  • Awful...

    App won't even allow you to write standard double-angle notation (i.e., cos^2(x), etc.).
  • Clunky

    It looks like there are a ton of cool uses, but it's too hard to manipulate them for my class.
  • Hmm...

    It's good once you figure out how to use it, but I'm having problems resizing/rearranging equations below the point where you have to scroll down from the top... Every time I try, the app freezes for a minute, and when it unfreezes, nothing happens.
  • Help

    Maybe I am missing something but I can't seem to figure this free version out. I can create shells of expressions and can move them around but can't fill them with numbers or variables. I just want to create math practice for my students. Is there an app for that?
  • Too many glitches

    The app would be marvelous if it WORKED!!! I tried to make a review sheet for one of my tutorial students, but failed miserably due to sparse instructional help and lack of communication between the pad and the app. It's as if the app wasn't made for the iPad, but for some other system, and it's like someone unlocked it for the iPad, causing it to work at a SUBPAR level. My fingers STILL hurt from trying to double-click on an expression to alter it! Just so...FRUSTRATING!!!!!

  • Nice App, But Some things need to be fixed.

    I am a math tutor for high school and college students. From time to time, I need an app like MathPad to send notes to some of my students. However, after typing 3 lines of mathematical expressions (answers to worksheet answers written out) the virtual keyboard blocks the view of what I'm trying to type. There is also no way to scroll up and down the document to make sure the expressions are what you want them to be. Finally, the explenation of gestures for certain commands is very small and hard to see.

  • Great concept!

    This is a great concept, especially for kids with disgraphia. I'd like to see it do more stuff specifically for elementary and middle school math like mixed fractions, spaces and semicolons in the math notation. I have some challenges using drag and drop and consistency of selecting and editing formulas, but the concept is great.

  • Bugged

    Ok so I tried the app once and when I went to use it again I clicked on the xy2 or Aa button and it closed. I tried reinstalling and deleting it several times but still no luck.
  • Good start but lacking "undo"

    This app has a good interface, but lacking the undo feature, it is not usable for anything other than a proof of concept. I hope the developer remedies this because I think the app is easy to use and has a lot of potential.

    I would give 0 stars. App is horrible! Save your money. Does not work at all. I am a math teacher looking for math type and thought I had found it. Instructions are of no help either. :-(
