PocketDIC is an app that measures deformation and strain fields using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) with your smartphone camera. Features: - Capture reference and deformed images using the built-in camera - Automatically compute displacement and strain fields using DIC algorithm - Visualize εxx, εyy, εxy, U, and V components as color maps - Save analysis results as PNG images How to use: 1. Capture a reference image 2. Capture deformed images at intervals 3. Tap the DIC button to analyze automatically 4. Review and save the strain map Suitable for education and research in materials science and solid mechanics.

FlowNet draws the flow net and solves confined seepage under dams and sheet piles. Enter the geometry and read the discharge, pore pressure, uplift, exit gradient and factor of safety in seconds. • Six structures from one geometry: sheet pile, surface dam, embedded dam, cut-off, heel, and the general case • Tap anywhere to read pore pressure and hydraulic gradient • Uplift and exit-gradient profile with Harza's factor of safety • Anisotropic soil (r = kₓ/k_z), real and transformed views • Pinch to zoom, export PNG or CSV • Works offline

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: PocketDIC at 13.0 against FlowNet's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
