Kindly some update needed to fix. This is a great example but some issues with ups also the CalcView is not working or neither can be view. ### 2/5 — Bugs *2019-05-02* They really. Red to fix those I couldn’t even use the app the screen would just freeze or be stuck on the loading sign ### 3/5 — My app is blank... update? *2019-04-25* This is helpful while doing homework, but if i can’t use it with 2 weeks left in the semester it makes it very difficult. how long is the problem going to take to be fixed? ### 2/5 — Skips steps *2016-05-18* I'm a calculus student, and it's very frustrating when the problems you are checking for homework skip steps and you can't figure out why the answer is correct. Use chegg instead. ### 5/5 — Yes! *2016-02-25, version 2.0* Finally, I've been waiting for improvements to this app. This makes everything so much easier! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2016-02-16, version 2.0* Great app!! Really easy to access and everything loads quick and smoothly! Thanks calc chat! ### 5/5 — Great Improvement! *2016-02-07, version 2.0* The user interface and functionality of the app have improved significantly. Chapters can actually be downloaded now! I am also digging the new sleek design of the app. It makes it easier to navigate and looks great on iOS 9. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-01-28, version 2.0* Shout out MHS and mr Lippi. Cool app. ### 3/5 — Great, but... *2015-09-08, version 1.0.2* I want to know its worth my $5. Please update where it supports iPad. Would be great for me and other people to use smoothly without any issues or blurry display. ### 5/5 — ITS FIXED! AMAZING HELPFUL APP! *2015-03-16, version 1.0.2* Finally! 😭🙌🙌🙌 thank you for fixing the problem! I can finally connect and not crash and burn! The app helps with my understanding of the precalculus world! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2015-03-16, version 1.0.2* You guys have no idea how happy it makes me feel to finally see an update for this app!! I used this constantly for my Cal 1, and when I advanced to Cal 2 we use the same book, but I was saddened to see that the app quit working and constantly crashed after I updated to iOS 8. I can finally use this app again for help on my homework!! ### 5/5 — Very thankful for your upgrade! *2015-02-25, version 1.0.1* This app is so helpful for me. Really appreciate! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — app loads to a blank screen *2019-05-07* it still loads to a blank screen and i’m freaking. please help!! ### 1/5 — Loading my book *2019-04-30* Why can’t I get my book to load? It won’t scan the isbn. ### 1/5 — The most recent updated ruined the ap *2019-04-21* Why would you update the ap at the end of a semester?!?! There are two weeks left in the class and the update this week has crashed the ap. It loads to a blank screen. It used to be great to double check answers for the text questions. Would be nice if they fixed it. ### 1/5 — Love app but... *2017-02-08* I want to keep a lowprofile from my teachers. 👍 ### 1/5 — Blurry! *2016-10-21* Please release an update to fix the issue of blurred text! ### 1/5 — Blurry *2016-04-24* Don't get me wrong, I love CalcChat; I would never have gotten through AP Calculus last year without it. Now that I have a smart phone I was excited to have an actual app instead of using the Internet version, but I was very upset to find that the problems are blurry and almost impossible to read. It would be perfect if you could actually see the problems but since you can't what's the point? ### 1/5 — Great app *2016-01-28, version 2.0* Helps me with math homework 10/10 ### 1/5 — Do you like wasting your money? *2015-04-18, version 1.0.2* Gosh I paid 5 bucks for this poorly designed app. There is a download button that allows you to access the app without Internet. But it doesn't work for all the chapters. (for ex., calc 9e chapter 13 freezes during downloading) Furthermore, the app only works in the vertical orientation. They need the auto rotate to horizontal function which is easier to read for longer math equations on your iPhone. Stick with the free web version. ### 1/5 — READ THE REVIEWS *2015-02-24, version 1.0.0* Note to self: Always read the reviews. I just spent the rediculous $5.00 on this app only to find it will not open. I should have read everyone's warnings. ### 1/5 — WONT OPEN *2015-02-12, version 1.0.0* I loved this app- until it would never open. Don't waste your money on this until they update it. I haven't been able to open it for about a month now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — golly *2023-09-01* wow i love this app so much ### 5/5 — stunning *2020-09-10* luv u sm 😻😻😻😻 thanks for saving my grade ✨✨ ### 5/5 — Wonderful app! *2020-05-01* This app is absolutely essential for math students ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-01-03* Great app homie ### 5/5 — Helpful App *2019-12-26* I’m not sure where all of these bad reviews are coming from. This is a really good app and has helped me tremendously with my calculus homework. It’s simple and works effectively. That’s what it should do; It doesn’t need to work like a rocket ship. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-02-06* Works perfectly fine. I use it with my textbook for AP Calculus BC and it’s saved my life so many times over. ### 5/5 — Recommend to anyone who uses these textbooks *2018-09-14* I really love this app! I've always appreciated having the answers to odd-numbered questions in the back of the book, but it didn’t really help me understand what I did wrong or what I'm supposed to do. This app gave me that little extra boost I needed! Other reviews mention blurry answers, but I haven’t experienced that yet. I'd say it’s worth a download anyway. If your math class uses a Larson textbook, this app will most likely be more helpful than any website or forum or calculator out there. That being said, they sometimes skip steps, and of course, it only has half the problems. It's not a super pretty UI, but you can get from section to section and from problem to problem within a couple seconds. To me, these “problems” are not bad enough to take off a star. ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2017-09-05* s/o to Abraham ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-05-08* This shows answers to all the odd numbered exercises in my pre-calc book, just like in the back of the actual book. It shows step by step solutions to the problems. Really helpful! ### 5/5 — Great value *2016-10-28* Considering this is essentially the answer key for free, it's awesome! One suggestion would be add reference to examples. Makes it super easy to correct my work! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
