Covfefe Spinner
Novelty apps can be a fun way to pass the time, and the Windows Store is full of them. With the popularity of fidget spinners, it was only a matter of time before we saw a fidget-spinner app surface in the Store. Covfefe Spinner is one of the best out there.

The free app is available for Windows 10 PC and Mobile, as well as Xbox One and Windows Holographic. The app has your fidget spinner taking center screen, and as you swipe the screen to spin the spinner, your revolutions and rotations per minute (RPM) are displayed along the side of the screen. The more revolutions you spin, the more coins you earn that can be used to customize your spinner.
Customization options include a vast assortment of colors and eight different spinner arms. In addition to the spinner customization, Covfefe Spinner includes options to change the background and launch a Jez Mode, inspired by Window Central's our Senior Editor Jez Cordon!
The app hasn't been available for long and has quickly developed into an addictive, entertaining way to lose track of time. Covfefe Spinner is not a very complicated app, and it's an easy gift for Dad to keep him busy earning coins and to see how fast he can spin the fidget.

Individual recipes list the needed ingredients and the steps to make the concoctions. Drinks that you find particularly appealing can be tagged as favorites and listed on the app's main menu Favorites Page for easy access. The main pages of Cocktail Genie also contain pages that list frequently visited drinks and your most recently viewed drink recipe.
