BUTURAKU

Features
Read full description

BUTURAKU is a physics simulation app that lets you explore physical phenomena through real-time animations. Understand physics laws intuitively with beautiful visuals. Freely adjust parameters with sliders and observe how physical phenomena change in real time. 14 Simulations: > Translational motion - Free Fall: Observe the effects of gravity and air resistance. Tap to add balls, swipe to throw them. - Projectile: Adjust launch angle, initial speed, and air resistance to observe parabolic motion. - Inclined Plane: Motion on a surface with friction. Experience sliding conditions by changing angle and friction coefficient. - Brachistochrone: Race three balls down line, arc, and cycloid tracks under gravity. Bernoulli's classic 1696 problem - the cycloid wins. - Rolling Race: A box, a sphere, a cylinder and a ring race down the same slope. Their moment of inertia decides the order - mass and size do not. See how kinetic energy splits between translation and rotation. - Energy Conservation: A ball rolls along a roller-coaster track while kinetic and potential energy swap places. Turn on friction to see mechanical energy dissipate into heat. - Collision: 2D collisions based on conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. Momentum vector display available. > Oscillation and periodic motion - Pendulum: Nonlinear pendulum with high-precision RK4 integration. Drag to set the angle. - Double Pendulum: Coupled pendulums producing chaotic motion. Lagrangian mechanics + RK4. - Coupled Pendulum: Two pendulums joined by a spring exchange energy periodically - the classic beat phenomenon. - Spring: Simple harmonic motion with Hooke's law. Adjust spring constant, damping, and mass. - Circular Motion: Uniform circular motion with centripetal force visualization (F = mω²r). Adjust radius, angular velocity, and mass. - Planetary Orbit: A planet circles a star under universal gravitation. Change the launch speed for circular, elliptical or escape orbits. Color-coded sectors show Kepler's second law - equal areas in equal times. Tap to place the planet anywhere. > Waves - Wave: Tap to place wave sources and observe interference patterns. 2D wave equation solved numerically with finite differences. Features: - Real-time physics simulation - Intuitive touch controls - Freely adjustable parameters via sliders - Physics explanations for each simulation - Dark / Light theme support - Available in 74 languages

About

Origami Learn

Features
Read full description

Origami Learn is a folding simulator, not a picture book. Every one of the 959 steps in this app is real geometry. The paper on screen is a simulated sheet with layers and creases, so you can drag a fold half-way and hold it there, turn the sheet over to see which flap moves, and replay the same crease as many times as you like. Nothing here is a photograph or a video. That is why it can unstick you when a diagram in a book cannot. 148 MODELS, 122 FREE FOREVER 116 origami models, 9 modular pieces built from folded units, and 23 kirigami designs you fold and cut. Cranes, boxes, flowers, animals, insects, stars, snowflakes, and the traditional children's furniture set. Each one is a genuine traditional design, with the region it came from and the paper it wants. A COURSE, NOT A CATALOGUE Nine chapters take you from "what is a valley fold" to bird bases, reverse folds, modular units and open-and-pull. Twelve lessons and seven practice sets, each unlocking the models that use what you just learned. Search the whole path, switch to a chapter grid, or ask for just the next thing in each chapter. LEARN TO READ ORIGAMI BOOKS Beside the live paper, every step is also drawn the way an origami book draws it: the standard symbols, dashed valley and dash-dot mountain creases, and fold arrows anchored to the corner that actually travels. Learn these and the rest of origami literature opens up. BRING IT TO LIFE Finish a model and decorate it. Thirty-six vector stickers — eyes, mouths, whiskers, leaves, stars — in any colour, plus freehand drawing. Print it, share it as a picture, or keep it in your gallery. Twenty models can be set moving and saved as a looping GIF: the flapping bird flaps, the frog jumps, the tulip opens. FOLD WITH YOUR HANDS FULL Say "next", "back" or "again". Speech is recognised entirely on your device and no audio ever leaves it. Or let the app read each step aloud while you keep both hands on the paper. IPHONE, IPAD, MAC AND APPLE WATCH One purchase covers all four. On Apple Watch the Digital Crown becomes a fold scrubber: rotate to close the crease, feel a tap when it lands, and the step moves on by itself. Add a complication and the watch face puts you back at the step you left. Progress follows you between wrist, phone, tablet and desk. MAKE IT YOUR PAPER Choose the colour of both sides of the sheet, per model or everywhere, including a colour-blind-safe pair told apart by lightness rather than hue. Print true-size squares and grids from Paper Tools. Design your own snowflake in Snowflake Studio and watch the cuts mirror around the wedge. BUILT TO BE READ Full VoiceOver in the player, Dynamic Type throughout, Reduce Motion that swaps animation for clear before-and-after states, AA contrast, and Kids Mode that hides anything needing scissors. FIVE LANGUAGES, COMPLETELY English, Tiếng Việt, 日本語, Español and 简体中文 — not only the buttons, but every model name, every step instruction, every tip, lesson and glossary entry. Switch language in Settings and the whole app reloads in it. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to collect. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs. Your progress and your photographs stay on your device, and the whole library works offline.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BUTURAKU at none against Origami Learn's 4. BUTURAKU also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Origami Learn's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
