From taking a vinyl record out of the jacket and putting it on the turntable to start playing, to finishing the performance and putting it back in the jacket, it moves just like a real player. You can touch the vinyl record with your finger to change the speed, stop the turntable with your finger for scrubbing, or stop the tone arm with your finger to make the needle skip. But, unlike the real thing, no matter how harshly you handle it, the original sound source will not be damaged at all! Enjoy the feeling of listening to records on a record player to your heart's content. Feature - The jacket and turntable display are fun to look at. - Free selection from your music library. - 4 types of vinyl disk form from donut record to LP record. - A cool animation of the record playback process. - Auto start behavior like a real player. - The front of the jacket depicts the artwork. - Tap the edge of the jacket to flip it over to the back of the jacket. - On the back of the jacket is a list of songs that can be selected by tapping. - Use the slider on the back of the jacket to freely seek within the song. - Split multiple songs into side 1 and side 2 like a real record. - A prank of slowing down by touching the record disk with a finger. - Scrubbing play by moving the turntable with your finger. - Stop the tone arm with your finger and play a needle jumping prank. - Tap the tonearm with your finger continuously to generate short repeats.

瓶をなぞって色砂を注ぎ、層を重ねて模様をつくるアプリです。 観光地の土産物にある「砂絵ボトル」を、指先で作れます。 ■ 実在する砂の色で作れる 色を「きれいな色」として並べるのではなく、実際にその色をした砂浜・砂丘の砂を収録しました。選ぶと、どこの砂で、なぜその色なのかが表示されます。 ・日本の砂 — 鳥取砂丘、琴引浜の鳴き砂、竹富島の星の砂、屋久島いなか浜、九十九里浜、田子の浦 ・世界の砂 — ホワイトヘブン(オーストラリア)、シェルビーチ、ボラカイ、レイニスフィヤラ(アイスランド)、プナルウ(ハワイ)、カイハルル ・めずらしい砂 — かんらん石の緑(ハワイ/ガラパゴス)、有孔虫のピンク(バハマ/バミューダ)、ガーネットの紫、佐渡の砂金 星の砂が有孔虫の殻そのものであることや、ピンクの砂浜の色が赤い有孔虫によることなど、一行の解説を添えています。 ■ 砂は一粒ずつ落ちて積もる 画像を貼り付けるのではなく、粒をひとつずつ計算しています。注いだ砂は山になり、崩れ、先に入れた色の上に重なります。端末を傾けると、積もった層が流れて模様が変わります。 ■ 作れるもの ・器は12種類(とっくり、フラスコ、たまご、砂時計、ハート、ねこ など) ・砂の色は54色。既存の色の組と、実在の砂の組から選べます ・砂の量は3段階。細く重ねる層と、一気に埋める層を使い分けられます ・注いでいる間は砂の音が鳴ります(音は切り替えられます) ■ 作った瓶は棚に並ぶ 保存した瓶は棚に立てて並びます。あとから開いて続きを注ぐこともできます。画像として書き出して残せます。 ■ そのほか ・インターネット接続は不要です。すべて端末の中で動きます ・アカウント登録やログインはありません ・個人情報を収集しません

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SandArt at none against CRPlayer's 2. SandArt also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). CRPlayer's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
