LogicGates vs MiniLogic
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
LogicGates
Explore the fundamental principles of computer operation by understanding how simple switching circuits can perform basic arithmetic functions like addition. This app demonstrates logic gate concepts, potentially inspiring users to build their own computing components.
- Explains basic computer switching circuits
- Demonstrates addition function using logic gates
- Introduces fundamental logic gate principles
- Potential for hands-on computing component creation

The basic principle of a computer is a combination of some switching circuits. The light switch that we normally use is a switching circuit, and the computing chip uses a very large number (currently hundreds of millions) of circuits to achieve a fast computing function. This APP is to introduce how to use some switch circuits to achieve an addition function. This is also the basic principle of logic gate, after understanding the basic principle, maybe you can make CPU by hand.
MiniLogic
Explore the fundamental principles of digital logic with this app. Learn about the six basic logic gate types and experiment with them individually or by building simple circuits. It offers a straightforward, ad-free educational experience focused purely on logic.
- Learn basic logic gate types (AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, NOT)
- Individual gate behavior with Logic Cards
- Build simple circuits with multiple gate chaining
- View truth tables for circuits
- Minimalist design with no distractions
- Ad-free educational experience

Fun with logic gates. Learn and play with the 6 basic logic gate types AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR, and NOT. Either individual gate behavior with a Logic Card, or multiple gate chaining into a simple circuit with truth table using a Circuit Card. A simple fun educational experience. This is minimalist by design with no ads, no in-app purchases, no pro buy-up version, no data collection or profiling, no bells and whistles, and no fancy moving graphics to distract you, just logic.
