Little Bugs vs PhysicsBench

Learn to be a scientist with this easy to use fieldwork app! Develop your curiosity and research skills while you explore the natural world. Designed for preliterate kids using voice recognition and older kids too. Offline use only. All data stays on your device.

Solve real physics, not fake wiring puzzles. PhysicsBench simulates actual circuits, light paths and torque — then shows you the formula behind your solution. Wire a battery, close a switch, watch current flow and a bulb light up. Bounce a beam off mirrors into the target. Balance a lever with the right weights. Every level ends with a Principle Card: the law, the formula, and your level's real numbers substituted in. MAIN FEATURES • 108 levels across seven subjects: Circuits, Optics, Mechanics, Dynamics, Electromagnetism, Heat & Fluids, Waves & Sound • Three difficulties per subject: Intro, Core, Brainer • True simulation — nodal analysis for DC circuits with diodes and capacitors, ray tracing for light, torque balance, and closed-form models for motion, induction, heat and sound • Principle Card after every solve, with your own values • Daily experiment with streaks • Courses by topic, a review queue for levels you needed hints on, and a mastery radar • Unlimited hints, never a consumable • Import and play levels friends share as a code or .physlab file • AR experiment bench: pendulum, ramp, projectile, collision and buoyancy run in 3D with the engine's real numbers; rotate, zoom, tune them and place them on your desk in AR • Open supported dynamics results in 3D with the level’s settings. Capture a frame and share an experiment card. Pro unlocks spoken derivations and tuning and AR for the four new scenes. • Home-screen widget, Apple Pencil notes and bench recording • Works fully offline. No ads, no accounts, no tracking PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE • All 108 levels, including every Brainer level • Full step-by-step derivation on every Principle Card • Frame-by-frame replay with velocity and force arrows, and a draggable RC charging curve • Free Bench lab: sliders for every model, plus building, naming and saving experiments • Level editor that proves your puzzle is solvable before you share it • Full probe panel: per-branch voltage, current and power; every beam path; torque breakdown • Four extra themes and three alternate app icons • Future local Pro levels in this app ANSWER REPORTS — OPTIONAL Pro includes every answer and all Pro features. One-time purchase. No subscription. Three sample answers per category are free to view again. Unlock Pro for all remaining answers. Existing answer-pack purchases can still be restored for their original difficulty. PRIVACY Everything runs on your device. Progress syncs through your own private iCloud. No account, no analytics SDK, no data sent to us. NOTE Levels use teaching-simplified models (ideal wires, batteries with internal resistance, single-colour rays). The in-app "About the model" page lists every assumption. Support · Privacy Policy · Terms of Use are in Settings.
