Refine - Fix text to icon alignment in menu (text always appeared top-aligned)
Admin - update app display name from bottle flip to flippy supply
Tested - change flick behavior to map to direction of flick, not distance from bottle
- Before
  - Flicks starting left of bottle = clockwise
  - Flicks starting right of the bottle = counterclockwise
- After
  - Flicking left to right anywhere = clockwise
  - right -> left = counterclockwise

- wrap all edge cases
  - user cancels -> tries again through any entry (works)
  - (has checked "do not ask") user signs in -> signs out -> gets auto sign in prompt -> cancels -> tries again through leaderboard (works)
  - - (has checked "do not ask") user signs in -> signs out -> gets auto sign in prompt -> cancels -> closes app and re-opens -> is not prompted automatically
  - - (has checked "do not ask") user signs in -> signs out -> gets auto-prompt -> signs in
  - (has not checked "do not ask") user signs in -> signs out -> should get custom-prompt
