Fidget Spinner Plus

Is this still a thing? Apparently so…

Free From Paul Dumais Made for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch Needs iOS 9.0 or later Readers with kids will instantly recognize the subject of our next app. Fidget Spinner Plus is yet another simulated version of those annoying real-world plastic widgets found in retail stores everywhere. Unlike the real thing, this won’t cost you a dime, and there are 14 different spinners to choose from — or you can create your own using one or more custom colors on the iPhone app.

On Apple Watch, turning the spinner is done by rotating the Digital Crown or multiple taps or swipes on the display, while Force Touch changes to a different type of spinner. There’s even a Complication that can be used to launch your favorite spinner right from any supported Watch face.

There are no sound effects on Apple Watch, but the ad-supported iPhone app offers audio plus a game play field where you can bounce the spinner around the screen, plus Battle Mode for playing with two spinners at once.

The bottom line. Mildly entertaining, but it works better on iPhone.
