Chartistic has been featured in the App Store in 43 countries, already! It has also been listed in App Store’s ten best Apps of the year in Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam! ----------------------- Two ingredients to a great presentation. A powerful storyline, and the data to back it up. Good stories can sell themselves, but data needs visual support! Most presentations tumble down into the pit of forgettable mediocrity simply because they lack visually appealing data-centric charts. Also, there aren't many easy-to-use tools for your mobile device that strip away the drudgery of creating charts. Precisely why we built Chartistic! Chartistic comes with an assortment of interactive bar charts, line charts, area charts, (sweet as) pie charts that are both great to look at and fun to create. Our unique clipart-powered data visualizer is a show-stealer, sure to drive your points home! Create and edit them all on the go. And export as images and embed in presentations, emails, documents, spreadsheets, even in your next tweet!

This app quickly creates graphs from simple input. Works with line, bar, and pie charts. We've also implemented a new combo chart with lines and bars. Combining a monthly bar chart with a cumulative line chart for each month makes the information much easier to understand. It's a bit quirky as it instantly draws graphs from input data. Please check the summary below. ・Data Values No strict input limits, but for a neat layout, keep characters short. Adjust units to shorten characters (e.g., [Unit: 1,000 yen]). ・Data Labels: Adjusted for the longest notation '20231101.' To minimize data label characters, use '23/11/01' or '11/1' as labels, and include '2023-' in the title. Labels with 3 or fewer characters display horizontally. ・Pie Charts If input totals 100, it's % distribution on the chart. If not, it auto-calculates percentages. Charts created with this app can be used freely for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.

Verdict

The call

Chartistic also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Graph Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months).
