SpinCanvas is a painting app where you lay color onto a spinning disc, like a pottery wheel. Touch the disc while it spins, and even a still finger draws rings and arcs as the disc turns beneath it. Move your finger to make spirals. Turn on symmetry mode and you get kaleidoscope-like patterns. You don't have to try to draw well. Just touch, and it becomes art. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Relax and let your hand move without thinking • Create geometric and mandala-style designs in seconds • Draw together with kids • Make your own profile icon or phone wallpaper DRAW • Just touch the disc. Hold still for rings, move for spirals • Pause the disc to draw carefully while it's still • Symmetry mode mirrors every stroke into 2–12 segments • Eraser turns painted areas transparent again • Undo removes your last stroke COLORS • Six palettes: Standard, Japanese, Pastel, Neon, Monochrome, and Earth • Create any color with the color picker • Recently used colors are kept automatically BRUSHES • Round, Soft, Spray, Dry, Square, and Star • A "Speed" brush that gets thinner the faster the disc spins • Adjustable size and opacity DISC • Rotation speed and reverse rotation • Base color: white, black, any color, or a transparency checker • Wood and ceramic textures • Concentric, radial, and grid guide lines EXPORT • Save as PNG to Photos or share directly • High-resolution export at 2K, 4K, or wallpaper size • Transparent, white, black, or custom backgrounds • Choose whether to include the disc base SPINCANVAS PRO One purchase unlocks every feature forever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SpinWheelArt at none against SpinCanvas's 1. SpinWheelArt also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). SpinCanvas's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
