Read full descriptionHide full description
Let's play with mysterious Benham's disk. You can see various colors appearing from the black and white disk! Different colors will be shown if you change the spin speed and patterns. So let's try spinning by yourself. ### Spin the sample disks ### There are three sample disks. Those all have interesting visual effects. Some disks do not show colors in sunlight, but colors appear under the fluorescent lights. You'll get a sense of wonder. ### Make your own disks ### You can also edit the sample disks. If you long-press a disk, disk-pattern editor will open. Moreover, you can make your own disk from scratch by tapping the plus button. You've successfully made your own cool disks? So why not sharing them. You can export disk images to Photo Library and print them to make 'real' Benham's disks. ### Spin photos from Photo Library ### Next, let's import your photo snaps from the Photo Library. How about taking a picture of umbrella, plate or your face? Spinning them in Benham's disk brings you lots of fun! You can change scaling and central point to see different effects. Now the creation of Benham's disk made easy!

Binky is the most stress-free social media app ever! Think about all those times when you want to scroll through a feed on your phone, but you don't want to read depressing news articles or see photos from people who seem happier than you. Binky gives you the incessant micro-thrills of scrolling through stuff, never knowing what's coming next, without all the hassle. And the things you do in Binky don't end up on a server somewhere for the world to see. It's all the fun of social media with all the privacy you wish you had! Features: * An infinite list of random stuff (we call them "Binks"), with pictures. You won't care about some of them, but others will give you a fleeting feeling of satisfaction -- just like a real app! * Each Bink has a Like button so that you can like it, just like a real app! * Swipe left or right on Binks, because it's weirdly satisfying, just like a real app! * Leave a comment! Unlike a real app, you don't have to stress about what to say. Just mash the keyboard and Binky will think of an appropriate comment for you! Where's THAT feature, Facebook? * A "share" button that doesn't do anything! * Scroll through over a thousand Binks, including: sawdust, Sam Cooke, rutabagas, laser tag, merman, mascara, puddles, and elbow. If you read all the way through that last bullet point, you're already hooked. Download it today!
