One Software in Different Packages

Depending on your hardware and preferences, you can currently choose between two versions of GeoGebra 5.0, 5.0 Desktop and the 5.0 Web and Tablet Apps. While all versions provide the full power of GeoGebra, their user interfaces are slightly different.

You may switch to another Perspective at any time by clicking on the arrow on the right side of the GeoGebra window and selecting the Perspective you want from the Perspectives sidebar.

When you open the GeoGebra 5.0 Web and Tablet Apps, the Perspectives Start Screen appears, allowing you to select the Perspective that best fits the mathematical topic you want to work with. You can switch to another Perspective at any time by clicking on the Menu button in the upper right corner of the GeoGebra window and selecting the Perspective you want from the Perspectives menu.
