Description

With Geometry Pad you can create fundamental geometric shapes, explore and change their properties, and calculate metrics. The shapes are displayed on a scrollable and zoomable workbook with a rectangular coordinate system.

The following tools are built into the application:
- Point, angle, line, ray, segment, perpendicular bisector, tangent, triangle, quadrilateral, polygon, regular polygon, arc, sector, circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola.
- Tools to create medians, altitudes and bisectors in a triangle.
- Tools to create special triangles and quadrilaterals: right, isosceles, equilateral, square, rectangle, parallelogram and rhombus.
- Two additional ways to create an ellipse: by center, end of a major axis, and a point on the ellipse; by focus points, and a point on the ellipse.
- Compass tool to plot arcs with an easily adjustable center and radius.
- Pencil tool to draw freehand annotations.
- Text annotations and labels with mixed-in metrics such as length, angle, perimeter, equation, etc.
- Transformation tools: rotation, reflection, enlargement, translation.
- Create lines and triangles with predefined parameters such as equation of a line, and angles or sides of a triangle.
- Insert images into the document.

Each shape has a set of customizable properties such as color, width, background, etc. Shape metrics are automatically calculated and presented along with shape properties. Some of them are editable such as point location, line length, circe radius, etc.

Snapping is deeply integrated into the application. Snap-to-grid and snap-to-objects allow for precise constructions. Additionally, lines can snap to parallel, perpendicular and tangent lines. Snapping can be easily turned on/off in the quick snapping settings window.

Documents can be saved to your device, iCloud or to Dropbox. Export formats include PDF and image. Additionally, PDF documents can be opened within the app, annotated using any of the built in tools and exported as PDF again.

Your suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Just select Feedback under the app menu and write us an e-mail.

Good app

Much better than other CADD apps for working out cabinetry details and such. However it seems to still be spotty in actual use. Sometimes the metrics will give the area of a freely shaped polygon and sometimes it won't. I can't get an area when the shape has been drawn over a map. I have to go to another app which has no problems with google maps. Over all this app works like a logical person would expect.

Buy it without fail

GeoGebra is powerful, free, international software that does an enormous amount of mathematics. It is slowly making its way to the IPad. In the meantime, if you spend 3.99, you can begin to do some significant geometry today. You can email the results or just save them as photos. You can do some really elaborate constructions and make measurements on the resulting figures.
Do yourself a favor if you are studying, teaching, or just enjoying geometry- buy this app!
Geometry Pad is a superior app for making detailed sketches, and measurements. It can be used to solve geometry problems effectively.

Really very well done

I am using geometry pad to teach an adult course in geometric constructions as used in the construction of gothic architecture and tiling patterns as developed by the Islamic world. The more I've used it the more impressed I've become. It's a delight to use! The compass tool is particularly clever. Geometric constructions were what first deeply attracted me to mathematics and even played a role in my doctoral thesis. I can see how this app could similarly inspire students. It should be in every secondary math classroom.
