  • Great, but...

    This is a great app! You can do so much more with this keyboard. Two complaints I have, though, starting with the first one, is the fact that the app doesn’t have superscript or subscript variables (such as x, y or z), which is a big downside for wanting to write out an exponential or logarithmic equation/function; they only have superscript and subscript for numbers and a few mathematical signs.

    Another complaint is that you can’t write a fraction with the fraction bar being horizontal like you would writing a fraction on paper. For example, you have to write fractions like this: 1/2, which is fine, but I would like to see a horizontal fraction bar added into the app. Other than those two things, everything else works fine, and this is a great app!
  • Don’t Purchase

    This app had a few keys and when I purchased the .99 full version it didn’t have much more than the basic version. Check the privacy waiver it wants you to approve. Not worth the dollar I wasted. I immediately uninstalled.
  • Great app

    It’s a great app but the keyboard layout should not be pro because some people may need or be used to the other layouts. Thanks!!! Helps with communication with algebra teacher!!!
  • waste of time

    pointless app, you have to pay to use most of the symbols so it’s not even worth the demo version.
  • Just don’t

    Can’t do anything without pro. Waste of time.
  • Stupid errors, unresponsive dev

    I noticed simple precision errors occurring and sent several emails fills to the dev regarding the issue. I never heard back.
    The errors occur when subtracting small decimals:
    2112 - 2104 = 8
    211.2 - 210.4 = 0.799999999999983
    I gave the app two stars because I still find it useful, the bug is simple enough to work around and I'm not using this to do my taxes.
  • If your going to charge money

    Just charge it. Without “pro” my phone has 90% of this stuff and that percent marker is proof
  • Don’t waste your time

    Have to pay for the pro version in order to get basic symbols, which are already available on a normal keyboard, including the basic iPhone keyboard. Plenty of better apps out there, don’t waste your time or money for nothing!!!
  • Ehhhh

    It's sorta cool until you pay for the pro version. Until then relational operators and curly & square brackets among other symbols are blocked? SciKey gives all for free. Just sayin.
  • Don't get your hopes up...

    The app may say "free", but you won't get anything new besides the π symbol unless you pay.
