AR "Galileo"

This is the application for the paper-cutting exhibition "Galileo" at Caffè Le Rose [place: https://goo.gl/maps/nhCv4R5yHVVYKWe67] in Florence, which will be held from 9 September to 31 October in 2020. When you hold your device over each of my artworks, AR (Augmented Reality) is popping up! The theme of this exhibition is about "Galileo Galilei", one of the most magnificent Italian scientists. I hope you can enjoy learning about Galileo's scientific discoveries and anecdotes with my app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AR "Galileo" at none against ARtoon's 3. AR "Galileo" also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 26.0). ARtoon's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
