Move! Move! It moves! You can draw and move your graphs! Setting invariables in the formula and changing the value, you can move your graphs freely! AMAZINGLY MANY KINDS OF GRAPHS! You can draw many kinds of graphs by setting function such as y=f(x), x=f(y), x=f(t) and y=g(t), f(x,y)=0, pole equation. (In the Lite version, we support only "y=f(x)" and command "Line") MOVE GRAPHS! This is the greatest feature of this app! We prepared "m" as an invariable. You can change the value continuously and see the graph moving. Using this feature, you can see many interesting moves, such as simple oscillation, cycloid curve, synthesis of waves. ORIGINAL KEYBOARD! We prepared the original keyboard specialized for mathematical formulas. You can type mathematical formulas very easily. SEE MANY GRAPHS SIMULTANEOUSLY! You can set unlimited number of graphs and see them simultaneously. VERY CONVENIENT TOOL "com". By using this, you can draw line segments, circles, points and texts very easily. For example, you can draw a line segments by setting the starting point and the end point. MANY INTERESTING SAMPLES! You can load many interesting samples from βLoad SampleComβ. They are not only interesting, but also help you to master this app. TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR GRAPH! You easily take a photo of your graph by pushing βphoto buttonβ.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: gDrawLite at none against LiveMath's 1. gDrawLite also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). LiveMath's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 10 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
