Read full descriptionHide full description
Numina is an augmented reality app for the curious. It takes art, mathematics, science and nature and places them into the world around you as experiences to move through, interact with, and sit inside. Some experiences respond to you. Some unfold on their own. All of them ask you to look at familiar things a little differently.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Numina AR at none against HEAVYPAINT Classic's 2. HEAVYPAINT Classic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
