Action Potentials vs Quantum Route Finder
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.
Quantum Route Finder

Quantum Route Finder lets you run real quantum circuits on IBM's quantum computers directly from your iPhone — no simulator, no shortcuts. Your device builds the circuit, submits it to a 156-qubit IBM Quantum processor (Heron r2 generation), and visualizes the measurement results in real time. How it works The app uses a hybrid architecture: your iPhone acts as the controller, constructing OpenQASM circuits and sending them to IBM Quantum Cloud via the REST API. Quantum computation happens on the actual QPU hardware at IBM Research facilities. Everything else — UI, circuit building, result visualization — runs entirely on your device. IBM Quantum account required This app requires a free IBM Quantum account at quantum.cloud.ibm.com. The free Open Plan includes 10 minutes of QPU time per month. This limit is enforced by IBM, not this app. Once your monthly quota is used, jobs will be queued or rejected until the next month. No IBM affiliation — you must create and manage your own account. What you need IBM Cloud API key (free, from quantum.cloud.ibm.com) Instance CRN (from your IBM Quantum dashboard) Available backends ibm_kingston, ibm_fez, ibm_marrakesh (156-qubit Heron r2 processor

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Action Potentials at 13.0 against Quantum Route Finder's 26.2. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
