TinyOhms

TinyOhms opens straight onto a breadboard. Drop in a battery, a resistor and an LED, and the circuit runs the moment the loop closes. Current flows along the wires as moving chevrons, the LED glows brighter or dimmer with the real numbers, and if you push too much current through it, it pops. Nothing to install, nothing to solder, nothing to break. REAL PARTS, REAL MATH Every component behaves like the one in the drawer: resistors follow Ohm's law, LEDs have a forward voltage, transistors amplify, capacitors charge and drain, and the 555 timer ticks at the frequency its resistors and capacitor set. Under the hood is a full circuit solver (the same kind of nodal analysis SPICE uses), so the readouts are the ones you would measure with a meter. SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING โข Live current flow on every wire, with direction and strength โข Inspect mode: tap the eye to read every node voltage and branch current โข A built-in scope that traces voltages over time โ watch a capacitor charge, or a 555 output square wave โข Real sound: buzzers beep and piezo speakers play the pitch the circuit sets โข Room-light and temperature sliders to drive light sensors and thermistors โข Short-circuit and overload warnings before anything "burns" BUILT FOR LEARNING TinyOhms is made for teens and any complete beginner. There is no lesson to sit through: build, watch, change one thing, and see what happens. Twenty ready circuits take you from a single LED to a light-following night light, a blinking timer, a one-shot pulse, a pitch control you can hear, and a traffic-light sequencer built from a 555 and a 4017 counter.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TinyOhms at none against Strokesmith's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
