Reviews for Photomath

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 great help in College level Calc 1&2. Only issues is sometimes, the answers are not simplified all the way. Also it's unnecessary to turn every single decimal value into a fraction. It's just makes it harder to follow the steps.

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 should be trials, like the workbook feature; but using it for the calculation tutorial is over the top. The ads aren't as bad, but still intrude at random without warning.

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 a problem. I have not had the opportunity to see what else photomath offers but I am happy so far.

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 does have a premium version, but the free version works better than fine!)

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 how the equation is solved, to learn how to do it, or if your teacher needs to see work on the paper. Very wonderful app! 5 stars!

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 seconds and you can tell that it was made with the intention of actually helping people. I'm honestly surprised they don't make you pay money for it because I'd gladly pay 5-10$.

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 this way, but this provides a thorough explanation to each problem that goes in my way. It has a very impressive text reader and can somehow read my [awful] handwriting. When it does mess up though, you can always correct it, too.

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 I installed the app and gave it a try. I was immediately impressed by the optical OCR and the way solutions were presented. It's outstanding.

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 plus it will explain everything. But I guess its normal that its paid since the app is free. This is a great app for cheating and learning.

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 very uncommon and I love this aspect. Now my one problem, the camera. The camera is really bad, and you have to take a couple pictures before hand for it to focus. I would give this five stars, but the camera drops it down a star.

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 me to notice this, so, boom, they got me for another months payment.

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 the calculator told me no 🤡🤡 it's crazy how it's supposed to be a calculator but it can just be like "No! buy our subscription for $100 NOW!!" also I scrolled as far as I could and there were no other answer options..

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 somehow so it's not that big of a problem for me. Overall, really easy, simple, explains well, and exactly what I needed. 5 stars!!

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 my experience! Can't rave enough. Download it, it's brilliant.

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 solve word problems however, as I noticed it lacks that skill. As well as ability to take more than one photo. I had a really long problem the other day and a tool to take multiple photos would have been great! 4/5 :)

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 homework everyday, it has not failed even one time. My only possible suggestion would be to have an option to hide the answer to the problem for teaching purposes. Can't recommend it enough! Excellent!

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, with just the scan of your phone. To me it couldn't get any easier. Used this several times, and can officially say it's a lifesaver.

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 I didn't spend a penny on anything! It would be awesome if they made a "photoELA" or other subjects too. It is 100% ad free. Not even little side ads at the top or bottom. It is great!!

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 botton that allows you to see the steps. And if that wasn't enough, it explains the steps if you also want that! This app is a MUST HAVE!!!!

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 person or student would come across organically. i'd wager any math that probably ≥90% of the population. would ever need this app for, it's easily capable of computing, and rapidly at that. a "basic" calculator is also included in this app.
