Solve - Graphing Calculator

Pomegranate Apps LLC

Calculate and plot graphs with Solve.

It’s ideal for students, teachers, and anyone else in need of a powerful graphing calculator.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Solve is not only the best graphing calculator around, it’s also the best overall calculator thanks to its unique colorful interface. The colors aren’t there just to pretty things up. They also serve as separate calculators that can interact with each other. For example, if you store an answer within one calculator, you can swipe across the color bar to recall and use it in another calculator. Whenever you have an equation with variables that can be plotted a “Touch to Plot” button will appear, allowing you to quickly turn it into a graph. The app is loaded with other great features, and thankfully in-depth tutorials are available to help you take full advantage of all of them.

If you’re tired of lugging around a graphing calculator wherever you go, this is the app for you.

The only issue we have with Solve is that there are almost too many features. If all you want is a graphing calculator, you’re getting a lot more than you asked for.
