Community reviews for Geometry Pad

We should point out that the app itself, while entertaining, needs teacher support in order to fulfill its full educational potential. Giving students Geometry Pad without a project or problem in mind might be similar to simply handing a child a calculator. That said, as a tool for allowing students to experience a dynamic geometry environment, Geometry Pad hits the mark. The interface is relatively intuitive for students. Some operations, however, are less intuitive and require some experimentation or reference to the developers’ comprehensive web resources. We appreciated the way the app fit into the units for which we used it, and we plan to use it again this year.

Overall Geometry Pad does provide features in the free version that are sufficient for most classrooms teaching basic level mathematics and geometry, but higher level courses would require the paid version. It does seem that the app has been written to specifically push users to purchase the plus version for $6.99 because of how many features you can choose in the menu that require the upgraded purchase.
