Read full description

Slopes is an interactive environment for exploring graphical solutions to ordinary differential equations. Slopes consists of six activities with preloaded examples to get you started and the ability to input your own content. "Slopefields" and “Phase Planes” both plot vector fields and solutions corresponding to multiple initial conditions. “Systems” dynamically solves systems of up to six equations. “Oscillations” solves second-order constant coefficient equations and animates the corresponding spring-mass system or RLC circuit. “Methods” constructs numerical approximations of a single ordinary differential equation using Euler’s method as well as Second and Fourth Order Runge-Kutta methods. "Bifurcations" creates a bifurcation diagram and shows the stability of equilibrium points. Slopes is a playground for ODEs. You can use it for homework, in-class activities or a new research project.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slopes at none against Quick Graph's 2. Slopes also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Quick Graph's advantage is ratings volume (423 vs 41). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Graph sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Slopes asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Slopes holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Graph has 423 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Quick Graph's written reviews are positive against 100% of Slopes's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Quick Graph ships an update every 5 months, Slopes every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
