Magic Sums
Read full descriptionHide full description
Magic Sums is a game in which you have to solve magical squares. Each level consists of a grid of numbers and the sum to be obtained for each row and column. The aim of the game is to find the numbers to keep and those to delete so that the total of the rows and columns matches the sums shown. Magic Sums is a great exercise in logic and mental arithmetic. Everyone has their own technique, but do your best to enter the awards list! Have fun!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Magic Sums at none against Summation's 2. Summation's advantage is device support and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price there is nothing between them.
