### 4/5 — .

*2026-02-04, version 3.0.2*

nice apps, hopefully you can add definit integration sign

### 4/5 — Very good but alpha keyboard is not in QWERTY layout and I can’t type ∛, otherwise I’d give it 5

*2025-12-19*

4 (stars)

### 4/5 — Vectors?

*2024-10-08*

It is said can write vectors, but besides
 x vector, I have not seen any other vector.

### 3/5 — Problème indice et exposant

*2023-05-22*

Certaines touches ( surtout des lettres) ne peuvent se mettre en indice ou exposant.Malgré l’utilisation de la touche superScr ou subScr ce qui est vraiment génant d’autant que par ailleurs l’application est très professionnelle.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2023-03-03, version 3.0.2*

The only problem I’m having is that I can’t put in a subscript in to a formula. Please help.

### 4/5 — Great keyboard, couple features requested

*2022-01-03*

I like this keyboard a lot. It has most of the symbols I need. Some symbols I wish could be extracted. For example, inverse trig functions is just the letters and a superscript -1 exponent, so superscript could just be one symbol. Other square roots would be nice. Also, the alpha symbol is super small. Can that be fixed? It’s not legible due to it’s size.

Lastly, can you add a favorites section? It would make using the keyboard easier. Thanks for the app.

### 2/5 — not very good

*2021-06-26*

i can not write y and z as subscripts

### 4/5 — Almost exactly what I need

*2020-07-04*

Very useful and easy to use but it currently doesn’t include the nabla, also known as del (upside down triangle) operator symbol or the Laplacian (upside down triangle with superscript 2) that I need for vector calculus.

### 2/5 — No integration symbol

*2020-06-18*

I tried this app because I wanted one that worked well with the iPad, and it does. However, there is no integration symbol, and d/dx I can just type manually, so why is that even there?

Even the free iPhone math keyboard app has this symbol.

Not worth paying for, in my opinion.

**Developer response:** there is an integration symbol, its in the first tab (123)

### 5/5 — 🏅highly recommend it

*2020-05-05, version 2.9.4*

### 5/5 — Amazing

Thêm bàn phím Math keyboard vào bàn phím rồi mà không thấy hiển thị khi đồi bàn phím.

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2024-10-02*

I followed the on screen instructions and unfortunately it wouldn’t allow me to use the keyboard. If anyone else had this problem and figured a way to make it work let me know.

### 1/5 — Out of scale on iPad 10

*2024-07-18*

Out of scale on iPad 10

### 1/5 — Math typeboard extension does not show

*2024-06-02, version 3.0.2*

After downloading and upon opening you will receive a step-by-step that shows you how to activate the keyboard. However, no keyboard will actually be visible. Don’t waste your money on this app.

### 1/5 — Incompleta

*2024-02-29, version 3.0.2*

non è possibile scrivere le frazioni se non quelle pre impostate….o sono io che non so fare? Se non si può, non mi serve a nulla….

### 1/5 — Viel zu wenige Zeichen

*2023-11-26, version 3.0.2*

Leider fehlen die Hochzahlen.
Auch sonst fehlen einige

*2022-09-05, version 3.0.2*

WILL NOT LET ME USE KEYBOARD ON IPAD DO NOT BUY

*2020-01-04, version 2.9*

Верните деньги 
Люди не Качайте!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent math input method

*2026-02-17*

Excellent math input method. Someone reported that you cannot write y and z as subscripts. But y and z don’t have code points in Unicode for subscripts. It’s not this app’s fault

### 5/5 — ½+¼+⅛+(½·⅛)+...=1

*2025-11-16*

I wrote the following review 6 years ago when the app was a welcomed addition to my workflow. Unfortunately, the app has become more buggy in that time and has not been updated in 4 years. I think we can assume the developers have abandoned the app.

“Great keyboard for math and physics teachers and students. I have noticed a less than optimal behavior with respect to superscripts and subscripts. Not all symbols render. For example, I can display U₁ but not Ug. The number 1 displays as a true subscript. But the g is a regular lower case g. Perhaps the developers reasoned that a regular lower case g looks close enough to a subscript g. But as a physics instructor, this is less than optimal. It would be great if the developers would look at this and consider expanding the subscript functionality.”

### 5/5 — Работает

*2025-05-25, version 3.0.2*

Нужно включить через настройки Основные - Клавиатура - Новая - Мат символы
Затем при наборе текста переключать клавиатуры зажатием глобуса

### 5/5 — !!!Rabotaet!!!

*2025-04-25, version 3.0.2*

Все работает, не сразу нашла  степени и корни (3,…), shift+2. SUPER

### 5/5 — Best Keyboard

*2025-01-25*

it’s free and easy to use! What else do I need to say?

### 5/5 — Great but add a golden ratio sign

*2024-01-14, version 3.0.2*

So i was using this app and really enjoyed it until I saw a new symbol on YouTube it was the golden ratio and I looked at the keyboard and there wasn’t a golden ratio sign so I went to tabs on chrome and copy & pasted the golden ratio “𝞅” so please add this. And is good btw

### 5/5 — I just bought it

*2023-12-17*

You can type a problem but it doesn’t give you results, does it?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-05-21, version 3.0.1*

Makes looking up and sending mathematical symbols so much easier when communicating with peers and researching on the internet mathematical expressions for questions of interest.

### 5/5 — Great for passwords

*2021-05-05*

I use it for passwords, the only trick is remembering them.

### 5/5 — Macht was es soll

*2021-03-10, version 2.9.6*

Gibt nicht viel mehr zu sagen
