It is a powerful, high-quality graphing calculator that takes full advantage of the multitouch display and the powerful graphing capabilities of the iPad and iPhone, both in 2D and 3D. "The app you need to survive the next semester." -- Gizmodo A simple yet intuitive interface makes it easy to enter and/or edit equations and visualize them in mathematical notation. It's capable of displaying explicit and implicit (opt) equations as well as inequalities (opt) in both 2D and 3D, in all standard coordinate systems: cartesian, polar, spherical, and cylindrical, all with fantastic speed and beautiful results, which can be copied, emailed or saved to the photo library. It also includes an evaluation feature to evaluate equations at specific points and a library where you can store commonly used equations. Up to 6 equations can be visualized simultaneously in both 2D and 3D modes; this limitation can be removed by purchasing the advanced feature set. Features: - Enhanced 2D - 3D plotting mode for great hi-res graphics. - Adaptive 2D algorithms. - Hyperbolic and Inverse functions. - Functions such as Min, Max, if. - Configurable axis decimal / π - Independent 2D zoom - Support for cartesian, polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. - Interactive expression evaluation. - Library for commonly used equations. - Swipe to delete equations from the equation list. - Save to photo library. - Copy to clipboard. - Turn graphs on/off - Drag to rotate - move. The advanced feature set gives you access to: - External screen support - 2D tracing. - 2D and 3D implicit graphs. - 2D and 3D inequalities. - Roots and Intersections (2D) - Value Table - More features to come!

Read full description

Provided by the Nuclear Data Section of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the app gives properties of more than 4 000 nuclides and isomers. A Chart of Nuclides, with zooming and tapping enabled, and a Periodic Table of Elements are included to allow easy selection and navigation. Filter criteria on half-life, decay mode, radiation type and energy can be selected. Summary data are presented in a scrolling list, with a details page for each nuclide containing web links to the data sources and further information such as level and decay schema. The filtered nuclides can be visualised on the Chart of Nuclides. Data are taken from the most recent and reliable sources, and optimal search-and-retrieve performance is achieved with an embedded database, meaning that no network connection is required.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Isotope Browser at none against Quick Graph's 1. Isotope Browser also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Quick Graph's advantage is ratings volume (405 vs 27) and review sentiment (94% vs 83%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quick Graph sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Isotope Browser asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Isotope Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Graph has 405 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Quick Graph's written reviews are positive against 83% of Isotope Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Quick Graph ships an update every 3 months, Isotope Browser every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
