Turn your screen into a little fluid playground. Tap to create water particles and watch them gather, flow, splash, and bounce through a touch-responsive physics simulation. POUR, WATCH, EXPERIMENT Start with the basic water simulation and 50 particles. Touch the screen to add a stream, watch how particles interact, and clear the scene when you want to begin again. Haptic feedback and an FPS readout add another layer to the experience. CHANGE THE WAY LIQUID MOVES An optional Pro subscription unlocks gyroscope gravity controls, additional fluid presets, and physics customization. Try water, honey, oil, mercury, or lava-inspired settings, then adjust available color, viscosity, surface tension, bounce, and particle-size controls. • Tilt your device to change gravity with Pro • Compare the feel of thick and thin simulated liquids • Try different particle colors and sizes • Change the physics and observe the result • Use the sandbox at your own pace, without scores or deadlines FREE AND PRO Basic water and the 50-particle tier are free to try. Pro removes the free-tier particle cap and unlocks the listed customization features; practical performance still depends on your device and simulation settings. Plans and local pricing appear before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple account settings. A sensory toy for curious hands and a quiet pause. The named presets are simulated particle behaviors, not actual liquids or a laboratory measurement tool. No claim is made to diagnose or treat ADHD, anxiety, or any other condition.

Yonder is a phone game with ballistics validated against Doppler radar. You range a target through a precision reticle, build the firing solution, dial or hold your elevation, read the wind, and send it. Then you watch the trace and see exactly where the round went. The whole game is the first-round hit. No sighters. No walking it in. Just the cold bore shot, as many times as you want, anywhere, in any conditions you choose. DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. BRING YOUR DATA. Yonder runs a Modified Point-Mass solver with G7 drag, real atmospheric modeling, spin drift, Coriolis, and aerodynamic jump. It is validated against Hornady's 4DOF Doppler model to within 0.02 mil on multiple match loads out to 1,100 yards. At 1,000 yards that is under three-quarters of an inch. Check it against your own DOPE book, line by line. If our numbers don't match the ones you have for your rifle, we want to hear about it. COLD BORE, THE DAILY One shot. Everyone gets the same one. No second tries. Hit it, keep your streak, and see where you landed against everyone else who took it today. THE SKILLS • Range unknown-distance targets off the reticle, then dial or hold the come-up. • Read the crosswind and hold or dial your windage. • Keep the rifle level with the on-screen bubble (it reads your phone's tilt). • Every skill has its own switch (wind, cant, advanced drift), so you can isolate the exact thing you want to drill. THE GEAR • Scope bodies from a 1-10x LPVO to a 5-45x, with true first-focal-plane zoom. • A reticle library built from published subtensions: mil-dot, tree grids, fine mil rulers, chevron BDCs, and a clean hunting duplex. • A full cartridge and load library with DOPE cards, plus in-app BC truing for your exact handload. MORE WAYS TO SHOOT • Know-Your-Limits, Texas Star, PRS Skills, and Speed Steel stages. • Hunting scenarios on big-country habitat backdrops. • Hostage and no-shoot discipline targets. • DOPE-from-memory, wind-call, and max-point-blank-range fundamentals drills. • Shot-clock pressure with per-scenario stats. • Head-to-head pass-and-play on a single device. THE ACADEMY Takes you from "what is a mil" to reading a DOPE card and calling wind. Dozens of lessons across eight units, with graded gates and a final capstone shot. No account required. FREE AND PRO The core loop is free: practice, fundamentals drills, the daily, and Academy foundations. Yonder Pro unlocks the full scope, reticle, and cartridge library, every drill and stage, and custom loads. Yonder Pro is offered as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime unlock. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY No ads and no account. Your profiles, scores, and progress live on your device, and the trainer runs fully offline. The daily board uses an anonymous handle. Usage stats are anonymous and are never linked to you, tracked across apps, or sold. IMPORTANT Yonder is a training and entertainment simulator. It is not a firing solution for live fire. Always verify real-world data against your own equipment, conditions, and a qualified source.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Yonder at 100% against Water Simulator's 0%. Yonder also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and device support (3 vs 1). Water Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, 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. Water Simulator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per 7 days and Yonder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Yonder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Water Simulator's written reviews are positive against 100% of Yonder's.
Water Simulator ships an update every 5 days, Yonder every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 9, 2026.
