Quick Graph is a powerful, high-quality graphing calculator for iPhone and iPad, in 2D and 3D. "The app you need to survive the next semester." -- Gizmodo Type an equation and see it right away, written in math notation and drawn in a graph you can move, zoom and rotate with your fingers. Explicit and implicit equations and inequalities, in cartesian, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, all fast and beautiful. What's inside: - 2D and 3D graphs with a clean, full-screen design. - 3D surfaces drawn with Metal: smooth shading, transparency, wireframe, and zoom that fills the screen. - Adaptive 2D drawing with exact roots and extrema and clean asymptotes. - Equation groups: show, hide and move several equations together, with a shared n. - Annotations with Apple Pencil or your finger on 2D graphs. - A math keyboard with functions, derivatives and more on each key. - Hyperbolic and inverse functions, min, max, if, derivatives. - Axes in decimals or multiples of π, and independent zoom on each 2D axis. - A library of example and saved equations, including groups. - Share as a link, image or text; copy and paste equations; drag them between windows. - Light or dark appearance, multiple windows on iPad, and support for iPhone Duo. Up to 6 equations can be shown at once in the free version. The Advanced Features, a single one-time purchase with no subscription, add: - More than 6 equations. - 2D and 3D implicit equations and inequalities. - The variable n with a slider, to animate your graphs. - 2D tracing with roots, extrema and intersections. - Value table. - External display support. - Decimal / π axes and polar range settings. No ads, no subscription. Please visit the website for more details.

Geometry Pad turns your iPad into an infinite canvas for exact plane geometry. Build points, lines, triangles, polygons, circles and conics with a few taps, and they stay exact: a square stays a square, a parallel stays parallel, and an intersection point stays on its crossing however you move things around. Free to download, with every construction tool included. Unlock Premium with an in-app purchase for even more. CONSTRUCTIONS THAT STAY CONNECTED • Parallel and perpendicular lines, perpendicular bisectors, tangents, chords and intersection points follow their shapes as you drag them. • Altitudes, medians and angle bisectors of triangles and polygons update as the shape changes. • Right, isosceles and equilateral triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombi and regular polygons keep their kind when you edit them. PRECISION BY TOUCH • Points snap to the grid, to vertices, midpoints, sides and curves, and to the crossings of shapes. • A magnifying glass shows exactly where each point lands. • Type exact coordinates, lengths, radii and angles with the built-in calculator (Premium). LIVE MEASUREMENTS • Every shape shows its lengths, angles, slopes, equations, perimeter and area. • Place measurement labels on the canvas. They update as you move the shape. • Show the angles where lines cross with a single tap. CLASSIC INSTRUMENTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS • A compass that draws arcs, and a protractor that draws segments at an exact angle. • Rotate, reflect and translate shapes, or copies of them (Premium). SHAPES FROM NUMBERS (PREMIUM) • Build lines from their equations, triangles from their sides and angles, quadrangles from their sides and an angle, and parabolas and hyperbolas from their equations, with a live preview as you type. WORKSHEETS AND DOCUMENTS • Write notes in text boxes, and add pictures from the camera or photo library (Premium). • Import a PDF and draw and measure on top of its pages (Premium). • Create documents with several pages, on an infinite canvas or on A4 and A3 paper (Premium). • Share your drawing as an image (with cropping) or as a document, or export it as PDF or SVG (Premium). • Your work saves automatically to the Files app. Documents from the previous Geometry Pad open too. MADE FOR THE CLASSROOM • Cartesian, polar and isometric grids. • Real centimeters and inches on screen. • Seven themes, including chalkboard and blueprint, and full dark mode support. • Apple Pencil, keyboard shortcuts, multitasking and VoiceOver. PREMIUM One in-app purchase unlocks editing exact values, transformations, shapes from numbers, picture and PDF import, PDF and SVG export, and multi-page documents with A4 and A3 paper. Bought Premium in the previous Geometry Pad? It's recognized automatically, and Restore Purchase brings it to your other iPads. Geometry Pad is for teachers preparing lessons and worksheets, and for students exploring geometry on their own. We'd love to hear from you: tap Share feedback in the app's Help menu.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Quick Graph at 94% against Geometry Pad's 49%. Quick Graph also leads on ratings volume (425 vs 1). Geometry Pad's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Quick Graph sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Geometry Pad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Geometry Pad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Graph has 425 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Quick Graph's written reviews are positive against 49% of Geometry Pad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Quick Graph ships an update every 5 months, Geometry Pad every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
