ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hand Control holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hand Control has 742 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Fidget Spinner's written reviews are positive against 45% of Hand Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fidget Spinner ships an update every 3 months, Hand Control every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
