I made an app that randomises things. What would you use the app for?

I wouldn't use it, but I did try it out. I've thoughts, but I'm not your target audience.

Put a pointer indicator on the right side, to indicate where success will be. (Eg, like https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/uploads/users/1557/posts/289... , though that's at the top.)

De-randomize your RNG so it doesn't have the same animation two times in a row.

Stop the animation after 5 seconds or so. If people want to see it again, they'll hit randomize a few times.

The rocking wheel is a nice touch. Have it rock once or twice more.

Start spinning on down-press, and don't start the slowdown until release.

Thanks for taking the time to use and your feedback.

I'll ask some other people about the Pointer Indicator and see how others feel about it? But I what you are saying.

Yeah, I reduced the time it takes to spin. I should just get to the point :)

I think I'll add some more gif from giphy.com. Any good ones you guys recommend?

Have a great and thanks again!
