  • Pretty good!

    Some of the buttons could be more responsive, and I would appreciate an “there exists” and “for all” symbol, but overall this works pretty well!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us this comment, as well as for your suggestions. We will take them into consideration for future versions.
  • Unusable

    I tried to import a Mathpad.mp from version 2.6.5, no go. Couldn't even copy/paste.

    Tried to type formulas - would not recognize my add on Apple keyboard on iPad.

    Typing by selecting characters from a list is slower than carving on a stone tablet and about as primitive.

    Version 2.6.5 is powerful and very useable. This version (26 something) is useless.

    Deleted app.
    0 stars if I could.

  • Broken

    In response to the developer: I am happy to send you a screen recording showing you that they keyboard will not appear automatically nor that the document will fill the screen.Hopefully you can work out the bugs as this looks like great software idea. Original Review: No keyboard and too small for an iPad Pro 12”. Don’t waste your money.

  • Warning! Subscription based product!

    I got this and noted the “in app purchases” I didn’t see any mention of a subscription.
  • Can't export without paying up.

    If the developers want to charge for saving "MultiDocs" they can-- but exporting should be standard. Unfortunately if I want to clip my notes to another app I need to buy the "MultiDocs". MultiDocs is marketed as a "module" but the app is useless without it. This isn't a "free" version, it's a trial in disguise. And maybe that could be forgiven if the app wasn't ugly, slow, confusing and crash-ridden. Of particular note is the use of weird icons. Is that the share icon? I dunno, looks like the old iOS 6 one… kinda? What does the folder icon do? Dunno, I need "MultiDocs". You have to toggle between two keyboards and the backspace doesn't go back and… ugh.

  • New tutorial is well done

    The new video tutorial is a well done, comprehensive help that provides good direction for understanding of how to use/drive the app...
  • Needs Manual !!!!

    I downloaded this app and after playing with it, watching the less than 1 minute tutorials multiple times, and reading the "how to use notes" multiple times, over the course of almost two hours; I could not enter the simplest of expressions using the app. There is no way I would pay anything for this app. I am certain that once you figure out how to navigate the app, after how many hours I can only imagine, you might be able to enter 2 + 2. This app needs better user instruction, without them it is a pure waste of my time and energy. I am better off with pencil, paper, and a scanner to communicate my ideas and equations.

  • Nope

    Not intuitive to use. Not at all useful as assistive tech for elementary student.
  • No keyboard

    Just installed and tried it out or tried to. Never showed me a keyboard, just a pop up to buy it. If I can't try it out, I'm not going to buy it.

    Uninstalling it now....
  • Waste of time

    I don't ordinarily write reviews of apps, but this app aggravated me so much I needed to warn others.

    I am a math teacher and rather tech savy, I usually use tablet PCs but this year am experimenting with the iPad as an instructional vehicle.

    I downloaded this app to whip up equations to import into notability for my class. I was unsuccessful in doing anything productive for approximately 20 minutes.

    The documentation is insufficient, and the interface is not intuitive or functional as far as I can tell.

    I brought up the special "math" keyboard and was utterly dumbfounded as to why it was so poorly done. I couldn't create a simple equation that included an exponent without having to constantly tap and fidget with the awkward interface of this app.

    I had hoped for something like math-type but got something completely non-useful. I'd avoid it if I were you.
