4D Draw vs Drawing with Math
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.
Drawing with Math
This app offers vector and pixel art editors with tools for free drawing, shapes, and function plotting. It allows for linear transformations of images using matrices, eigenvalues, and rotations, alongside pixel image compression.
- Vector and pixel art editors
- Free drawing and shape tools
- Function plotting (Cartesian, polar, parametric)
- Linear image transformations (matrix, rotation)
- Pixel image compression
- Editable greeting cards

Our “Drawing with Math (Vector and Pixel Art)” app combines two main components: * uniquely versatile image editors, * various methods of linear transformations of both user-entered and system images. Image editors are available in vector and pixelated forms. The editors offer such options as: * free drawing, * entry of all standard shapes, * entry of regular Cartesian, polar, or parametric function into image editor. List of several visually appealing functions is provided. The App stores 10 most recent user entries for each type. Vector images can be linearly transformed in a variety of user-defined ways: * 2x2 matrix, * eigenvalues and eigenvectors, * rotation by degree, * reflection across a given vector. Pixelated images can be compressed by segments to user-selected rank. Mathematical context for the above is provided, whenever possible. Explanation of image compression algorithms requires significant understanding of Linear Algebra, and is available in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Several bonus images with animations and editable greeting cards are also available. Suggestions and any other feedback are welcome! Write to us at graphmath@aol.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Drawing with Math at 4.5 against 4D Draw's 3.4. Drawing with Math also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). 4D Draw's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
