Phys 1 vs Osmosis and Diffusion
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Phys 1
Engage in a physics-based puzzle adventure where you solve problems using specialized tools. Experience rapid feedback to learn and adapt, with randomized obstacles ensuring unique challenges. Explore concepts like kinematics, free fall, and projectiles.
- Physics-based puzzle solving
- Kinematics tools (time, displacement, velocity)
- Drag-and-drop equation solver
- Free fall and projectile exploration
- Randomized obstacles for replayability
- Experiential learning feedback

Phys 1 is a puzzle adventure that requires players to use tools in order to solve physics problems. Learning is enhanced through quick experiential feedback. Players must learn and adapt if they are to advance through the game. Obstacle randomization allows for unique problems for each player! Physics topics included kinematics (big 3 equations). Features: -Use the time tool to accurately measure how long it takes objects to go from point 1 to point 2. -Use the displacement tool to measure the distance (and direction) between two points. -The velocity tool is later unlocked to measure the speed (and direction) of quickly moving obstacles. -Use pres-set launch values and measured variables in a drag-and-drop equation to solve for unknowns. -Explore free fall and projectiles by solving for unknowns in order to make goals and predict time of flight.

The DOST Courseware is a locally-produced, all-original Filipino highly interactive multimedia educational application packages that are conceptualized, digitized and produced as spearheaded by the Science Education Institute (SEI-DOST) in partnership with the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI-DOST) and in cooperation with the Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine Normal University (PNU) and University of the Philippines-National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (UP-NISMED), which aims to develop information and communication technology learning innovation to support the upgrading and improvement of science and mathematics education in the country. The DOST Courseware are provided for free to schools and are also made available online as supplemental resources for teachers and student as a fun and interactive approach to e-learning and blended learning. The Grade 7 DOST Courseware is composed of 120 lessons overall, 73 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Matter; Force, Motion and Energy, Living Things and Their Environment and Earth and Space while the 60 lessons in Mathematic covered the domains on: Numbers and Number Sense, Patterns and Algebra, and Geometry. The Grade 8 DOST Courseware is composed of 118 lessons overall, 61 lessons in Science where it covered the domains on: Parts and Functions, Ecosystems, Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits, Structures and Functions, Biodiversity, and Evolution, while the 57 lessons in Mathematics covered the domains on: Linear Equations, Quadratic Equations, Rational Algebraic Equations, Integral Exponents, Radicals, Arithmetic Sequence and Geometric Sequence. The themes of the courseware for Grades 7 and 8, Magicademy, Freddy’s Lab and D’nayao will surely amuse the users as they explore these distinct worlds while learning at the same time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Phys 1 at 9.0 against Osmosis and Diffusion's 12.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
