Physics++ is the perfect companion for physics students and students of other science classes. Physics++ is a collection of physics formulas. The more than 120 formulas cover the topics mechanics, relativity, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and electrodynamics. In addition there is a small number of primitives and a section with often used units. Physics constants are also included. With the search function formulas can now be found even faster. Most formulas have a calculator attached to them. So you can easily calculate values in exercises. In future update the number of formulas and constants will be increased.

Read full description

NMR Tutor is an interactive introduction to NMR data acquisition and signal processing. Use simulated free induction decays (FIDs) and spectra to explore how time-domain NMR signals become frequency-domain spectra. Adjust peak positions, decay, noise, apodization, zero filling, phase behavior, and common acquisition artifacts, then see the effect immediately in the FID and final spectrum. The app displays real and imaginary FID channels before and after processing, together with the resulting spectrum after Fourier transformation. A live signal-to-noise (S/N) measurement updates as you adjust noise, scan averaging, apodization, FID artifacts, and shimming, making processing tradeoffs easy to compare. Apply zero filling to see how digital interpolation changes the appearance of the spectrum without adding new measured data. You can also introduce common receiver or acquisition faults into the FID and observe the artifacts that appear after processing. As an advanced example, add spin-spin coupling to create an AB coupling pattern, then move the peaks or change the coupling strength to compare AB behavior with an AX spin system. Charts retain every data point and support pan, zoom, phase-pivot dragging, graph audio, sharing and export, and external displays. Optimized Metal and Accelerate processing keeps high-resolution chart and shimming interactions responsive. Adaptive layouts and larger accessibility text make the workspace easier to use on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Open one-dimensional JEOL, Bruker and Varian FID datasets directly. Inspect the acquired real and imaginary channels, then apply apodization, zero filling, first-point scaling, and zero- and first-order phase correction to your own data.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: NMR Tutor at Free against Physics++'s $0.99. NMR Tutor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Physics++'s advantage is chart position (#200 vs unranked) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

NMR Tutor is free to download; Physics++ costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NMR Tutor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics++ has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Physics++ ships an update every 5 weeks, NMR Tutor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
