To be completely honest, Wheelify doesn't have a fully optimized choice of style in their design. Their "Wheel of Fortune" doesn't have pins in the wheel and it can be fairly hard to see where the pointer is pointing, which in the customer's point of view, demonstrates less animation making it less engageable.

Wheelio comes with a set of various different animations that set off with different interactions. The design is clear and every nuance of its visual is made with clear intent. Wheelio offers many different themes to choose from, depending on the occasion. Whether it be Christmas or Black Friday and many others, Wheelio has it inside.

It is often overlooked how the editor is configured and how it can be optimized for users to save time. With Wheelio's editor, you are greeted with a comfortable and engaging editor with a variety of customizations that you can change, so you won't have any problem fitting the mood of the store.
Wheelio also offers to apply Spin the Wheel, Slot machine, and Scratch tickets.

Thankfully Wheelio offers customer support powered by Crisp that is very responsive during the day. We might take a minute to evaluate your question, but we answer it discreetly and accurately. The customer support is very friendly and lets you choose whom you want to talk to.
However, Wheelify doesn't have Customer support implemented on their website, heck Wheelify doesn't have a website at all, and it's really hard to engage with them to find out more about what they offer and questions on how to use the app. The only way to possibly contact them is by writing in your credentials before you can contact them within their app, which makes the funnel to your success even tighter.
