Keeps changing variables

I can’t get most of these right because the answer has at least one different variable than in the problem. For example: 12+5(-12y-9) should be expanded to -60y-33. The “correct” answer: -60x-33.

I reached out to service on this issue and nothing has been done to fix it.

Why is the subscription mandatory?!

Except for one detail this app is perfect in my opinion. I just want to know why the subscription is mandatory. And after that this app will be perfect (in my opinion)

Great app just wish it had Apple Pencil support!

Great app, just wish it had support for Apple Pencil so I could do my work on app.

Returned to School, Made an A in Cal I

This service has been the single saving grace in my life for school. I have practiced around about two hours a day after work for a year before returning to school last spring (on the computer using their webapp). I hadn’t done math since high school (7 years ago) and barely passed precal. This app has given me a new confidence in math that I have never had in my life. Thank you Symbolab developers! Definitely worth the subscription!

Can’t sign up

I tried signing up multiple times but it keeps showing the loading thing for minutes and won’t let me make an account

No landscape orientation!

On the IPad versions of the app there is no landscape orientation, this means that I need to take the IPad out of the keyboard to use the app. This is incredibly inconvenient and it also means I can’t have this app and a note taking app open at the same time. Please fix this and I will amend my review.

This app is not free

This app is unusable without paying for a subscription.
Don’t make the mistake if downloading it, unless you’re wanting to spend money.
They give you access to one (very simple) question per topic, and then block you from any others.

Does not rotate to landscape!

This app does not rotate to landscape orientation on iPad! It's stuck in portrait orientation, which makes it essentially unusable with a physical iPad keyboard. This issue does not exist in the Symbolab calculator app, only here, so I can't imagine it's impossible to implement. The website isn't a valid alternative on iPad either because keypresses are oddly staggered, each keypress registering the previous, which makes it almost unusable. Please fix this, Symbolab!

Problem with input boxes on iPad

And no hint, and correct answer marked wrongly. Should be able to see actual answer after attempting quiz questions.

Edit: I take this back. Input boxes work. And multiple ways of writing fractions are accepted, I tested this, and the camera recognition for handwriting works. There was one odd question in the first differentiation quiz which was ignored and I got marked 5/5?… even if it said incorrect?… plz check this.

Edit 2: the app never displays hints.

Fix it

Paid for the premium subscription for the year. Great apps. I have all three. Please fix the “hint” link in the practice. Can’t click on “next hint” and nothing shows up for original hint, only a blank screen.

Love it great for schoolwork

This app is great for my schoolwork explains everything.

Hints are broken

Hints are blank whenever you try to use them.

Sad

What’s the point making it free if you are hit with an unavoidable pay wall?

And also the only other review I can see is a bot

Good but Must pay

This app is amazing if u pay the $1.50 (I think) per month but if u don’t than forget about it, I recommend to those who pay (not me)😢

Amazing for any math level

I’m a grad student returning to school- it’s been 13 years since I took Calculus 2 and this service is invaluable to me learning/remembering old math rules and identities I’ve forgotten. Thank you for helping me achieve something I might not be able to without your help!

If anyone has had a year or more of poor teacher-skills or is struggling because you can’t remember some things, subscribing to see the step-by-step is ENORMOUSLY helpful!
