Experience Controls gives you a learning experience unlike any other. Unlike a typical textbook, Experience Controls is designed to give you real design intuition and relevant skills in a hands-on way in the control systems engineering space. Interact with the sensors on your mobile device, alter parameters in real-time dynamic simulations, and even remotely connect to real hardware. FEATURES OVER 50+ LESSON MODULES - Introduction to Control - Integration - Modelling - Types of Systems - System Response - Stability - PID Control - Lead Lag - State Space - Control Schemes - Case studies, mini-lecture podcasts, and more REVIEW QUESTIONS - Chapter-specific reviews to see what you’ve learned and what you’ve missed ------------------------ Who Are We? Experience Controls was made by Quanser, the global leader in hardware, software and course resources that transform the way educators teach the theory, application, and implementation of controls, robotics, and mechatronics. Over the last 30 years, Quanser has built our reputation creating the best experiential learning material for control systems labs. The Experience Controls app leverages that legacy to improve the aspect of controls education most in need: the textbook. When combined with our hardware, Experience Controls and the support material offered is the best learning experience available for controls students. Over 2,500 universities and institutions rely on Quanser labs and solutions to help them attract, educate and graduate a new generation of engineering leaders. ----------------------- This app was created using qdex, the only fully-featured authoring and content management system for STEM education.

The ODESolverIntegrator is a simple but elegant app to find the integral of ODEs. You can solve (find the integral of) nonlinear ODEs. You can reduce the higher order ODE to a set of first order ODEs. You can solve (find the integral of) linear ODEs in the form of ẋ = Ax + Bu; y = Cx + Du. This app uses Runge-Kutta 4th order algorithm to solve the ODEs. Once the ODEs are solved, a beautiful interactive graph for each ODE's is created that you can share with other or save it locally. The reduced ODE's equations are presented beautifully in the math-equation format. You can compute definite integral (single, double, tripple). It uses the midpoint method. It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. This app also has a Study page to help you learn important integration rules like, power rule, product rule, ect. This app is perfect for students learning calculus. Sharpen you brain by using this app and learning about the calculus. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Experience Controls at none against ODE's shown. Experience Controls also leads on iOS requirement (11.3 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
