FIDGET SPINNER GUIDE

A new fidget spinner app for iOS is currently in the top on Apple iTunes store’s most downloaded free iPhone apps.

Developed by Ketchapp, the free app allows users to swipe the screen in order to make the most spins – tracking your
average spins per minute with in-app purchases leading to power-ups to get more spins.

If you’re unaware, fidget spinners have become incredibly popular to children, particularly those with additional
needs such as ADHD or autism as they can help relieve stress and anxiety.

It’s also led to self proclaimed ‘pro fidgeters’ on YouTube – who show off their ‘tricks’ with a thankfully 



huge tongue in their cheek.

Fidget spinners are taking the country by storm, as the Tamagotchi and yo-yo did before them. Unlike those
other examples, spinners aren't necessarily toys, but rather concentration tools for distracted or hyperactive
They're being banned from schools all the same. In New York, you can grab one at pretty much any convenience
and twirl to your heart's content. If you can't grab one, we will, there's an app.

Finger Spinner is currently the top free iPhone game in the iTunes store. According to a review, it "seems kind of
close to the real thing!" It's a very simple game with pretty concrete goals: Swipe your screen to spin, spin to earn coins, spend coins to upgrade your spinner or change it cosmetically. People think real fidget spinners are bad,
that their supposed benefits don't exist, and that they're just dorky. The reviews on iTunes
that this view crosses over to the Finger Spinner game as well. Many unfairly state that the game gave them "cancer".

 

Look: Finger Spinner is pretty silly. The upgrades have minimal effect to the amount of times your virtual spinner
can spin in a virtual circle. There is no real strategy to spinning. This is sub-Flappy Bird levels of mindless
entertainment. The game version of fidget spinners feels like a cash grab meant to act as a distraction, 
than a concentration tool.

Amazon stocks all sorts of fidget spinners in different colors and designs. User ratings also vary quite a bit,
so to make things easy we rounded up only those fidget spinners that get 3.5 stars are higher. We then vetted those
ratings on Fakespot, which uses algorithms to determine if Amazon reviews are fake.
The fidget spinners on our list earned a B grade from that site.

It also lacks the thing that makes fidget spinners so satisfying: Heft. As I was walking to the office today
I saw a girl playing with one and asked her about it a little. It was her co-worker's, she was waiting around
on a job and she finds it pretty fun as an idle distraction.
she told me, "It saves my boredom." she then let me
take it for a whirl and well, it isn't the act of spinning it that makes it feel good, it's that
it has a solid weight in your hand. As you flick it, the outer ring glides against the bearings. It's soothing.

It's something to do without doing anything. While spinners get a lot of flack for being a glorified toy or more
proof that millennials don't have an attention span or whatever, tooling around with one of those things sure
beats what I normally do when I feel fidgety: Tear the shit out of my cuticles and reflect on my most embarrassing
memories.

Finger Spinner is not a great replacement for the sensation of spinning a real fidget spinner, but mobile games offer
that kind of doing-something-but-not-really light distraction in a lot of other ways. But why not get an actual spinner?
Sure, they aren't free like Finger Spinner, but they also won't make you pay $1.99 to remove annoying ads.
