2 years in and I adore this app. I hate apps that only give you answers, but no work to get to them. If they do, then you have to pay. It incentivizes students to cheat rather than learn. I want to actually learn how to solve the problems, so this app has been such […]

This app has turned into utter rubbish. In order to get help on the answer, you have to pay for a weekly/monthly trial. I understand that the developers need to earn money off of the app somehow, but it has come to the point where it’s-pay-to-use. There are some aspects where I understand why there […]

Great app. I used it to check my homework along with Wolfram alpha. Wolfram alpha is great too but it kept giving me the wrong solution to a differentiation problem. Photomath gave me the correct solution and steps all for the cost of free. I was also impressed with how easy it is to input […]

Awesome app! It’s really great for when I’m doing homework or studying and need help understanding the process. The only issue I ever have is sometimes my camera doesn’t focus and I can’t take a picture, but if I exit out of the app and go back in that usually fixes the problem. Absolutely recommend!! […]

It is a very well made app! It is really useful for when you dont want to type in the whole equation and just take a picture of it. It helps a lot when I am struggling on a long equation that I dont quite understand. Photo Math gives you an option to look at […]

this is a MUST have for any student or teacher, it’s so easy to use and has great results. it can give you some pretty complicated answers, give you a step-by-step, and even read handwriting really well! it’s rare that I come across an app like this that doesn’t push adds on you every 30 […]

Ok so it may seem like a malicious piece of software made to cheat homework… But I have used it a few times to walk me through problems that troubled me or things the teacher had not taught yet. I know it is used to cheat homework and I have seen people use it in […]

I’m an adjunct instructor in a community college. I teach courses in electronics, automation, and industrial engineering. So, yeah, a bit of math involved. A student brought Photomath to my attention several years ago. I was a little skeptical of how well it would be able to recognize various equations, etc., especially handwritten problems. So […]

Its really good but there needs to be a feature that it can read words and i also need to pay to know most of the stuff when its explaining how to do it. So I can’t understand the exact process on how to do an equation. But its really good if you get Photomath […]

Love this app so much! I get so much homework and this makes it go by a lot quicker! Unlike other apps similar to this, it gives you the step by step solution. And because my professor requires showing your work, it helps a lot. I also love how it has no ads! This is […]

The app works fine, not great, but paying for the premium version is not much better, and is very misleading to Uninstall. First of all, they cancel at the end of the month, so you are still on the hook for one payment. Also, deleting your account doesn’t unsubscribe you. It took a month for […]

the app works fine but when I take a picture of some problems, it shows the correct for a plus version but then for the free version it shows the wrong answer even though it’s solving for the same thing! I don’t understand why it does this– UPDATE: it was all fun and games until […]

Very quick and easy for most any math I need to do. I spent FOREVER looking for a photomath app that actually showed the steps and this did so perfectly! I do wish that I didn’t have to pay to get a full in depth explanation but I get that they have to make money […]

Best app for someone who struggles with math. The break downs of how to solve a problem are done in a way that even the person who just doesn’t understand, will finally understand. Definitely worth the paid version if you’re a student. The app explains things better than the textbooks and even the teachers, in […]

This app is really great! I’ve got a lot of school work done using it and now have an A++ in my math class 🙂 I also always make sure to read the explanation, because whenever I don’t understand how to figure it out the explanation is really helpful. I would add a feature to […]

Absolute necessity for us parents that have not done algebra, geometry, etc. since we were in school! This app has been such a great help, it makes teaching your child math as easy as taking a picture, literally! I had my doubts about how well the camera would read the problem but after weeks of […]

I’ve always struggled with algebra and mathematical expressions, especially finding a thorough explanation on how to solve it step by step. Websites like “Brainley” simply provide an answer unless you want the full package to unlock. But this app makes it as easy as possible to get an explanation breaking apart the problem in chunks, […]

It does all kinds of probldms! And shows you the steps to solveing them too. I used to think of it as a cheat sheet, now I think of it more as a tool. Also, a lot of other reviews said they had to pay for things. I have the full app for free and […]

Photomath is going to be your best friend in middle and highschool NO JOKE. my homework gets done at least 30 minutes earlier now! It’s as simple as cropping the screen to fit the problem, taking the picture, and seeing the answer! And if you need to show ‘your’ work, you can just press the […]

as long as you can write legibly enough your devices camera to get a clear pic of the problem, this app is actually surprisingly powerful. I’ve run into a few types of problems where its told me that it was unable to do that type of problem yet, but the math wasn’t anything a typical […]
