Ok but...
Great and visually appealing but need to be able to calculate area, perimeter, etc. for more than just the rectangles and circles. Should be able to do it for triangles created but line segments and other irregular shapes. It is understandable that the free apps do not have this but not a paid app.
Would be nice to have a larger Geoboard available as well (ex: 10 x 15 pegs)

Cool idea, but no activities
This app is a good idea for students to work with shapes. My favorite feature is the box in the bottom right that shows side length measurements and area. Also, student can work with circles on the GeoBoard, which they can't make on real GeoBoards. The only thing is that this app fails to provide any activities or lesson along with the GeoBoard. Teachers could come up with some good lessons, but they could do that with a normal GeoBoard. I could see students playing around with it even more than they would a normal GeoBoard without thinking about content.

Great visual
I like that you can see the area and perimeter calculated on the page. I will let one student use the iPad connected to the projector while the others have actual geoboards to work on. They can come recreate their shape on the iPad. This app has a teacher guide and great web support.
