Vectors and Planes App helps visualize and understand 3D linear and quadric structures and their intersections. List of linear structures and combinations: 1. Two vector combination. 2. Plane. 3. Line and plane combination. 4. Two plane combination. 5. Three plane combination. Current list of quadric structures: 1. Two sphere combination. 2. Standard ellipsoid. 3. Ellipsoid in a form of positive-definite matrix. 4. Standard cone. 5. Cone in a form of indefinite matrix. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid. 7. 1-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 8. 2-sheet hyperboloid. 9. 2-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 10. Standard cylinder. 11. Cylinder in a form of positive-semidefinite matrix. 12. Hyperbolic paraboloid. 13. Elliptic paraboloid. Current list of combinations of quadric and linear structures: 1. Matrix ellipsoid and line. 2. Standard ellipsoid and plane. 3. Matrix ellipsoid and plane. 4. Matrix cone and line. 5. Standard cone and plane. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 7. 2-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 8. Matrix cylinder and line. 9. Elliptic paraboloid and line. 10. Hyperbolic paraboloid and line. Interactive 3D graphs are provided for all of the above. Step by step calculation algorithms are provided for all intersection point sets. Many of the algorithms are based on Linear Algebra concepts. Those, in turn, are explained in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Version 10 was completely redesigned. Developers hope to get feedback from users at graphmath@aol.com.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Vectors and Planes at every 4 days against Vector Field's every 3 months. Vectors and Planes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%). Vector Field's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vector Field holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Vector Field's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vectors and Planes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vector Field ships an update every 3 months, Vectors and Planes every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
