I am having some issues with differential equations. At first I did get some help, but I am seeing less and less success with the app. I have family that is sick and don’t always have the ability to be in person for tutoring. I am growing impatient with the lack of help in calculus. ### 2/5 — Getting Help Options *2023-01-25, version 5.0.8* When given the option on how exactly you need help, I wish there was an option that says you know how to start but cannot finish on your own ### 2/5 — Lazy writing tutors. Tutors are just bots in general *2022-11-01, version 5.0.7* I sent a 5 page essay, explaining the topic, what story it is, and telling them that I need help on it. I waited 2 days to get my results back, the only thing I got is “sadness is not a tone” out of the 5 page essay I needed help on… 2 days just to get that back and that “tutor” probably didn’t read the story… also needed help on some stats homework and I literally got the same responses from these “tutors” even with different questions ### 4/5 — High Potential with Little Flaws — Building Up This Bigger Issue *2022-07-05, version 5.0.3* PhotoStudy, unlike any other tutoring app, allows students the chance to see their answer(s) at the end instead of just waiting for the student themselves to solve it. This, in many ways, can be beneficial or harmful depending on the usage. However, if there is one thing to complain about, it is the time limit. I have no idea why there is a time limit — making the tutor having to work extra fast with little time to obviously explain and the student just sitting there. There could be some interaction in my opinion, if you’re gonna include a time limit at the very least. But no. The tutors unfortunately sound very much like the bots themselves and if you ask them a question, it does not get answered until all of the CnPed parts are down. Why that matters more than the question at hand is a big concern too. I would like to thank them for allowing me to test the app though! I definitely think you all have potential, it’s just that these little flaws build up this bigger issue. ### 2/5 — Include Python live help!! *2022-01-27, version 4.6.11* I need help whenever im stuck in programming/computer science it would be really helpful if this app had live computer science help ### 2/5 — They should have computer science help *2022-01-27, version 4.6.11* Where is the computer science help? There’s only some Java basics but no programming help? It’s really convenient to get programming help especially since we get stuck on homework a lot and our program doesn’t run sometimes so it’s really helpful if someone was there to help ### 1/5 — DONT GET *2021-11-10, version 4.6.7* will pretend like it doesn’t cost money but will charge you ruined my grades ### 1/5 — Fake!! *2021-10-07, version 4.6.5* This app does absolutely nothing! When I took a picture of my question to get an answer, it didn’t even say the answer at all! ### 1/5 — Expensive *2021-10-01, version 4.6.5* Cost too high ### 5/5 — Very nice *2021-08-06, version 4.6.3* Very nice and well explanation 👍🏻👍🏻 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Could not ask a question even though I had 4 credits *2023-11-15, version 5.0.9* I had 4 credits left and I kept clicking on the button but it would not let and said that the Tutors were not available ### 1/5 — Ask Now Button *2023-10-21, version 5.0.8* When I press the "Ask Now" button to ask a question, the app closes. I have not been able to ask any questions because of this. ### 1/5 — Sessions *2023-10-12, version 5.0.8* You don’t get the sessions you pay for, but It’s a great help, especially with math. I just feel like I be wasting my money on things I don’t have access to. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-05-31, version 5.0.8* This app won’t solve any problems for you. It doesn’t have the common decency to include voltage and current in its functions. Do not download. ### 1/5 — Too long *2023-05-17, version 5.0.8* They take from 10 to 20 minutes to help you with simple, algebra problems that my math teacher explains and five it’s the most ridiculous thing ever and there’s some experts that don’t even know how to solve algebra problems. ### 1/5 — “Expert” tutors *2022-02-17, version 4.6.11* They take 10 minutes out of your time just for you to get a question wrong and they don’t even solve it correctly. Just use quizlet to get answers or something ### 1/5 — horrible *2022-02-12, version 4.6.11* never have made a google review but when you literally waste 5$ for one question and he gets it wrong is so stupid? ### 1/5 — Horrible!! *2022-01-11, version 4.6.9* This app is terrible I don’t think anyone should g we this the bar where it said it will be charged to chat was to small I couldn’t see and when I tried to hit the button it charged make the button bigger !! ### 1/5 — 🤮👎👎👎 *2021-12-12, version 4.6.8* Used to be good now your in for the money and only money ### 1/5 — Cant use due error *2021-12-01, version 4.6.8* Why i can not register. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app overall *2025-02-27, version 5.0.13* Even though it’s pricey it’s definitely worth the money to understand the subject u are learning about. ### 5/5 — Best app *2023-04-09, version 5.0.8* The app helps me so much I don’t always have a Tudor or a teacher to show me the details step by step and how to get the answer and the experts are great . Only problem I have is that some 1 out of 10 experts may not know the answer but if they don’t you get your refund til they find someone who does . I strongly recommend this if you need help with math , history, science, and essays , I’m going to keep this app forever! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-04-01, version 5.0.8* This app is amazing, I’ve been truly using it for 2 years now & it’s been helping me get through assignments & quizzes, It also works great if you’re pressing for time & an may assignment or quiz is do. The live experts are literally great at what they do, they help you slice & get the correct answers every time. ### 5/5 — amazing app!! *2023-03-17, version 5.0.8* amazing app!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2023-02-21, version 5.0.8* Good design. This app helped me a lot! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-02-17, version 5.0.8* I love this app, the expert is very nice ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-02-15, version 5.0.8* This is my first time using this app and it was amazing ### 5/5 — Photostudy *2023-01-30, version 5.0.8* Helpful for algebra! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2022-10-12, version 5.0.7* The people on here really try their bests to work around what you know and try to help you understand the concepts, I don’t have to pay for it so I have no idea what it’s like when you have it for free since my school provides this app for me. If you’re questioning whether it’s worth your cash or time I would say it is! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2021-10-26, version 4.6.5* I would recommend to someone that needs help with homework --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
