This app uses numerous animations and test questions to explain high school level physics. It aims to give a sensory understanding of physics. It contains a lot of content, such as a list of formulas and explanations of the basics of mathematics. It consists of the following contents. 1. Topics --- The basic principles of physics are explained through animation. 2. Practical Explanation --- The behavior of cubes, springs, rigid bodies, etc. is displayed through animation. Detailed explanations, graphs, various values such as velocity and displacement, and formulas are displayed. 3. Test --- Simple test questions are given. If you have difficulty doing the math in your head, you can use notes to calculate. 4. Formula display --- Formulas can be displayed in a list. Simple explanations are also provided. Please try. This app will show ads, but if you buy it for about $ 5, the ads will not show. The price fluctuates in accordance with the exchange rate. *Currently, only mechanics is supported, but we plan to add more fields in the future. We also plan to add and change animations and tests. If you have any comments or find any errors, please let us know in the rating section. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Current main contents ・Mechanics --- Equation of motion, momentum, impulse, mechanical energy, work, dynamic friction, static friction, law of inertia, simple harmonic motion, simple pendulum, moment of force, center of gravity

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: A at Free against Mechanix's $2.99. A also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months). Mechanix's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
