They did give me a refund, but I’m afraid they will do it again. ### 2/5 — Not helpful w/ Trigonometry & Calculus *2026-05-27, version 5.14.2* Sadly , this app needs tremendous improvements and updates regarding (Trigonometry & Calculus). The BEST apps for advanced math or college math are: (Chat-GPT Plus) & (Gemini-Pro). They’re both incredible with all math problems and superior than all other apps. Spend your $$ money on a subscription to these two other apps if you truly want correct answers and actual math help. Maybe one day this app will compare, but as of (May 2026), I highly suggest you pay for Chat-GPT Plus or Gemini-Pro for real personal tutor-like AI math help. ### 3/5 — Does what it should, with spying? *2026-03-15, version 5.13.0* Fantastically helpful, yes. Camera to graphing is great. Then an ad appeared, and turned on the camera for no apparent reason. Bad move. ### 1/5 — bad *2026-02-23, version 5.13.0* it doesn’t do anything ### 1/5 — Sign in every time *2026-02-23, version 5.13.0* Keeps making me sign in everytime I open the app and is so annoying. It used to not do it but has been constantly recently. I pay for a subscription so you’d think it’d stay logged in and not make make have to sign in multiples times ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-02-22, version 5.13.0* This app always doesn’t detect my math problem and says something went wrong, this app belongs in the trash 0/10 ### 1/5 — Cookies *2026-02-17, version 5.13.0* App is completely fine but the cookies image keeps popping up in front of the answers and I can’t reject the cookies. The image just doesn’t go away so I can’t get answers. ### 2/5 — Cookies button *2026-02-17, version 5.13.0* Bro fix the cookies button it covers my answer ### 1/5 — Helpful but annoying *2026-02-17, version 5.13.0* Constantly having to sign in after a short period! Signing in can be a pain because it won”t accept your password but eventually works after like 4-5 tries! UNACCEPTABLE! Some problems are unable to solve- I pay for this app and other apps solve it no problem. I’m ditching this app. HORRIBLE. ### 1/5 — Deleting Mathway forever. *2026-02-16, version 5.13.0* The app worked fine until it started asking me questions about “cookies” and would not go away. I can’t even get my results from my equations because the question pop up add keeps blocking them. Deleting the app. Never trying it again. FIX THE ISSUE. ### 1/5 — cookies *2026-02-15, version 5.13.0* the cookies thing blocks my answer. annoying!! ### 4/5 — Decent *2026-02-14, version 5.13.0* I like this app but jeez is the dang cookie button annoying. For some reason I can’t get it to go away and it covers the first part of every answer. ### 1/5 — Dumb design *2026-02-14, version 5.13.0* The cookies button is blocking the answer unless you pay for the subscription smh ### 2/5 — What Happened? Trash Now *2026-02-13, version 5.13.0* I used to love Mathway. However, since I started using it again, it asks you to sign in each and every time I leave to another screen and comeback. How annoying and frustrating. Especially for $10 bucks a month. It’s ridiculous. Not to mention that half the time it “can’t find a solution”. Not worth it!!! To many other ones out there that’s cheaper and more reliable. Good luck! ### 1/5 — REMOVE COOKIE BUTTON *2026-02-12, version 5.13.0* The cookie button is covering the answer no matter what. I’ve used this app for years but now no longer can use it. Will be finding another app since this seems to be something that won’t be addressed as it’s been there for days. ### 1/5 — THE GREEN BUTTON *2026-02-11, version 5.13.0* omg this shi is making me so angry i pay and can't see an answer BECAUSE OF THE STUPID COOKIES THING WHY IS IT LIKE THIS ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — probaly don’t get this *2026-06-30, version 5.14.2* It works 1/20 times not recommended at all so yea. ### 1/5 — Selling your data *2026-05-29, version 5.14.2* They are providing you email and passwords to malicious websites that attempt account breaches ### 1/5 — useless app *2026-05-13, version 5.14.2* never use chegg ### 1/5 — waste of time and money *2026-04-14, version 5.14.2* I paid for this app and I wish i could get my money back. I am constantly getting logged out, constantly getting an error that my image doesnt contain an equation, and my history of equations is never saved. I havent been able to use this app whatsoever, I tried reinstalling, updating, and nothing works. ### 1/5 — this sucks *2026-04-01, version 5.14.0* it literally cannot solve some problems its useless dont waste your time or money on this app ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-19, version 5.14.0* Why has Mathway stopped working?

If you're making money from ads, pay someone to make your app swifter ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I LOVE this app *2026-04-15, version 5.14.2* I LOVE THIS APP. It’s just theres ads and you have to pay mabye ### 5/5 — Finally a non-greedy math app *2026-03-24, version 5.14.0* I LOVE MATHWAY!!!! ### 5/5 — Yay *2026-01-30, version 5.13.0* Best app ever with hard math problems ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-01-27* Short and easy to use ### 5/5 — Good *2026-01-13, version 5.13.0* So good ### 5/5 — Pay for the Subscription *2026-01-11, version 5.12.0* I learned I have Dyscalculia from my school counselor. Hours of tutoring, independent study, and Kahn Acedemy was not working out for me. I was told by my counselor to try this app. I used it, told my parents and they paid for my subscription. This app literally broke down each equation step by step until I learned how to independently do the work. When we moved on to a new system of math, I just retype and it broke it down for me again. It’s been years since I used this app, so I’m assuming it still works the same as paying for the subscription allows the answer to be broken down for you. It’s worth it. ### 5/5 — excellent app! *2026-01-08, version 5.12.0* it’s such a gift to have this app, this app has helped me so so soo much in my math classes especially algebra, I’m really not the best when it comes to algebra. I personally use it to check my answers. such an amazing app! ### 5/5 — Homework sucks *2025-12-10, version 5.11.0* We all know how much homework sucks, but I promise you this app will make all of your stress simply disappear.🫠 I usually don’t write reviews because I am lowkey lazy, but I had to make one for this app. If you are in high-school or middle school this is a must! ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2025-10-08, version 5.9.2* This application is a wonderful addition to my tools when I teach students. The solutions are accurate and the steps helpful. ### 5/5 — Stuff I like and stuff to be added *2025-09-25, version 5.9.0* I like how it is a calculator. But I want steps added --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
