### 2/5 — No Theta?

*2022-12-13*

I would love a theta key or just a Greek keyboard in general. Without it it kinda makes the app irrelevant past trig

### 2/5 — Horrifying UI

*2020-12-06, version 2.5.0*

The app’s interface will not work with our device’s keyboard - it has to be the app’s built-in keypads.  It feels like an app built ages ago (when physical keyboard didn’t exist for iOS), and its UI never get any update since.

Developer’s website works better with our keyboard, but often get our input key wrong (buggy), and zoom/pan are unnecessary difficult for our modern age (another UI issue).

I hope developer will clean up the bad UI one day to unlock the good value underneath.  It is hard to generate monthly subscription like this.

### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2019-11-08*

Not optimized for iPad, and tons of other issues. This developer doesn’t care about improving the app.

### 2/5 — Coordinates

*2019-02-20*

It doesn’t show the coordinates on the graph which is a real road block into my work.

### 3/5 — Nothing like the website ... wish it was

*2018-12-03*

If only the mobile ap could be more like the website. The ap is very restrictive and does not offer the same information as the site. I did not like that I had to download two different aps and still only got a fraction of the website’s functionality. And the keyboard disappearing is irritating

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2018-10-30*

Doesn’t show the correct answers

**Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for you commnet. Please contact us at support@symbolab.com so we can look into this.

### 1/5 — Symbolab doesn’t work

*2025-02-10*

This app is suchs i doesn’t help you im trying to scan the problem but the app is just show up blank graphic i recommend you research for another app this one is so bad.

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service

*2024-03-01*

They won’t get back to you.

I suggest you don’t buy any apps from Symbolab.

### 1/5 — Help me

*2023-10-05*

Am I the only one that doesn’t see anything once I type an equation?

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2023-03-24*

Literally doesn’t work 99% of the time. Every time I take the picture it shows me a blank screen  :( bummer

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2023-01-31*

If you have any graphing needs or want to graph your own equations on here, search for another app. This one doesn't work at all, whenever you type in an equation or try to scan your problem you're only shown a blank graph and nothing else. All the buttons seem to work but your graph won't show up and you'll be forced to turn to another app

### 1/5 — Worst

*2021-09-20*

Worst app ever

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2019-11-17*

Can even use because once you go to your account settings you can’t return to any of the app’s home screens. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — No functions

*2019-04-17, version 1.1.0*

So it doesn’t work well or at all. You can’t click on points to determine what they are. It’s just lines basically. I need to know where they intersect. Also coming from Symbolab (which I LOVE) it doesn’t end up showing the actual graph or anything.

### 1/5 — ADD CUBE ROOT

*2018-11-27*

Pls add cube root!!

### 1/5 — Broken for IOS9.3.5

*2018-11-03*

Works ok 1st time after installation. However, once terminated and rerun, the calculator keyboard gets lost off screen with no means of retrieval. 100% repeatable. App is useless if you have an older iPad running 9.3.5.

**Developer response:** Hi, we are working to resolve this in the coming version

### 5/5 — Useful

*2023-12-12, version 2.14.0*

Way ahead of anything similar but it would be nice to have a dark mode like on desktop

### 5/5 — Poop

*2023-07-10*

Crazy butt

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-03-14*

Yesssss

### 5/5 — Really cool ngl

*2021-01-07, version 2.7.0*

Very easy and instinctive to use, I was fascinated by the feature that allowed to manipulate the coefficients of different terms in a polynomial using a play button &/ drag on a scale for each one. Runs smoothly, most certainly satisfied, and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

### 5/5 — This is great but I have one suggestion

*2020-10-31*

For the graph you should be able to plot points and you will be able connect the points

### 5/5 — Life saver!!!

*2019-08-30*

I’m in PreCalculus and have recommended this app to my whole class!!! It’s really helpful not just for my work but better for me bc I have really poor sight! Not to mention I can zoom in and out, have a table of values ready, and I can find coordinates! I just discovered this app and I have a subscription to SymboLab-it’s a sister app to this one that shows you step by step how to solve problems of nearly any math. I know I wrote an essay here but I love these apps! Also like how I can save a problem to a “notebook” in these apps. 
Much love, Tori

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-02-09, version 1.1.0*

This app has really made solving my math work easy and I would recommend it to everyone

### 5/5 — Love it so much

*2018-12-04, version 1.1.0*

Really love this beautiful app! Could be more beautiful

### 4/5 — Decent.

*2019-07-17*

It's decent. I used it for a bit, and it might be of some use to me. Might send an update review if I see any issues.

### 3/5 — ok

*2023-01-12*

pretty much yeah
