SimuFísica brings together interactive Physics simulators to study, teach and experiment. Change the parameters, see what happens right away and compare the result with your own calculation. WHAT YOU GET • 48 simulators covering Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Optics, Waves, Modern Physics and more topics, for high school and university. • Graphs of the variables in real time, alongside the simulation. • Control of parameters and initial conditions, with sliders and editable values. • Three-dimensional simulations that you rotate and zoom with your fingers. • Pre-configured examples to get started quickly and see classic cases. • Exercise generator: create problems with different values and check the answer in the simulation. • Annotations on screen: draw, write and add arrows and shapes on top of the simulator (iPad only). • Virtual labs to repeat experiments with no equipment and no risk. • Simulation data to download and analyze in a spreadsheet. • Camera in data-acquisition simulators, such as the filmed pendulum. • Search and filters by topic, education level and favorites. 20 LANGUAGES Português, English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, 中文, Русский, العربية, हिन्दी, বাংলা, Bahasa Indonesia, Tiếng Việt, ไทย, Türkçe, Kiswahili, فارسی and اردو. ACCOUNT (OPTIONAL) Create an account to save your simulations, favorite simulators and open them later on any device. You don't need an account to use the simulators. WHO IT'S FOR Students, teachers, curious minds and anyone who wants to review Physics in a visual way. Questions and suggestions: https://simufisica.com

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SimuFísica at none against PhysicsLab's 1. SimuFísica also leads on ads (none vs shown). PhysicsLab's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
