Action Potentials vs QASM Studio
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Action Potentials
Explore the mechanics of action potentials in real-time. Adjust parameters and introduce various drugs to observe their impact on neuronal signaling. Choose between single event simulations or continuous manual current injections.
- Real-time action potential visualization
- Adjustable simulation parameters
- Drug effect simulation (lidocaine, tetrodotoxin, TEA)
- Single action potential mode
- Continuous manual current injection

In this app, you can see how action potentials work by watching the action potential as it happens and adjusting the parameters. You can add drugs such as lidocaine, tetrodotoxin, and TEA to observe the effects on the action potential. You have the option to see a single action potential with a preset current injection, or a continuous option where you can manually inject current to trigger an action potential.
QASM Studio

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Action Potentials at 13.0 against QASM Studio's 15.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
