Die Applikation soll Schüler*innen in einer korrekten Modellbildung des elektrischen Stroms unterstützen. Dafür verknüpft sie am realen Experiment gemachte Beobachtungen (Lämpchen leuchtet nicht/wenig/hell, Stromstärkenmesswerte im Parallelkreis, …) mit entsprechenden, durch AR auf das Experiment projizierten physikalischen Modellvorstellungen. Dies verbindet auf intuitive Art und Weise beispielsweise die Beobachtung einer hell leuchtenden Lampe im Parallelstrang des kleinen Widerstands mit der Visualisierung einer dort höheren Stromstärke durch sich schneller bewegende virtuelle Elektronen. Die Applikation überblendet einen Stromkreis mit Darstellungen der Leitungselektronen und Visualisierungen des elektrischen Potentials (durch Färbung der Leiterstücke gemäß des Elektronengasmodells bzw. mithilfe eines Höhenmodells). Für quantitative Betrachtungen können an den Bauteilen Messwerte der elektrischen Grundgrößen (Stromstärke, Spannung, Widerstand) angezeigt werden. Ausgewählte Bauteile wurden auch mit Innenansichten versehen, die es ermöglichen, Interaktionen der Leitungselektronen mit der Materie auf Teilchenebene zu beobachten. Die App ermöglicht die qualitative und quantitative Untersuchung von einfachen Stromkreisen bis hin Reihen- und Parallelschaltungen und Kombinationen dieser.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PUMA at none against AR's 8. PUMA also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). AR's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AR sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. PUMA asks for nothing beyond the download.
PUMA ships an update every 5 months, AR every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
