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!
