Springs'nThings - Version 1.8 Both Physics and Fun Springs ‘n Things is an entertaining demonstration application and educational display for the iPhone/iPad. It simulates the dynamics of up to four springs connected to a moveable ball. Touch, drag and release the ball to see it bounce around. The length and stiffness of the springs can be individually adjusted. One of the springs can be transformed into a fixed spring or a pendulum. The ball can be made to respond to the tilting and shaking motions of the iPhone/iPad. The motion of the ball can be perpetual or it can be slowed by spring resistance by viscous damping as if it were moving in air or water. Bounces forever 0-4 springs Air, water or vacuum viscosity - upgrade to fully adjustable Turn gravity on or off - shake and tilt sensitive Real computer simulation accurate to 1% Upgrade to: ---- 10 springs ---- adjustable viscosity ---- adjustable mass and spring resistance Screen shots below: 1) 4 springs 2) a pendulum and a spring 3) modify mass/viscosity screen showing a pendulum 4) modify springs screen showing a fixed spring 5) full screen with a fixed spring and 3 additional springs

WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE PHYSICS PLAYGROUND! Step into a world where your imagination is the only limit. Physics! Fun is the ultimate ragdoll physics sandbox simulator where you can create, destroy, experiment, and unleash absolute chaos! Whether you want to test crazy inventions, smash custom vehicles, or drop massive nukes on unsuspecting ragdolls, this is your ultimate laboratory. UNLEASH PURE CHAOS Set off massive tactical explosions, trigger custom nukes, and watch the physics engine cause total mayhem. Splash beautiful neon liquids, mix toxic acids, and trigger volcanic pink lava. Want to bend reality? Turn on the Zero Gravity mode or invert the gravity slider to watch everything float and drift in space! BUILD & ANIMATE YOUR CREW Create your own custom characters using the advanced character editor! Choose from ninjas, robots, mummies, zombies, or Santas. Assemble custom limbs, change heads, and bring them to life. Animate your ragdolls or destroy them in the most satisfying ways possible! CRASH, SMASH & DRIVE Take control of monster trucks, sports cars, and heavy-duty vehicles. Drive them off massive ramps, smash them head-on into brick walls, or tether them to giant rockets. Watch realistically simulated crashes where ragdoll drivers get launched mid-air with true-to-life physics. ABSURD RAGDOLL ANIMALS Who said sandbox games are only for humans? Spawn realistic bears, crazy animals, and custom creatures. Tether them with ropes, attach them to industrial magnets, or launch them into orbit. The interactions are 100% unpredictable and hilariously dynamic. SATISFYING LIQUIDS & FLUID DYNAMICS Experience highly advanced fluid simulation! Mix green slime, pink jelly, honey, and deadly acid inside glass tanks. Pump liquids around, watch them splash, overflow, and react realistically with ragdolls and obstacles. INFINITE TOOLS & 250+ OBJECTS Never run out of ideas! Explore a massive, ever-growing warehouse packed with over 250 unique objects. From landmines, C4s, and machine guns to chains, gravity modifiers, and community garage mods—you have a complete toolbox at your disposal. PLAY ANYWHERE - NO WI-FI REQUIRED! No internet? No problem!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Physics! Fun at 100% against Springs'nThingsLite's 60%. Physics! Fun also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Springs'nThingsLite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Springs'nThingsLite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Physics! Fun sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Springs'nThingsLite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics! Fun has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Springs'nThingsLite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Physics! Fun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Springs'nThingsLite ships an update every 38 months, Physics! Fun every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
