Community Insight:
We love it so much it helps with us and our sister cant decide.
You should have a way to put images instead of just colors on the wheel.
Im a Libra and we have trouble making decisions. This app is simple and sweet if you just want a wheel tbh. Anyways we would recommend <33.
We love this app so so much! We think it is the best wheel spinning app yet. :) our only problem is the sound. We think it is annoying and it would be nice for a different sound. (Just a suggestion) Anyway, its a great app and we so recommend this! Ima go figure out what to eat for lunch lol.
No explanation needed, it works as intended and helps make decisions. 5 beautiful stars.
When you do t know what to pick you can just use this wheel and it will help you.
Listen this is a great app It has helped us so much we absolutely love this and we hope everybody sees this and gets to experience it greatness.
VERY good!! Makes it so easy for us and our boyfriend to choose a restaurant to go to!!! Definitely recommend.
We got this app yesterday and we use it on Fortnite its pretty fun but if u have a big wheel please let us see the whole wheel Thank You.
We can be very indecisive and often have trouble figuring out what to do next. This is the best app to leave it up to Whirligig to decide. So happy we found this. Thank you.
Amazing app works well and not glitchy.
Use for figuring out were to land in fortnite.
Fellas listen. How many times have you been trying to figure out where to eat and ask your girl what do you want to eat? And she says idk its up to you. This app will rid you of an indecisive girlfriend.
We use this for quick character creation. Our only gripe is that it forces streaming music like pandora to stop when this app is opened.
Great app fun easy and free. Clean and professional.
This is a terrific application that is very easy to use and doesnt have any unnecessary frill. Occasionally a wheel will die, meaning you select the wheel and it crashes out of the app. It will repeat and you just have to create a new wheel. But its very intermittent. Enough that we still use the app regularly. The only real complaint is that there is no way to alphabetize the list of wheels – and once youve got a lot of wheels it becomes a chore to find them. Ive tried several other wheels and they were all too painful to learn and use. Highly recommended.
We use this app for wheel deciders on our TikTok account. Theres no adds, easy to use, and we love how you can customize the color so well.
We use the app all the time, but would like to see one simple feature. We would like to have a button that randomizes entries rather than having to drag each entry up or down.
Not so fun but it is fair in gaming.
We dont like how it changes all the time we color organized it in editing and then when we went back to the wheel it was all messed up we think there should be like a button to press and that mixes it up or something.
When picking the hardest decisions this is the way to go. :::)))).
Great app! Very useful for decisions you just cant make. There is one problem. For the custom colors, it is very hard to make grays and browns. Also we wish you could change the background of your wheel so that you could have white for your answers. You should still download it because its very useful.
We love how u create all the different wheels and dont really need to pay anything. Plus u get to customize the color of each thing on the wheel.we love to color coordinate our wheels. This is an awesome app.
This app is amazing! We can create our wheel and we can organize our wheel to how we want it to look by changing the colors! We can also add a bunch of other options to our wheel and it helps us with our day because Im not the best decision maker. We like this app a lot.
We like the app and it's more fun.
This app supports 1000 choices per question, but expects you to type it all in. Would be better if it allowed us to import via pasting a list. Also, an iPad version would be nice.
We made a wheel with more than 30 answers and it keeps glitching. Plz update.
This app is abandoned. It has not been updated In years. There is no privacy report. The app is crashing with larger wheels(IOS15+). Download something else.
Used to give us random results but now Im every best 2 of 3 it gives us the first option we put in as the winner of all 3. This has happened every time for at least a month before we deleted and started using another app.
Got this to play a game that involved picking cards from a bag to remove the physical pieces for convenience. After entering all 30 answers, we spun the wheel. After 1 second of spinning the app closed. We reopened the app and hit the button to enter the wheel and it immediately crashed! Flustered we tried again and again with similar results ending with the game crashing. Im sure smaller wheels work but for for our purposes, it is useless.
We do gymnastics and we tell our parents to open this app up and they spin, its great because we get to practice and they get to watch us.
This game was deleted for a long time and just recently it was revived! Yay.
This app is great for when your girl doesn't know what she wants to eat. Going to get ALOT of use out of this.
Works really well, and we're so pleased with it. Thanks.
It's simple, makes decisions for you, what else do you need.
It is great for making contests and choosing winners , we wish that we could add more than 50 options though.
Fun and simple. Great for a group of indecisive friends.
Good for making decisions, but only holds 50 answers. We've got a couple more places to eat at lunch, so a few lose out.
