Trash
This app consistently gives me the utmost worst answers ever conceived by man or by AI, don’t use this mistake of an application the only thing it does is take up space on your precious phone I’m literally failing a homework assignment because of this atrocious “math app” I would rather listen to my teacher explain it to me for 30 minutes in the most slow and monotone manner than consistently be given incorrect answers. I mean seriously how hard can it be. The devs have to be scamming you bc there’s no other way I can be given so many wrong answers and they just want you to buy their premium version which is probably worse anyways garbage app I recommend literally any other homework solving app I hate the devs. Even the name is stupid “Mathway” like how about I math my way into finding your IP address you bums. Stop giving me incorrect answers and hire some new people bc the ones you have right now are the always people that can possibly conceived. If I was their parents I would end up like Aaron Hernandez. The only reason I’m giving a single star is because I physically can’t give 0 bc Apple knows that your ratings would drop horrendously

Chegg is actually doing good?!
Right off the bat, I generally have a huge gripe with these education companies sucking and making awful tools for students to learn with. Even though Chegg took this app over not too long ago, I want to thank them for keeping things the way they are so far and I’ve had nothing but good things to say about this app. I’m a Physics major, so calculators and self-study help tools are so important for me.
My only wishes are a dark mode option, and being able to take past equations from the “history” section and copy and paste them back so you don’t have to type a previous equation all out again. Besides that, that annual subscription pays for itself 10x over and it’s the best smart-calculator on the App Store in my opinion.
I just hope things stay this good.

The BEST Math Solver
I’m a Physics student. I’ve tried many features of many apps, but this is one by far the most reliable, and the solutions it gives are usually explained in much greater depth than other apps in my experience. I use the solution steps to learn what I’m doing right or wrong, and it gives me some ideas to do things I haven’t thought of before. Also, I love how reliable the picture taker is. I’m often shocked that it recognizes some of the problems that it does. Best of these kinds of apps hands down, and I’m happy to pay the subscription for it.
Only feedback I’d give is I wish in the “history” section of recently typed math, clicking on it would automatically input it all so I don’t have to re-type it out. Also dark mode (or at least not as bright) would be lovely.

The best math app I’ve found!
I rarely write reviews for apps, but this is definitely one I want to get out there. I don’t have access to a logarithmic calculator at home, and every other calculator I’ve found on the web is way too complicated. This was the fastest and most straightforward calculator app/website I have used! It’s super simple and easy for me to simplify my work without wasting time on searching for hours for a calculator. I definitely recommend this extremely useful resource for any students or teachers for that matter! A lot of these apps have hidden fees or payments to use certain aspects of the service, but this one is by far the most unfiltered, helpful tool I have seen in a while. Thank you for providing so many individuals with the appropriate tools to succeed! Will definitely share this with my math classes :)

I’m appalled
I had high hopes for this app whilst reading the reviews, I downloaded this app because I felt like it had helped so many people and I need to up my game in maths, but this app made me so angry, why should I have to pay to have help with my education I’m so disgusted and disappointed. Hopefully someone will make an app with no need subscriptions or anything like that, I’m just asking for help with my education not a “free trial” and no “subscription” please just no. Don’t download this app because it’s a complete waste of time unless your willing to pay money for something useless.

Meh
It solves most problems but when it gets down to subjects like calculus half the time it has no idea what’s going on. Doesn’t preform that well with algebra either and can’t solve word problems or 2 part equations that for example have a function, and then have specific points to help solve for the function. I have the subscription that (supposedly) gives the full on explanations but sometimes the explanations are absolutely terrible.
Here’s what I’ve seen
1. They have rules and logic far beyond the actual material (Example: I had a calc 1 algebra problem and the explanation used rules from calc 3 that I won’t ever learn and are not applicable to this course)
2. The explanation is missing factors
It’ll have good breakdowns of each step for certain things but then the rest of the equation in the most integral parts there’s no explanation you just need to accept it is the way it is.
3. There is no explanation at all
Sometimes there’s just straight up no explanation on it at all. The app tells you oh it’s this and that’s it. Keep in mind I paid money for this service!
If you want to have a detailed step by step app this isn’t it I’d go somewhere else because it’s just evident they took the easy way out when it comes to making the app actually explain things. Subscription isn’t worth it I’m just getting an actual tutor instead of deciphering calc 3 for an algebra problem.

It’s so tedious to use now
I payed for the app but I stopped because it’s new interface is so bad. You have to crop te picture before you take and so it’s tedious holding the camera and positioning right on the problem. It’s annoying when it’s on a paper with a bunch of other problems on there. You used to be able to take a picture and then crop it I don’t know why they saw a need to change it. Also you can’t build on problems or use your answers for other problems I don’t know if I explained it clearly. But you used to be able to solve a problem then tap on the answer and then it would copy and paste that answer so that you can do something to that answer. Now you have to type everything in one go making sure all parentheses is correct. Also on some problems if you mistyped and realize it too late, if you go to history you can’t edit it from there you have to retype the entire problem. It’s tedious, it was great before I have no idea why there was a need to fix something that’s not broken. It’s only good for checking answers.

My current reality check with this app
This app does not handle my calculus problems well. I use to use this app daily for everything, it felt like a great way to play around and understand math. After the update, the UI made it hard to treat the app as a way to play with numbers. Now the UI seems to be only for doing ONE hw problem at a time. Now I’m in calculus and the app hasn’t gotten any of my hw correct in the way it has to be simplified and it won’t even graph some of my limit problems. I have been using the app now just minutes a week. Also chat GPT can answer and deal with math problems that are not complicated. So I would like to RELY on this app for more complex problems but it is not doing well on that. I will subscribe again for a third year if Mathway can either fix this UI for me to play around just like the old UI did or have it start solving harder problems. There are other resources available these days but I know this app can pull through and stand out like it did before the update, so I’m waiting 🤞

Amazing app
I love this app just take a picture of a solution you don’t know and you get the answer that easy and you can edit the solution it’s so easy just two steps and you got a answer
Just what I needed
The book I’m using to study algebra doesn’t always have the answer so I can’t check to see if I’m right, this app is exactly what I needed! I feel like the step by step subscription is a bit pricey for what it is but I don’t really need it anyways. If you are wanting an app that tells you step by step this isn’t the one for you unless you’re paying 10$ a month for it but if you just like to check if you’re right then this is perfect! I’ll be using this all the time
