In 1816 scientist Sir David Brewster invented the kaleidoscope. In 2015 Art Lab Gnesta presents Laboscope, a new tool for unique observations. A decaying leaf in a mudpit transforms into a suggestive body. A sprouting bud creates intricate patterns. Just like snowflakes Laboscope never duplicates its output. Discover the ecosystems around you. With Laboscope you have an instrument for close observations, unique perspectives and a tool for you to capture the beauty. Art Lab Gnesta is collaborating with the research network Earth Colab in a mutual artistic, pedagogical and ecopolitical quest where artistic practice and natural sciences intertwine. Laboscope is an outcome of this collaboration. The work has been moderated by Erik Rören and Signe Johannessen in dialogue with approximately 100 8th graders from Frejaskolan in Gnesta, Sweden. A celebration of nature’s multifaceted beauty!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Laboscope at Free against Flexture Mirror Camera's $4.99. Laboscope also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.6). Flexture Mirror Camera's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Laboscope is free to download; Flexture Mirror Camera costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Flexture Mirror Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3.

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Laboscope's written reviews are positive against 86% of Flexture Mirror Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
