What's New in isosceles

3.4

June 14, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. +Support for 3D touch, including home screen actions, Peek and Pop for sketches, and force-touch to select figures. +Smart Measurements and Smart Calculations are now easier to create; simply start an annotation, then choose either feature in the keyboard toolbar. +You can now crop your sketch before sharing it as a PDF or image. +Change the scale of the Cartesian grid between normal units and units of pi. +The Fill Region feature is now more robust and works with complex regions including conics, freehand annotations, and functions in addition to lines and circles. -Bug fixes. I hope you like Isosceles, and if you do please leave a review or rating on the App Store! I'll be heading off to MIT this fall, so I may not have as much time to work on my apps as I would like. But nevertheless, please reach out using the contact info in the app if there's anything you'd like to see added to Isosceles. I'd love to hear from you! Base 12 Innovations

Hmmm

I can’t seem to make an isosceles triangle, plz help

This software was developed by a 17 year old.

Yup, I can believe that.

Junk doesn’t not even let you write with a pen

This app is so bad! I do not recommend this for geometry. Bad, doesn’t even let you work with a pen.

Clashes when I try to close one sketch and create another

I need to delete this app then download again every time I close the sketch.

Constantly Crashes in iOS 9

When drawing circles from a central point they often just go away as soon as you let go. There are weird hollow points added near intersections of circles, and I tapped the arrow in the left corner and now every time I open the app it says "Upgrading files" then promptly crashes.
