In this laboratory you will have a bottle with deionized water, a bottle with iron (II) nitrate, a bottle with potassium thiocyanate, a bottle with sodium hydroxide, two test tubes, a rack and four pipettors. The objective of the practice is to determine the amount of sodium hydroxide that can reduce the initially produced concentration of iron nitrate, potassium thiocyanate and water, in addition to finding the equilibrium constant of the reaction.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CloudLabs Ions Equilibrium at 3.0 against goREACT's 2.2. goREACT's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (96 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
CloudLabs Ions Equilibrium holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: goREACT has 96 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
goREACT ships an update every 4 months, CloudLabs Ions Equilibrium every 29 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
