In mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, and is a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior. The motion of a double pendulum is governed by a set of coupled ordinary differential equations. For certain energies its motion is chaotic. This application solves these differential equations using the Runge-Kutta method for the time stepping. You can influence the movement of the pendulum by holding your device in different positions.

Verdict
Double Pendulum Simulation and gcc both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of gcc's written reviews are positive against 38% of Double Pendulum Simulation's. gcc also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 73 months). Double Pendulum Simulation's advantage is iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
