The Karnaugh map is a method to simplify Boolean algebra expressions. In a Karnaugh map the boolean variables are transferred (generally from a truth table) and ordered according to the principles of Gray code in which only one variable changes in between adjacent squares. Once the table is generated and the output possibilities are transcribed, the data is arranged into the largest possible groups containing 2n cells (n=0,1,2,3...) and the minterm is generated through the axiom laws of boolean algebra. We have designed this application primarily to support students studying electronic engineering, although it is useful in other disciplines including computer science and mathematics. Features: - Minimize logic function entered as text, Karnaugh map or truth table - Up to 8 variables - Contains History option - Supports the Don't care condition - Shows representation of each minimized component in the Karnaugh Map
Boolean Algebra
This app helps users understand and solve complex Boolean expressions. It allows for direct K-Map updates, truth table generation, and circuit diagram visualization. Users can interact with minimized circuits and learn about logic gates.
- Resolve complex Boolean expressions
- Update K-Map and derive minimized solutions
- Generate truth tables and corresponding circuits
- View and interact with minimized circuit diagrams
- Learn about logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, etc.)
- Dark Mode support

After enormous success in desktop for over a decade, the original "Boolean Algebra" app is here on iOS. What it does, well almost everything. - Resolve complex Boolean expressions. - Directly update K-Map and derive minimized solutions (all possible minimal solutions, not just one). - Update Truth table and generate minimized K-Map values, corresponding circuit, and lot more. - View and interact with minimized circuit. You can also switch between all the minimal solutions available. - Tapping on the variable name in the circuit will toggle its value, zero or one, and update the circuit accordingly. - You also have an option to view Sum of Products, Product of Sums, Min terms and Max terms. - Interactive section(s) to learn more about all the gates (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, XNOR, NAND and NOR) - Option to change variable order in K-Map - Dark Mode What is next? - Quick search for minimized solution. - Easy to verify answers with explanation (why it is wrong) - Option to generate circuits using universal gates - Adding "do not care" option - Support for more than four variables - Zoom in/out in circuit

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Karnaugh Map Advanced at 4.8 against Boolean Algebra's 4.0. Boolean Algebra's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Karnaugh Map Advanced holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boolean Algebra has 24 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Karnaugh Map Advanced's written reviews are positive against 64% of Boolean Algebra's.
Karnaugh Map Advanced ships an update every 9 months, Boolean Algebra every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
