EVcontrol is a Bluetooth Low Energy based app suitable for EVCO's controllers EV3 MVC & EVD MVC with built-in BLE, designed to make it simple to manage EVCO's MVC units from a smartphone or tablet. Fully protected by multiple-level passwords, your mobile device becomes a handy tool for adjusting the function mode (heating/cooling), temperature and humidity set-points, fan speed and timer settings. Any alarm events are displayed in real time and can be sent directly to your assistance centre. EVcontrol is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) or later versions.
Markov Algorithm
This tool emulates a Markov Machine, a string rewriting system used in computer science. It helps students test and debug algorithms with grammar-like rules and a step-by-step execution log.
- Markov Machine emulator
- String rewriting system
- Grammar-like rule application
- Step-by-step debugging
- Execution log

Students of computer science are probably familiar with Markov algorithm. A string rewriting system that uses grammar-like rules to operate on strings of symbols. This application is a great Markov Machine emulator which can help you test your algorithms and debug it step-by-step using convenient execution log.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EVcontrol at none against Markov Algorithm's 3. Markov Algorithm's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 90 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
