Graph vs Wetland
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Graph
This app creates various types of graphs from numerical data. Users can easily input and edit data, then export their visualizations via email, print, or save them. It offers extensive graph types and interactive features for exploring data.
- Multiple 1D, 2D, and 3D graph types
- Data input and editing via table interface
- Interactive graph manipulation (rotate, zoom)
- Export graphs via email, print, or save
- AirDrop to Graph IDE on iPad
- Project-based data and preference organization

Graph is straightforward: • Makes graphs from numbers. • Made by the data visualization expert - VVI®. • Touch-hold a graph to email, print or save to your Photo Album. • Plenty of built-in options. • AirDrop your graph to the most powerful data visualization application on the iPad, Graph IDE. FEATURES • Includes several 1D, 2D and 3D graph types such as bar, column, pie, line, area, scatter, 3D perspective scatter, trajectory and surface, volumetric, z-sliced cell, maps, linear, semi-log, x-log, log-log, polar, r-log, Gregorian date and many variations. • Data is pasted from the pasteboard and inserted and edited using a table interface. • Touch-hold a graph to export it to Graph IDE on the iPad. Graph IDE is the most powerful data visualization application for the iPad and gives access to a wide variety of graph types and graphical effects. (Graph IDE is separately available for the iPad). • Touch graphs to rotate, zoom, scroll and scan data. • Touch data graphics, such as lines and bars, to show data values. • Touch-hold a graph to copy, print, mail, AirDrop and save it to other applications. • Data and preferences are organized by project and each project is persistent and automatically saved so you can show and retrieve your settings and data on subsequent use. NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The Location Tracking task requires GPS for its function.
Wetland
Create custom data collection forms for various applications, including specialized wetland determination. Digitize points, lines, and areas on a map, import data from shapefiles, and use GPS for stakeout functions. Reports can be exported to PDF and shared via email.
- Custom data collection form creation
- Wetland determination data forms
- Map digitization (points, lines, areas)

The Wetland - Stakeout app provides the capability to create a custom data collection/report form on the iPad. This app can be used for designing data collection forms for various types of applications, from a simple inventory log, price quote or job contract to a sophisticated form for collecting GIS data. In particular, 10 Wetland Determination Data Form templates are built into this app to facilitate the data collection for wetland determination in the ten Regions in the USA. The forms contain built-in logic as well as formulas for performing automatic computations. They are based on the Regional Supplements to the Wetland Delineation Manuals provided by the US Army Corps of Engineers during 2007 - 2012. In addition, this app will let you add points, lines and areas to a map job by on-screen digitization or by importing the Features from Shapefiles. You can then use the Stakeout functions to help you get to the job sites represented by these Features. GPS capability is required for the Point Stakeout and Line Stakeout functions. GPS capability will also enable you to create an incidental point by recording a GPS fix. Please note: The accuracy of the location data depends on the GPS receiver used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The app lets you easily toggle the GPS on or off. You will be able to use this app to perform the following functions. * Use a Wetland Determination Data Form to enter data. * Create a custom data entry/report form in each job file. * Save your report design as a reusable template. * Send the completed report form to a PDF file. * Import the shapes from Shapefiles or a DXF file. * Precisely digitize Points, Lines and Areas over the built-in Map. * Move existing nodes to fine-tune the map drawing. * View position, length and area values for the Features. * Label the Lines with segment lengths and directions as well as corner angles. * Label the Areas with size in acres and square feet or hectares and square meters. * Measure distances and areas. * Move existing nodes to fine-tune the map drawing. * Create a Point from the entered address or coordinates. * Create a Point or record a node by picking the GPS location. * Attach photos to Point, Line or Area Features. * Use GPS to stake out Points or nodes on a Line or Area Feature. * Use GPS to guide you along a specified Line or Area boundary. * Save the job data file for later use. * Output the drawing and the coordinates to PDF. * Email the job data files, the PDF files and the DXF files to your colleagues.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wetland at 100% against Graph's 30%. Wetland also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Graph's advantage is price (Free vs $94.99) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
