is always available to answer questions and give help. Thanks, Bill! ### 5/5 — It’s great *2018-11-22, version 1.03* It’s a very useful app. It’s not one of those lazy wheels where it’ll only land on one space all the time this is a random wheel which will land on a certain space depending on the accuracy of your spin, it really feels completely random. I use this all the time to decide what subway line I’m going to take in New York ### 5/5 — Easy. Flexible. Perfect. *2018-03-20, version 1.03* SpinnyWheel is by far the best “Wheel-of-Fortune” type choice wheel app available. You can quickly create and save a variety of custom spinning wheels that are an entertaining way for your business or school audience to make choices. SpinnyWheel is intuitive to use, and lets you choose/edit: color schemes, backgrounds, and the order and color of individual “pie slices.“ It also lets you automatically delete a choice once it has been selected. I was happily surprised by the amount of customization available. I use mine for education, but I can also see where it might have some fun and entertaining business uses also. Give it a spin. It’s the best $.99 you’ll ever spend! ### 5/5 — Amazing. Does the job and more. *2017-07-13, version 1.03* I thought of this idea a really long time ago, but this dev made the app with more features than I would have thought of. Great work! My only recommendation would be to update the graphics to look better on iPhone + models and maybe an iPad version. Totally worth the money!! ### 5/5 — Please Keep Updated *2017-04-13, version 1.03* Great app. Please keep updated. I can't imagine not having it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
