### 4/5 — Great!

*2025-03-05*

This is a fantastic app! As someone who is versed in Mathematica and MatLab I find your interface and syntax to be just about perfect. I do have a few feature requests though: - One thing I need though which seems to be missing is the ability to shade below a graph to the x-axis but only between two given x-values. - I would like to have the ability to print all results in decimal only. - I would be great if “shift”+”enter” would creat a new line for a multi-line command.

EDIT: Unfortunately it appears this app has been abandoned by the developer. Two years without an update :(

EDIT: Now three years with no update.

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2023-07-04*

The app used to be great. Unfortunately it is crashing now very often by just inputting a single character.
For me it is almost unusable now.

### 3/5 — Please fix contour plot for 2D and add contourplot 3D feature

*2023-03-27*

I wish.. only wish they would fix contourplot for 2d!

### 4/5 — Why ?

*2023-01-10*

I would love to give this 5 stars but for the love of all that is good why did they choose to index lists, arrays, matrices etc. starting from 1 instead of zero??

### 3/5 — Powerful but crashy

*2022-02-20*

Its very poweful, great for solving problems and exploring math concepts. I love its ability to do symbolic math, and its easy to use interactive plots for 2D,  3D and animated time.
I only wish it didnt crash so often. Its the reason dont have confidence to use it often: one moment you’re typing a script, the next the app has quit.
To be fair desktop mathematica is guilty of this too, but not so often. Mathstudio crashes on my iphone 7 every 10 minutes or so. 
Mr Pomegranate please spend some time on stability.

### 4/5 — 功能强大，细节有待优化

*2021-05-06*

功能比较齐全，美中不足的是偶尔会闪退，还有矩阵运算时会把数值计算和符号计算结果混合呈现，就会出现小数和分数出现在同一个式子的情况，希望可以优化

### 3/5 — Good. But frustratingly broken in some crucial areas

*2021-02-19*

I enjoy the ease of use and ui. I also like the purple colour scheme.

My main complaints are things that I think people looking for a powerful mobile math program are likely to be frustrated by:

3D graphing of vectors: only one quadrant is displayed, the coordinate system is unable to be changed, and the zero vector coordinate is not actually in a consistent position. Their 3Dvector plot function does not even work on the website version, so it is not a question of my misuse.

Roots of odd numbered powers: the graphing of these roots seems to fail to display the negative outputs values, thus annoyingly not presenting the full graph.

Stability is also not terrific. 

All in all, I like the software for simpler things like algebraic expansion and the solving of polynomials, but would be able to love the app if I were able and I effectively graph 3D vectors in a way that doesnt have an abysmal coordinate system.

### 3/5 — Needs Improvement

*2020-11-04*

For $20, I would expect much more from the app.
While the concept is there, the delivery is subpar with regard to documentation being clunky and the UI being sparse.
Example: try to search derivative in the manual... it won’t show up. But if you search Calculus, you can find derivatives.

For a math app, the UI being sparse is good for many reasons, but where it becomes a glaring problem is the math input.
There needs to be a “pretty math” input similar to the the TI NSpire where you can easily see your complex equation in standard form rather than just a complex line of parenthesis and carrot symbols.
When dealing with multiple polynomial fractions in a single calculation, this will get ugly very quickly.
Also, when I try to do a define via := logic, the entire app crashes and closes.

### 2/5 — Worked fine prior to IOS 13

*2020-08-24*

Loved this app initially. Since the roll-out of IOS 13, the app can no longer display large matrices as the screen rendering is corrupted for a fraction of a second and the app crashes after this. Reached out to the developper; response was disappointing as the issue was not acknowledged or resolved.

### 4/5 — Bon outils, mais doc incomplète

*2020-08-21*

Facile et puissant.
Dommage, la doc des functions n est pas complète ( Vector3D manque par exemple.

### 4/5 — 会闪退

*2020-06-11*

当运行的时候有时会闪退

### 4/5 — 图片保存时要闪退呀

*2020-06-05*

希望改进

### 4/5 — Suggestions

*2020-05-10, version 8.0.2*

Dear developers,
I have a few suggestions.
1. Can we have an option to use the keyboard layout from the Mathstudio express for faster typing 
2. Can we change the theme colors, such as black theme or other color other than the default purple one.

Thank you

### 1/5 — Looked promising but incorrectly solves basic algebra

*2024-12-02*

This looked like it had most of the features I wanted from similar pricier software, but sadly it doesn’t seem reliable. When asked to solve an equation which has no solution it will give an incorrect answer instead of saying that no solution exists. An example: asking MathStudio to solve “x = x + 1” for x results in it confidently telling you the answer is 1.

### 1/5 — Fernando Bautista Meza

*2024-08-19, version 8.3*

La app se cierra constantemente en Mac y en el IPhone 14 Pro si permite trabajar, estoy haciendo interpolaciones pero apenas subo a nivel Exponencial y se cierra abruptamente…es buena app pero requiere se estabilice

### 1/5 — Be very careful, this gets the order of operations wrong

*2024-02-13*

The app gets the order of operations wrong.  For instance if I set y=3 and then ask for 1/2y, which should equal 1/6, it gives the answer 3/2.  This would be written y/2, not 1/2y in all the journals I read.  BTW, I am very experienced with mathematics, having a PhD in chemical engineering.

### 1/5 — не может посчитать половину школьных интегралов

*2021-03-25*

Например integrate(sin(x^(1/2)),x) не считается

### 1/5 — Wrong Calculation result !!!

*2021-01-24, version 8.0.2*

Please try:

Plot((1+(cos(1/x))^2)^x)
Limit((1+(cos(1/x))^2)^x,x,0)

The result are different !?

Please update and fix this problem.

### 1/5 — It seems better than WolframAlpha, but....

*2020-10-26, version 8.0.2*

Dear Sir/ Mann
This app sometimes doesn’t work, and cause to crash and let me need to reopen.
And the most important thing is that it’ll calculus the wrong value, let me so confused.....
Honestly, I  regret that the issue, hope you guys fix these problem soon

### 1/5 — Documentation

*2020-03-29*

Right after my purchases I did some trials in error using the application unfortunately not able to comprehend its purposed rover me to a conclusion to look in the applications website for manual information and what is new in 2020. - I needed to learn how the application works before trying to do my homework.

### 1/5 — Keyboard is not ideal...

*2019-02-19*

The default iOS keyboard is not efficient for this type of application... it's a major drawback. Take as an example the numeric pad in excel iOS for a much better experience.

### 1/5 — Help

*2018-06-04*

I have just downloaded this app to use specifically on my smart watch and I am unable to use because the Apple watches don’t have a keyboard and I have searched everywhere in the App Store for one. Can anyone please tell me how we use this app then without a keyboard or how I can acquire one???!

### 1/5 — Crashes on 10.5 iPad Pro

*2018-01-18*

The functionality seems to be as powerful as advertised. However, it crashes more than 20 times during my usage of 30 min on the iPad Pro.

### 5/5 — My favorite

*2025-12-24*

I’m an electrical engineer that’s been working in the field for over 33 years. This has been my favorite calculator ever. I love the way you can graph functions parametrically and vary the parameters in real time. The ability to use a time variable to animate the plots is very cool. The first version of this I purchased for my Palm Pilot years ago, and I’ve bought several versions over the years. This is great for learning beginning to highly advanced mathematical concepts. I highly recommend this for any math or would be math lover!

### 5/5 — Great alternative for mathcad on iPad

*2025-02-25*

I’m an rf designer and I use this often to solve equations.  Easy to use and straight forward.

### 5/5 — text form- pdf form -  Exporter carnets de calcul : - Sous forme de texte  - sous forme de pdf,

*2024-08-09*

Hello , je me sers beaucoup, et depuis longtemps, de MathStudio sur iphone et sur iPad comme super calculatrice scientifique d’ accès direct rapide et convivial. Je m’ en sers pour rédiger des cours de Math et de physique avec des exemples dans la foulée, j ai ainsi immédiatement des graphiques pour illustrer, et j’ ai beaucoup de texte sous forme de commentaires . Depuis toujours il manque cruellement la possibilité d’ exporter les feuilles de calcul : - Sous forme de texte ( donc sans les graphes et les tableaux encadrés) - sous forme de pdf, donc avec tout.

Hello, I have been using MathStudio a lot for a long time on iPhone and iPad as a super scientific calculator with quick and user-friendly direct access. I use it to write Math and physics lessons with examples in the process, so I immediately have graphs to illustrate, and I have a lot of text in the form of comments. It has always been sorely lacking the ability to export spreadsheets: - In text form (so without graphs and framed tables) - in pdf form, so with everything.
