### 5/5 — Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! GET THIS!

*2024-08-12*

Let’s say: I’m not a mathematician. 
Let’s say: I’m Math Curious

THIS IS THE GREATEST APP for ppl who, like me, like puzzles, like figuring things out, who let their curiosity guide them into learning more, learning bigger. 

If math ppl like it, too. I’ll leave them to write those reviews. 

I’m SO GLAD I GOT THIS!

### 1/5 — Too basic, and wants money for nothing

*2021-06-18, version 4.0*

The information is too basic, more for children or very very basic school

But you can pay to get integral table.
It has no sense

### 1/5 — Pointless.

*2020-04-25*

Nowhere in the app does it tell you what the components of each equation is. Just displays the equation. What is the point if there is no reference or units???

### 5/5 — Nice layout

*2016-04-15*

This app is a handy math reference. Thanks for updating and fixing the ability to run this on the iPad 4. I just bought the full version. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Mise à jour

*2016-04-14*

La mise à jour refuse de se faire sur mon iPad et mon iPhone
Les deux sous iOS 9

### 1/5 — iPhone 5

*2016-04-14*

Чем провинился iPhone 5, что его исключили из списка поддерживаемых устройств? Ядер процессора не хватает? Скорости обработки графики? Простая программа должна работать на простых устройствах.

### 1/5 — No iPhone 5 support?

*2016-04-13, version 3.0.4*

Though Apple is still currently providing updates to iPhone 5, this app shows "not supported on this iPhone".

### 1/5 — IPhone 5 not supported !!!!!

*2016-04-13*

Why have you stop to support iPhone 5 ?

### 2/5 — Not working after update

*2016-04-12*

Have iPad 4th gen. Update states app is not compatible with this iPad. Was working fine before the update. Made the mistake of deleting the app. Now app will not even load. Please fix.

### 2/5 — No update for legacy iPads

*2016-04-12, version 3.0.4*

No Update for iPad 2 users, don't know why, even Apple updated the iPad 2 to iOS 9.3.1!
I can't believe it! Sorry but I can't afford a new iPad right now... Wait a minute, am I apologizing for what???
