Kmap vs Boolean Algebra
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Kmap
Simplify Boolean expressions and create Karnaugh maps for up to six variables. Offers both Sum of Products and Product of Sums, with support for 'don't-care' conditions and step-by-step solution viewing. Ideal for students and engineers in digital logic and computer engineering.
- Karnaugh map creation (2-6 variables)
- Automatic Boolean minimization
- Sum of Products (SOP) and Product of Sums (POS)
- Don't-care (X) support
- Truth table input
- Color-coded grouping overlays
- Step-by-step solution view

Kmap helps students and engineers simplify Boolean expressions quickly and clearly. Create and solve 2 to 6 variable Karnaugh maps with automatic minimization and a clean, fast interface. Features: Sum of Products (SOP) and Product of Sums (POS) Don't-care (X) support Direct K-map input Truth table input Color-coded grouping overlays Step-by-step solution view Light and dark appearance Ideal for digital logic, computer engineering, and Boolean algebra coursework.
Boolean Algebra
This app helps users understand and solve complex Boolean expressions. It allows for direct K-Map updates, truth table generation, and circuit diagram visualization. Users can interact with minimized circuits and learn about logic gates.
- Resolve complex Boolean expressions
- Update K-Map and derive minimized solutions
- Generate truth tables and corresponding circuits
- View and interact with minimized circuit diagrams
- Learn about logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, etc.)
- Dark Mode support

After enormous success in desktop for over a decade, the original "Boolean Algebra" app is here on iOS. What it does, well almost everything. - Resolve complex Boolean expressions. - Directly update K-Map and derive minimized solutions (all possible minimal solutions, not just one). - Update Truth table and generate minimized K-Map values, corresponding circuit, and lot more. - View and interact with minimized circuit. You can also switch between all the minimal solutions available. - Tapping on the variable name in the circuit will toggle its value, zero or one, and update the circuit accordingly. - You also have an option to view Sum of Products, Product of Sums, Min terms and Max terms. - Interactive section(s) to learn more about all the gates (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, XNOR, NAND and NOR) - Option to change variable order in K-Map - Dark Mode What is next? - Quick search for minimized solution. - Easy to verify answers with explanation (why it is wrong) - Option to generate circuits using universal gates - Adding "do not care" option - Support for more than four variables - Zoom in/out in circuit

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kmap at 5.0 against Boolean Algebra's 4.0. Kmap also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%). Boolean Algebra's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 128 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
