Galileo Data Entry
Read full descriptionHide full description
This great App allows the social scientist to conduct surveys that all users of the app will see. The users fill out these surveys by reporting the differences (or distances) between a list of concepts. The user reports the distance of each concept to each other concept. This data creates a matrix of responses that can be reconstructed into a 3D map showing a 'conceptual space' using 'R' software, available for free download. This App can be also be used to collect any multidimensional scaling data such as that collected and mapped by SPSS, Statistics Package for the Social Sciences, an IBM product and a variety of other applications that are available for purchase. When the user is done filling out the survey, the user selects 'Exit and Send' and the data that was collected by the App is delivered to the social scientist as a list of pairs of concepts and the differences (or distances) between them. Any questions, contact the author on the support site! Need a custom version for your organization? Contact the author? This software can also be used to collect data for the Galileo System created by Rick Holmes and a variety of students over the years from Michigan State University, SUNY Albany and SUNY Buffalo including the author for Dr. Joseph Woelfel.

GRE Calculator is for students preparing to give the GRE exam. The calculator offered here is one that's very similar to the one offered during a GRE exam's Quantitative section, because it follows the same operational restrictions. Other generic calculators aren't tailored specifically for GRE exam practice, which is why using them for practice isn't recommended because it gives students unrealistic expectations of what to expect during an actual GRE exam. Given below are *some* of the rules enforced by the on-screen calculator supplied during a GRE exam. GRE Calculator here follows these same rules, giving students a more realistic practice experience: 1) No exponent notations are used or allowed. 2) Use of parenthesis is allowed only to a single degree (i.e. nested parenthesis isn't allowed). 3) Any number with an absolute value larger than 99,999,999 is not displayed, and instead the phrase "Error" is displayed. 4) At any time, no more than 8 digits are shown on the screen. Rounding off is used where needed to meet this requirement. 5) Any computation performed that is mathematically undefined, results in the "Error" message being displayed. 6) Mathematical 'order of operations' is enforced. For example, if calculating 8 + 5 x 3 from left to right, the answer would be 23, not 39. ........... and there's still more! GRE Calculator also offers a style called 'GRE Exam Style', which makes the calculator look strikingly similar to the calculator offered during an actual GRE exam. This offers an even more realistic practice experience for all those using GRE Calculator.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GRE Calculator at Free against Galileo Data Entry's $0.99. Galileo Data Entry's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 24 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
