Users are invited to be physically present at specific locations to experience AR artworks in situ. When users select the Coordinates feature, based on their location, they will be directed toward artworks – translated into AR-- created by artists that activate the historically, politically or culturally significant sites they have chosen. “Coordinates” aims to inspire thoughtful dialogue and expand our understanding of public art. By pressing the AR Artworks button, users can view, explore and place Nancy Baker Cahill’s dimensional drawings in the environment of their choice. Drawings can be rotated, scaled, placed and recorded by user.

Spinly is the simplest way to make a decision. You spin a colorful wheel and it picks for you. Make a wheel for anything you keep arguing about. Dinner. Chores. Which movie. Which student goes first. Which dare comes next. Give it a spin and let the wheel decide. WHAT IT DOES You add a few slices, label them, pick colors, and spin. The wheel accelerates with real physics, ticks past each slice with a haptic tap, slows down, lands, and hands you an answer with a little confetti. Then you spin it again. FEATURES • A satisfying spin animation with physics-based deceleration, per-slice haptic taps, and a celebratory reveal. • Up to twenty slices per wheel. Weight any slice heavier if you want it to come up more often, or lighter if you want to keep it on the wheel as a long shot. • Full color customization for every slice. Six brand-tuned defaults plus a color picker for anything else. • Sound effects and haptic feedback that make the spin feel like something real. Toggle either off at any time. • Save every wheel you make and spin it again anytime. A dinner wheel. A chores wheel. A movie wheel. A truth-or-dare wheel. Whatever you want a wheel for. • No ads. No banners. No interstitials. Nothing ever interrupts the spin. • Free to install with up to three saved wheels. Unlock unlimited wheels for a one-time $1.99. No subscription. No monthly fee. Pay once and it is yours. USE CASES • Couples deciding what is for dinner. • Families picking a movie for movie night. • Friend groups picking activities, restaurants, or bars. • Teachers randomizing which student goes next. • Party hosts running truth or dare, karaoke picks, or spin the bottle. • Anyone who has ever stared at a menu and said "I do not know, you pick." WHY SPINLY Every other wheel app is either wallpapered in ads or hidden behind a subscription. Spinly is free to start, one-time $1.99 to unlock everything, and never shows an ad. The whole app is one satisfying spin. Built by DAK Enterprises for people who just want the wheel to decide for once. PRIVACY Spinly stores your wheels on your device. No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing about your life leaves your phone. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture. QUESTIONS Reach us at dkndyii@gmail.com. A human reads every message. Made by DAK Enterprises.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 4th Wall at none against Spinly's 1. 4th Wall also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
