Ein Hersteller bietet nächstens ein Splitflap Board (Fallblatt-Anzeigesystem) an. Um die Funktion bereits zu simulieren wurde diese App entwickelt. Die App simuliert die reale Splitflap Funktion. Alle 132 Fallblätter werden einzeln angesteuert und geblättert bis das richtige Fallblatt ansteht. Für jedes zu wechselnde Fallblatt wird ein eigener Thread erzeugt. Dadurch wird eine realistische Anzeige erreicht. Ziel dieser App ist auch eine zukünftige Ansteuerung des realen Splitflat Board. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A manufacturer will soon offer a split flap board.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ELKA ECON at Free against SplitFlap's $1.99. ELKA ECON also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). SplitFlap's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
