Simple Roulette Maker
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app allows you to create a roulette wheel, which is useful for deciding things randomly. You can set the number of items on the roulette and the likelihood of each item being selected (the size of the item) to create your own original roulette. The data of the created roulette can be saved, so you can quickly prepare a roulette for various situations. When you press the button in the center of the roulette, it spins either clockwise or counterclockwise. The spinning speed is random, and the roulette can be stopped by either the passage of time or by tapping the center button again. Please use it like drawing straws when you have trouble deciding something!

I'm building a feature length AR experience, scene by scene. A piece of theatre about perspective, and how we stopped hearing each other. And how we might fix it. And, through this platform, a piece of theatre you can experience wherever you are. This space will be updating and expanding until it eventually contains the entire piece, and more. Your support couldn't mean more than it would right now. publicvariabletheatre.org

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The Public Variable at none against Simple Roulette Maker's shown. The Public Variable also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
