This app is a Turing Machine Simulator. Students of computer science and maths are probably familar with Turing Machines, because the Turing Machine is one of the important models when analyzing if mathematical problems or algorithms are computable. Usually dealing with Turing machines requires paper and pencil for simulating the program execution. This app can help by providing several ways to execute Turing programs and analyze it in an easy and comfortable way. You can write new programs for the Turing Machine, execute them and analyze the execution even step by step. It's also possible to change the speed of the execution. It's possible to export and import Turing programs using email. The app comes with some example Turing programs to play with.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Turing Machine Simulator at 100% against Creative Widget Builder's 0%. Creative Widget Builder's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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
Creative Widget Builder is free to download; Turing Machine Simulator costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Creative Widget Builder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Turing Machine Simulator's written reviews are positive against 0% of Creative Widget Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Turing Machine Simulator ships an update every 16 months, Creative Widget Builder every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
