Circuitry is a hands-on logic game that makes Boolean algebra, logic gates, and digital circuits easier to understand. Build circuits by connecting AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and other gates, then experiment with different inputs to see how signals travel through your design. Work through 22 progressively challenging problems to unlock new components. Then use Playground Mode to create and test circuits of your own. Features: - 22 logic-circuit problems - Interactive circuit building and simulation - 36 different circuit components - Playground Mode for creating your own circuits

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Circuitry at Free against UW Notify's $6.99. UW Notify's advantage is update cadence (every 7 months vs every 46 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
