Mininigma is a complete simulator of an Enigma Machine for your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. Basically, Enigma was a cipher machine used by the Germans during World War II for the encryption and decryption of secret messages. It looked like an old typewriter with some extra features. Being fully compatible with the real Enigma means you can also use Mininigma to decode any of the original messages which can be found on Internet. You can also generate a machine configuration based on a keyword or keyphrase. That means you'll only have to share that keyword to send a message!! Mininigma can accurately simulate different types of machines: The Enigma I, M3 and M4, Railway, G-312, or Swiss-K, with some others coming in the future. You can read more about these, as always, on the Wikipedia :) You can actually select between the different machine types and setup them as you would with a real one: choose rotors, configure them, or use a plugboard to switch letters. All at the tip of your finger. Mininigma supports Copy/Paste to allow you to interact with any other application on your device. You can even copy/paste machine configurations in an encryptable string!!

WeChores makes sharing chores simple and fair. Set up a space for your home, invite the people you live with, and always know what's due, whose turn it is and who did what. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE Home shows what's overdue, what's due today and what's coming up. Check this week's progress, your streak and how often chores get done on time, all on one screen. SPACES FOR EVERYONE YOU SHARE WITH Create a shared space for your home, family or roommates and invite others with a 6-character code. Join as many spaces as you like and switch between them in a tap. Your Personal space keeps chores that are just yours private. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING Make a chore one-time, daily, weekly, monthly or any custom interval, at the time you choose. See the next due dates before you save. When you finish a chore, keep it on its original schedule or count the next one from when you actually did it. TAKE TURNS, AUTOMATICALLY Assign a chore to one person, leave it open to anyone, or let everyone take turns. With turns on, the chore passes to the next person each time it's done. DONE IN A TAP Swipe to mark a chore done, or skip it this time. Record who did it and when, even if it was earlier today. Made a mistake? Undo it, or delete the entry later. ORGANIZED YOUR WAY Start with Kitchen, Bathroom and General, or create your own categories with custom icons and colors. Search, sort and filter to find any chore fast. SEE WHO DID WHAT Activity keeps a full history of every chore done or skipped, grouped by day. Each chore has its own history, with how often it was done, skipped and done on time. ANALYTICS THAT KEEP IT FAIR See each week, month or year compared to the one before, or look back over all time. Find out who did what share of the work, assigned vs done, which chores get done on time and which keep slipping, and how busy the week ahead looks. Filter by person to see anyone's stats. WIDGETS AND CONTROL CENTER Keep chores on your Home Screen and Lock Screen with My Day, Next Chore, My Day List and This Week widgets. Mark chores done right from a widget, and add a new chore from Control Center. REMINDERS Get reminded when chores are due, even when the app is closed. MAKE IT YOURS Pick a color and an animal avatar for your profile, and choose from five app icons, each with light, dark and tinted versions. Works on iPhone and iPad. EASY TO MANAGE Admins can invite and remove members or hand admin over to someone else. Leave a space whenever you like. PRIVACY FIRST Sign in with Apple. No ads. No tracking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: WeChores at Free against Mininigma's $1.99. WeChores also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months). Mininigma's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
