CosmoSlider vs GravyLensing
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side โ with what reviewers say about each.
CosmoSlider
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app allows you to visualise and update cosmological spectra (such as the Cosmic Microwave Background power spectrum) in real-time using neural network emulation and the framework CONNECT. Simply use the sliders to change the spectra and develop your intuition for the cosmological observables. Create your own models using the CONNECT framework, import them into the app and send them to your friends!
GravyLensing
Read full descriptionHide full description
GravyLensing brings gravitational lensing, the cosmic phenomenon where space-time bends around massive objects, into your hands. ESA's Euclid mission is mapping this effect across billions of galaxies to reveal the dark universe. Now you can explore that same physics yourself. Point your camera anywhere and watch space-time bend like light passing through a galaxy cluster. Built on the same Singular Isothermal Ellipsoid (SIE) models astronomers use, every lens is a real galaxy cluster observed by Hubble, JWST, and Euclid, faithfully recreated on your device. Features โข Apply scientifically accurate gravitational lensing to your live camera feed, photos, or videos โข Browse a gallery of real galaxy clusters, each with their own unique lensing signature โข Touch and drag to position the lens exactly where you want it โข Adjust distance to sweep from subtle warping to extreme Einstein rings โข Record warped video or capture still images and save them to your photo library Inspired by ESA's Euclid mission to map the dark universe, GravyLensing puts the physics of warped spacetime in your pocket. No ads. No data collection. Just physics.

Verdict
CosmoSlider and GravyLensing are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
