GraphWeave lets you draw a network by hand and instantly see its geometric and structural properties, computed on the spot and shown in color. Place nodes and links with your finger, and discrete curvature and centrality measures appear right away. ■ Features • Sketch nodes and links directly; drag to arrange them freely • Discrete Ollivier–Ricci curvature for every link • Six node measures: degree, closeness, betweenness and eigenvector centrality, clustering coefficient, and PageRank • Links or nodes are automatically colored on a coolwarm (blue→red) scale, with numeric labels • Save graphs on your device and reopen them anytime to re-analyze • Works fully offline — no account, no network connection ■ Who it's for • Students and teachers learning graph theory and network science • Anyone who wants a hands-on feel for curvature and centrality • Researchers who need a quick look at the structure of a small network ■ Privacy GraphWeave collects no data. Your graphs are stored only on your device and are never sent anywhere. No ads. Metric definitions follow the open-source networkx implementations.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GraphWeave at 100% against sssLife's 50%. GraphWeave also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). sssLife's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sssLife sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. GraphWeave asks for nothing beyond the download.
GraphWeave holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sssLife has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of sssLife's written reviews are positive against 100% of GraphWeave's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
