About

e

Explore the universe of spacetime by converting lengths into time and vice versa. This unique calculator uses geometrized units to help you think about the world in new ways and amuse your friends. It's a fun tool for science enthusiasts and students alike.

Highlights
  • Convert length to time
  • Convert time to length
  • Geometrized units (c=1)
  • Avoids scientific notation
  • Supports various input units
  • Educational and entertaining

Have you thought about how old you are - in meters? Or how tall you are - in seconds? Or how many miles it is until your next birthday? Let's think out of the box, relativistically. While spacetime intervals are constant, length and time can be converted to each other. This calculator makes use of geometrized units (where the speed of light is unity) and lets you convert conveniently between length and time. Is this a useful conversion tool in your day-to-day life? Probably not. But maybe it will let you think about the world a little differently. And amuse your friends and family at the same time! For a technical reference, refer to "Gravitation", by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler, 1973, W.H. Freeman and Company, pp. 35-36. To make things more accessible to the average user, we have tried to avoid displaying scientific notation in numbers as much as possible and, instead, make use of more common terms, such as "billions of miles" and "milliseconds". Now upgraded with the ability to choose different lengths and times for input (inches, hours, days, etc.)! keywords: science, physics, space, time, relativity, calculator ---------------- Reviews from around the world: from Fox Knight, US Love this app!! from highschool student, US Good job, there's a lot of potential here. . . from Turbo elf, US Science geek must buy from Letter Warrior, US I love this idea, especially seeing how far it is until tomorrow, or a friend's birthday. from Professor and wife, US A great application that can also be used by students ... really is a wonderful game.

Quick Graph is a powerful, high-quality graphing calculator for iPhone and iPad, in 2D and 3D. "The app you need to survive the next semester." -- Gizmodo Type an equation and see it right away, written in math notation and drawn in a graph you can move, zoom and rotate with your fingers. Explicit and implicit equations and inequalities, in cartesian, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, all fast and beautiful. What's inside: - 2D and 3D graphs with a clean, full-screen design. - 3D surfaces drawn with Metal: smooth shading, transparency, wireframe, and zoom that fills the screen. - Adaptive 2D drawing with exact roots and extrema and clean asymptotes. - Equation groups: show, hide and move several equations together, with a shared n. - Annotations with Apple Pencil or your finger on 2D graphs. - A math keyboard with functions, derivatives and more on each key. - Hyperbolic and inverse functions, min, max, if, derivatives. - Axes in decimals or multiples of π, and independent zoom on each 2D axis. - A library of example and saved equations, including groups. - Share as a link, image or text; copy and paste equations; drag them between windows. - Light or dark appearance, multiple windows on iPad, and support for iPhone Duo. Up to 6 equations can be shown at once in the free version. The Advanced Features, a single one-time purchase with no subscription, add: - More than 6 equations. - 2D and 3D implicit equations and inequalities. - The variable n with a slider, to animate your graphs. - 2D tracing with roots, extrema and intersections. - Value table. - External display support. - Decimal / π axes and polar range settings. No ads, no subscription. Please visit the website for more details.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: e at none against Quick Graph's 2. e also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). Quick Graph's advantage is ratings volume (423 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

e holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Graph has 423 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of e's written reviews are positive against 94% of Quick Graph's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

e ships an update every 11 months, Quick Graph every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
