### 3/5 — Great app

*2017-06-27, version 2.7.9*

This is a great app, but the developers have not updated it for over a yr now. Please try and get it to work with the Apple Pencil. Things like palm recognition among others.
Otherwise really helps me do a lot of my analysis on dental X-rays. However, I would really have loved it if it worked with the pencil.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2016-07-31, version 2.7.9*

The features it offers for free are decent, but you have to pay almost $7 to get any useful ones. I downloaded geogebra instead and it's much better.

### 2/5 — Great when it worked.

*2015-09-25, version 2.7.3*

Warning, when using iOS 9 this app does not work. I recently upgraded to iOS 9 and now all this app does is try to open and then crash.

### 3/5 — 😰

*2015-09-18, version 2.7.3*

Doesn't work for iOS update 9

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2015-09-18, version 2.7.3*

I did the software update and geometry pad isn't working it keeps on crashing! Please fix

### 4/5 — Good app

*2015-07-09, version 2.7.3*

Much better than other CADD apps for working out cabinetry details and such. However it seems to still be spotty in actual use. Sometimes the metrics will give the area of a freely shaped polygon and sometimes it won't. I can't get an area when the shape has been drawn over a map. I have to go to another app which has no problems with google maps. Over all this app works like a logical person would expect.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2015-03-29, version 2.7.3*

Everything is for purchase only

### 3/5 — Good start, just needs some more work

*2015-01-07, version 2.7.2*

It's a good start, but I would like more points and the numbers to count by 1, so changing the number count would be nice.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2014-12-01, version 2.7.2*

The app glitches out and is not accurate. It can not show segments accurately. The interface is to hard to use with segments.

### 1/5 — Not very functional

*2014-09-07, version 2.7.2*

Installed to get golden ratio. This shows up on a pop up toolbar, but does not work.
Previous review was one target. Minimal function, goal is to get you to purchase "enhancements".
Uninstalling ASAP!

### 1/5 — This app stinks

*2014-08-27, version 2.7.2*

Don't waste you time, once you download no features are available without a 10$ upgrade and the upgrade stinks!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-05-03, version 2.6.1*

The program, crashes constantly. After one hour work I cannot draw at all anymore. This program is full of bugs and not mature yet. Useless.

### 1/5 — Crash :(

*2014-04-28, version 2.6.1*

Used to work. Now crashes on startup. 
iPad 3.

### 1/5 — CONFUSED

*2014-04-25, version 2.6.0*

i dont know if it is just me but this app is very confusing.?! so i typed my notes and did the drawing examples for my geometry class in the app and when i went to the previous section that i had saved as another folder it took me to the things that i typed today and my other things have been deleted. HELP.

### 4/5 — Review

*2014-04-09, version 2.5.0*

This is the best geometry drawing app I have used. The only problem is that when I make line segments it will not put the endpoints in the spot I tap. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Wasting my time

*2024-04-11, version 2.12.7*

Half of the things there are, you have to buy for 6.99. Who in their right mind is gonna buy that when you can download something else and get EVERYTHING for FREE

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-02-13, version 2.12.3*

Very very good app. But something is missing. I think you should make the paid app free.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2021-04-24, version 2.10.0*

This is really a waste of time. I wanted to try a few thing, but every time I get a message saying “This is part of the premium version”...

### 1/5 — Not very useful

*2020-10-19, version 2.9.2*

Poor guides, poor tools, doesn’t hold positions on page, not useful for much at all.

### 1/5 — This is a joke

*2019-08-27, version 2.7.12*

The free version is a joke, there is not way to test the app because all functions are lock y must pay at the end in order to test the function you want. There are better apps for this purpose. Sorry folks, if you want the public test your program, you must release acceptable tools in order to get a better rate.

### 1/5 — Unlimited potential

*2019-07-31, version 2.7.12*

If you have a BIG budget to purchase all the add one then you will enjoy spending your money on all the extras.
You cannot do much with the free version except dream about what you would do.

### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2019-04-03, version 2.7.12*

Bad experience using this app. I wanted to see how the tools work, but whatever you click on it the app says “this is premium future, give me your money”, “this is premium future, give me your money”.  I’m so mad that I downloaded this app. Goodbye

### 1/5 — Worst

*2018-07-29, version 2.7.10*

Hands down the worst app I have ever used

### 1/5 — Zero functionality

*2016-02-21, version 2.7.9*

Save yourself some time and move on. You can't even draw a basic line without paying.

### 1/5 — Ripp off

*2016-01-24, version 2.7.9*

Total rip off doesn't import images  at all .

### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use and very intuitive - cost effective

*2019-06-06, version 2.7.12*

I bough this app yesterday to help create a key diagram for my blog on Fibonacci series. I was able to use it to generate the old graphical method for finding the Golden Section within minutes of opening the app on my iPad.
I don’t understand some of the negative comments from early reviewers? I think this is a great app and look forward to it supporting my writing and illustrating in other maths-related work.

### 5/5 — Math Teacher

*2019-03-10, version 2.7.12*

Great app. Missing an angle bisector tool! Please create this tool.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2016-09-30, version 2.7.9*

Very useful and simple drawing app with a variety of functions, for creating shapes and measuring angles and distances. I use it all the time to design stencils for paper polyhedra.

### 5/5 — Easy to learn

*2015-01-13, version 2.7.2*

This is a good drawing app. I scrapped two other cad programs that seemed to be more sophisticated when I bought them. 
Im glad I paid for this one.
I figured it out in one evening and feel comfy with the interface. 
Simple yet powerful.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-09-04, version 2.7.2*

I just downloaded it a few minutes ago and so far it's pretty good. I'm using it for geometry to find simple things but it works perfectly for that. If you need graph paper then get this. If you need to mark a point on the graph just look at the options (at the bottom of the screen) until you see a little line next to the shapes and click it. It'll bring up an option titled "point"

### 5/5 — Really very well done

*2014-02-13, version 2.4.7*

I am using geometry pad to teach an adult course in geometric constructions as used in the construction of gothic architecture and tiling patterns as developed by the Islamic world. The more I've used it the more impressed I've become. It's a delight to use! The compass tool is particularly clever. Geometric constructions were what first deeply attracted me to mathematics and even played a role in my doctoral thesis. I can see how this app could similarly inspire students. It should be in every secondary math classroom.

### 5/5 — Still the best dynamic geometry app

*2013-11-02, version 2.4.5*

So many features and regular updates. Gets better all the time. A must for any high school geometry class.

### 5/5 — HHS

*2013-10-23, version 2.4.5*

Shout out to Hoover High School!!

### 5/5 — Lana

*2013-10-16, version 2.4.5*

I have it for my school!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2013-07-20, version 2.0.1*

As a classroom teacher, I have used GeoGebra and Geometers Sketchpad for many years and prayed that they would come to iPad. For $7 this app is totally worth the money.  In just a few minutes of playing with it, it shows itself to be very intuitive, rich, and powerful...it will definitely be an asset to the geometry portions of my curriculum. I recommend it highly.
