Honest thoughts

This app is very mid in my opinion, I’m currently in college and was using the app to proff my work. Every other question however requires you to have the plus membership in order for the app to explain. Even with the subscription often times the explanation wouldn’t load or the app wouldn’t recognize the question you’re taking a photo of and just reference some other ai generated question. All together I only found this app useful for graphing equations and even then you’re not able to plug in more that one at a time. Just use the snap chat ai honestly
