4D Draw vs GraphMath
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
4D Draw
This app allows users to draw and visualize four-dimensional figures using color to represent the fourth coordinate. It includes a help menu with drawing tutorials and creative ideas to aid in understanding 4D space.
- Draw 4-dimensional figures
- Use color for the fourth coordinate
- Built-in 'How to draw' guide
- 4D construction ideas
- Visualize 4-dimensional space

4D Draw is a simple vector-graphics app that lets you draw 4‑dimensional figures. It represents each point's first three coordinates in the usual way, while using color to represent the fourth coordinate. A built-in Help menu includes a “How to draw” page for an easy start, followed by a page of “4D construction ideas” to set you on your way towards visualizing 4-dimensional space. 4D Draw is intended for geometry students who want to learn to visualize 4‑dimensional space. People looking for a more recreational introduction to 4D should begin with 4D Maze instead. People looking for an even more recreational introduction to modern concepts of space and symmetry may enjoy the Torus Games or KaleidoPaint.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GraphMath at 5.0 against 4D Draw's 3.3. GraphMath also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GraphMath holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 12 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of 4D Draw's written reviews are positive against 100% of GraphMath's.
4D Draw ships an update every 7 months, GraphMath fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 6, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
