Spin makes difficult decisions easier, faster and more beautiful. Create multiple lucky wheels and customize them: choose the number of entries, change their colors, name them, and much more. The following features are included in Spin: - Easy Start: Tap the start button once to start the lucky wheel. Tap again to make it spin faster. - Number of Entries: Tap the plus and minus buttons to specify how many entries the lucky wheel should have. You can also quickly adjust the number of entries in the wheel settings. - Customize Entries: Tap a entry of the lucky wheel to change its color or name. The available colors can be adjusted in the app settings. Every entry can also have a weight that controls the likelihood of it being selected. - Templates & SpinAI: Create new wheels from a variety of templates, or let AI automatically generate one for any topic. - Multiple Lucky Wheels, Apple Watch & iCloud: You can create as many wheels as you like and quickly switch between them. All wheels are synchronized via iCloud with Spin on your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Wheels can be named to find them quickly. - Look and Feel: Spinning the wheel feels amazingly real thanks to your iPhone's Taptic Engine and is smoothly animated at the same time! Depending on your preference, the vibration and sound can also be deactivated. When the wheel comes to a stop, the field name is displayed (if available) and a beautiful confetti animation is played. - Elimination Mode: In Elimination Mode, selected entries are not selected again. If all entries have been selected, the process starts again from the beginning. - Counting Mode: In Counting Mode, the entries are numbered consecutively. You can also set the starting value from which to start counting. This means you can also use Spin as a random number generator! The counting mode can be switched on and off individually for each wheel. Please note that for space reasons, this function is not suitable for more than 30 numbers. - Color Pattern: You can define a color pattern for each wheel. The color pattern determines the colors of the new wheel entries. For many entries, the pattern is repeated. - Wheel Behavior: The rotation speed and also the duration of the wheel can be adapted to your needs. - Sounds: The sounds, which are played when the wheel spins or comes to a stop, can be personalized. - Dark Mode: The system-wide dark or light mode is used as the primary color scheme.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Spin at 94 against Wall Scratch Counter's 1. Spin also leads on device support (5 vs 3). Wall Scratch Counter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
