With Geometry Pad you can create fundamental geometric shapes, explore and change their properties, and calculate metrics. The shapes are displayed on a scrollable and zoomable workbook with a rectangular coordinate system. The following tools are built into the application: - Point, angle, line, ray, segment, perpendicular bisector, tangent, triangle, quadrilateral, polygon, regular polygon, arc, sector, circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola. - Tools to create medians, altitudes and bisectors in a triangle. - Tools to create special triangles and quadrilaterals: right, isosceles, equilateral, square, rectangle, parallelogram and rhombus. - Two additional ways to create an ellipse: by center, end of a major axis, and a point on the ellipse; by focus points, and a point on the ellipse. - Compass tool to plot arcs with an easily adjustable center and radius. - Pencil tool to draw freehand annotations. - Text annotations and labels with mixed-in metrics such as length, angle, perimeter, equation, etc. - Transformation tools: rotation, reflection, enlargement, translation. - Create lines and triangles with predefined parameters such as equation of a line, and angles or sides of a triangle. - Insert images into the document. Each shape has a set of customizable properties such as color, width, background, etc. Shape metrics are automatically calculated and presented along with shape properties. Some of them are editable such as point location, line length, circe radius, etc. Snapping is deeply integrated into the application. Snap-to-grid and snap-to-objects allow for precise constructions. Additionally, lines can snap to parallel, perpendicular and tangent lines. Snapping can be easily turned on/off in the quick snapping settings window. Documents can be saved to your device, iCloud or to Dropbox. Export formats include PDF and image. Additionally, PDF documents can be opened within the app, annotated using any of the built in tools and exported as PDF again. Your suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

sketchometry
This app transforms your finger drawings into precise geometric shapes on your iPhone or iPad. It turns math into an experimental subject, encouraging learners to discover concepts through hands-on interaction rather than presenting pre-made solutions.
- Finger-to-geometry conversion
- Dynamic mathematical exploration
- Experimental learning approach
- Interactive geometric drawing
- Supports iPhone and iPad

Fascinatingly simple. Simply fascinating. sketchometry is a different kind of dynamic math software. You draw with your finger on your iPhone or iPad. sketchometry automatically converts these (finger) sketches into exact geometric objects. Mathematics becomes an experimental subject. No ready-made results are presented, learners are encouraged to go on a journey of discovery by themselves.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: sketchometry at Free against Geometry Pad+'s $6.99. sketchometry also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Geometry Pad+'s advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
