I was struggling with some algebraic concepts, until I found this app. This has taught me so much and helped me out so well! If I could I would make this higher than 5 stars! I would recommend to anyone struggling with anything math! ### 5/5 — LIFE SAVER *2023-08-22, version 1.4.3* Dude, I originally started using this app online but i eventually downloaded it. This app is great man. Like I use it for school work, I use it to cheat/double-check my work. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Meghan Glenn *2023-06-21, version 1.4.3* I am about to go to the 3rd grad and it helps me so much thank you so much for making MathPapa.com ### 4/5 — BEST THING EVER *2023-06-05, version 1.4.3* JUST AMAZING ### 5/5 — 🤗 *2023-04-01, version 1.4.3* Great app , but I it would definitely help if can take some of the sentence or take photos so that way we don’t have to typed. And it would be great that it show how to solve for y-intercept and x-intercept ### 5/5 — Best math app ever!!!!!!! *2023-03-03, version 1.4.3* So many functions to help with almost any math ### 4/5 — Amazing *2023-03-01, version 1.4.3* For homework it is great! At first I did a few of my homework questions on my own and used this to check my answers (I wanted to make sure it was legit). Every time the answers and working out matched mine. I used this to make the homework process a bit faster, by copying the working out and answers. But this app could be used to help anyone trying to understand the concepts, or anyone with homework due the next day. The only issue is that the way the working out is set out is a bit confusing but it wasn’t too difficult to follow. Also the app uses a computers divide symbol (which is a slash /) and multiplication symbol (which is a *). This could create confusion for a person not familiar with these. But apart from that a great app, thank you for halving my homework time :) P.s it lets me copy and paste questions which is a really nice touch :D ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-03-24, version 1.5.1* This app is useless unless you wanna pay 12$ A MONTH just for step by steps. I struggle with step by steps but this helped until I have to buy it to actually learn. ### 1/5 — No option for decimal form *2024-06-23, version 1.4.3* Doing calculations is useless when there’s no option to show the answer in decimal form. Also, sometimes, the calculation doesn’t even show any answer at all ### 1/5 — 🇳🇫 *2023-03-21, version 1.4.3* I NEED YOUR LOVE ❤️ I NEED YOUR LOVE ❤️ I NEED YOUR LOVE ❤️ I NEED YOUR LOVE ❤️ ⏪⏪⏪⏪ I NEED YOUR LOVE ❤️ I NEED YOUR TIME ⏰ WHEN EVERYTHING’S WRONG ❌ YOU MAKE IT RIGHT ✅ ### 1/5 — $1,100 a month for premium??? *2022-09-02, version 1.4.3* bro what when i pressed “step-by-step help” it showed me mathpapa premium and it says “$1,100 a month after free trial” 💀 such a scam, i hope nobody falls for it or either accidentally buys it ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-04-07, version 1.4.3* I tried to favorite a propblem and told me to plug in the variables….Like what? So it does basic math good but other then that it’s like any other calculator 🙄 ### 1/5 — Bruh *2022-03-08, version 1.4.3* 10$ a month 😐😐😐 ### 1/5 — Just stay on the online one *2022-03-07, version 1.4.3* it will let you see steps 3 times and then boom pay per month… They could have just put adverts when loading in and a constant one but instead they have a monthly subscription… ### 1/5 — trash *2022-02-07, version 1.4.3* This app sucks. I bought premium and it doesn’t even let me see the steps. Then i try to restore my purchase and it wont let me do that at all. Y’all better respond to me and get this sorted. ### 1/5 — Outrageous price *2021-09-23, version 1.4.3* 9.99 a MONTH? I understand you guys need to make money because of the cost to make this, but that’s simply outrageous. ### 1/5 — Not good at all *2021-09-17, version 1.4.3* I find this app not good at all I’m using it for my homework and I can only do like 3-5 questions then it won’t show the steps after that so I upgrade to premium and then it won’t work at all so I’m going to give this app a 1 star because it’s crappy ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — best *2026-04-30, version 1.5.1* i be using it for my algebra work n it get my questions right everytime no fake ### 5/5 — Miguel *2026-03-11, version 1.5.1* Superrrrrrrr ### 5/5 — Teecheer *2026-03-02, version 1.5.1* This app is very handy. ### 5/5 — Life saver *2026-01-26, version 1.5.1* Helps me do math super well.
