Does not work

It literally had me on the starting page for hours and I couldn’t understand it worst app EVER And i dont like math after using the app

Response from developer

Thank you for your interest in the MathPad app. The FREE VERSION allows to: • Create documents with one page • Open and edit documents shared by other MathPad users • Open and edit documents created during any active subscription periods • Import documents from the ZurApps Vault using a private key • Use the app features in the Share menu by watching reward video ads. Check-out our Getting Started tutorial on our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFSp6FKzN4w, or tap the INFO button in the MathPad app for instructions.

Useless

The developers set this up to pay first and try but the App does not work on my iPad. I cannot create a new sheet in either orientation. They advised to quit and retry which I did. I then uninstalled the App and tried again. It’s useless and not worth 50-cents let alone the $29 for an annual subscription. They get one star because I could not post at ZERO stars.

The app is pretty good

It allows you to rapidly creat math formulas and edit it later if needed.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience; we are happy to hear that MathPad is meeting and exceeding your needs.

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!

Response from developer

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.

Ads blocks entry keyboard

Last 2 rows of keyboard is blocked by ads and not usable. Is this by design?

Response from developer

Thank you for your comment. The advertisement does not block any essential buttons, only the quick buttons, and because the keyboard is scrollable you still have access to the most crucial features and functions. If you do not want to experience ads while using the app, you can purchase the one-month subscription of MathPad, and cancel at any time. Please send us an email to emails@zurapps.com if you have any other issues, and we will try to assist you.

Kind of awful.

Are you serious? I keep having to reinstall this app when things in one of my documents go everywhere on the screen.

Benutzerunfreundlich ist gar kein Ausdruck

Wer entwirft bitte ein derart Nutzer unfreundliches Programm?! Bloß kein Geld dafür ausgeben!!!

Warning! Subscription based product!

I got this and noted the “in app purchases” I didn’t see any mention of a subscription.

Not very good is it?!

Probably the most unintuitive app I have downloaded. Doesn't let you do anything with ease or indeed anything worthwhile at all.

Kostet Nichts aber kann auch Nichts

Dieses Programm leistet überhaupt nichts in dieser Version und ist derartig Benutzerunfreundlich und sinnlos, dass ich mir den Kauf dieser App ersparte.

Matrices

I've been trying to find an app that would let me write Matrices! Found it!

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.
