EduDots brings a lot of calculation tools for secondary school together in one app. Mathematics is the foundation, and the same tools work just as well in physics, chemistry, and economics lessons: from the scientific calculator to graphing and function investigation, from statistics to supply and demand. Built by a teacher, with one firm rule: a result is right, or it is not in the app. Everything for class β’ Simple and scientific calculators with real fractions and radicals β’ Graphing calculator with function investigation, sliders, tables, and points β’ Equations and systems of equations, solved exactly β’ Statistics: from dot plots to box plots, with correlation, regression, and data import for every investigation β’ Matrices with fraction arithmetic and elementary row operations β’ Solid geometry: cube buildings, views, cross-sections, nets, and solids of revolution β’ Graphs for economics: the budget line, supply and demand, costs and revenue β’ Counting problems with an interactive tree diagram β’ Computer algebra (beta): expand, factor, and compare, always exact, or honest when it cannot be In the classroom Choose a package the first time you start the app, so only the tools you use in class are on screen. Practice and assessment mode determines which tools are available during an assessment, and the log shows afterward which tools were used. Accessible to every student Accessibility is not an extra in EduDots; it is part of the design. Graphs and charts can be heard with VoiceOver, the entire app works in high contrast and in dark mode, touch targets are generous, dragging is never required, and a hardware keyboard controls everything. Your data stays yours EduDots collects nothing: no accounts, no servers, no ads, and no tracking. All work stays on the device. If you choose, saved work can sync to your other devices within your own Apple Account. That makes the app easy to trust in any classroom. EduDots is fully available in Dutch and English; the decimal separator follows the language automatically. Requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EduDots at none against JavaScript Starter's 1. JavaScript Starter's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
