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 αΊ‹ = 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!

Read full description

Time Dilation Explorer Lab turns special relativity into an interactive space-science lab. Slide toward the speed of light and watch time change in real time. Compare Earth time with traveler time, explore the light-clock thought experiment, send a virtual ship toward nearby stars, and learn why Einstein's ideas matter in real science and technology. Designed for curious learners, students, teachers, and space fans, the app explains time dilation, length contraction, the twin paradox, light speed, GPS corrections, and near-light-speed travel through visual simulations and short lessons. Key features: - Interactive time dilation simulator with Earth and traveler clocks - Speed vs Time graph for comparing journeys across cosmic distances - Light Clock demo showing why moving clocks tick slower - Twin Paradox visualization with Earth twin and traveler twin timelines - Length Contraction lab for seeing fast-moving objects shrink along motion - Cosmic Journey mode with destinations from the Moon to Andromeda - Bite-sized relativity lessons with examples, takeaways, and fun facts - Quiz mode with categories, best scores, streaks, and hints - Progress dashboard with lesson completion, quiz progress, and badges - Daily relativity facts and achievement rewards The free version includes core simulations, starter lessons, quizzes, and selected destinations. A one-time Premium unlock removes ads and opens advanced lessons, full-speed controls, expanded quiz content, extra destinations, and additional interactive tools. Whether you are reviewing physics for school, introducing relativity in a classroom, or simply wondering what a near-light-speed journey would feel like, Time Dilation Explorer Lab helps make spacetime visible.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ODE at none against Time Dilation Explorer Lab's 1. ODE also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
