Stuck in line? Need a break at work? Kids need something to play with? Well... why not jiggle some balls? Jiggle Balls is a "visualization" that will help you pass the time away! Simply tap on the screen to add new balls. Watch them as they fall "realistically" to the ground. Rotate your device and they'll tumble around the screen. Flick the balls and watch 'em fly! And how about those bongo bouncing noises when they hit the side walls? Jiggle Balls uses a revolutionary physics engine to simulate real world forces. You'll be amazed at how much fun it is to see how the balls react to your movements. In fact, put it on your center console in your car or take it with you on the train, subway, or schoolbus and watch the balls slam forward as you brake and then slide backwards as you accelerate. Try it around the corners too... but keep your eyes on the road! Jiggle Balls allows you to change many of the visuals. You can try different colored balls or try different gravity schemes. Watch how the balls would respond if you were in space with no gravity. Or how about EXTREME gravity? SQUASH! And now you can try different weights on the balls, choose your own background from your photo album, and set the bounciness! Jiggle Balls will keep you and your kids entertained for hours. And if your boss walks in on you and you are "jiggling" balls, tell him to visit the App Store and try it himself! New features being added all the time! Watch the video at www.funkyvisions.com. REVIEWS - We were in a long line with my kids today and Jiggle Balls kept my 3 year old entertained until the line was over! - It's always the simple things that are the best. Great job lads. - This app is neat! I used it to help my science class learn about atoms.

3D Spinner - the most realistic virtual fidget spinner app you can get! Featuring realistic physics, 3D graphics and sound, 3D Spinner lets you play with a variety of fidget spinners as if you're really holding them. Just touch the screen and see your finger interact with the spinner as if it's really there. Move the device around to view and spin the spinner from any angle using the gyro. Or hold the center of the spinner with one hand and spin with the other, rotating the device to feel simulated gyroscopic effects with actual vibration just like the real thing! Features: - Realistic 3D graphics and sound - Realistic physics and spin times - Plastic 3-sided spinners, metal 2-sided spinners, different metals like anodised aluminium, luminescent plastic, brass and even solid gold spinners! - Spinners have different main bearings - steel, steel-ceramic hybrid and full ceramic ball bearings for even longer spin times - Vibration when rotating while holding just like the real thing - Various options are available such as removing bearing covers or the center caps to see the ball bearings in action - Option to show RPM and spin time - Option to disable the gyro/accelerometer to pan/zoom the view manually Fidget spinners are claimed to help with relieving stress and anxiety, and even ADHD. 3D Spinner tries to be as close to simulating a real fidget spinner as possible, so if the claims are true, then this app might help relieve those conditions too. 3D Spinner - a great fidget toy and stress-reliever, not just for kids but adults too!
