### 4/5 — 使いやすい！

*2025-04-28*

勉強にもなります
でも有料とかあるから
☆4にしておきます。

### 5/5 — 很好，但是出了点问题

*2023-08-07*

字体无法导入，显示没有权限

**Developer response:** 谢谢您的反馈，下个版本里会修复。

### 4/5 — great and valuable- but a little bit uncomfortable

*2023-07-23*

when I try to copy the photo of the formula, I just pressed “default” button just like I always did, but the application just shut down and all of formulas I wrote are gone :(
It was okay until yesterday but it suddenly shuts down

and it is not really the most important one but
the size of the photo varies everytime I copy and paste the formula
I think it affects from the length of the formula

**Developer response:** I'm sorry for this issue. This bug is fixed in version 3.0.

### 5/5 — Gefällt mir gut

*2023-05-08*

Danke

### 5/5 — This is amazing. A lot of useful features. Honesty should be integrated with Apple Services.

*2023-04-10*

This is an amazing app. I made a suggestion to apple to integrate this into there services even.

### 4/5 — 改行をできるようにしてほしい......

*2022-07-24*

アプリ自体は、使いやすく機能も充実しているのですが、改行さえできれば......。

### 5/5 — Eccezionale

*2022-02-24*

Un must per chiunque abbia a che fare con facoltá scientifiche o giri intorno al mondo della matematica

### 4/5 — Please Help

*2021-08-27*

How can I add calibri

### 5/5 — Works well, exporting could be streamlined

*2021-07-27*

Great app for copying equation into other documents for notetaking. One improvement though: the image export page should support drag and drop in addition to the copy and share options

### 5/5 — 是否可以上色

*2021-04-03*

希望可以有一个导出图片的时候填色的选项

**Developer response:** 点击图片按钮后，分享按钮旁边有个信息图标的小按钮，可以选择文字和背景颜色。

### 5/5 — 改行

*2021-03-05*

改行はどうしますか？

### 5/5 — 希望增加对格式的修改

*2021-02-18*

希望可以在后续版本中更新对格式的修改，如等号处对齐，小数点处对齐，列与列行与行之间的距离多少，谢谢🙏

**Developer response:** 您的反馈已收到。在目前的版本里，如果xFormula连接蓝牙键盘，可以暂时通过键盘输入\mathcal{F}得到相应的字体。我们会在后续版本里完善这个操作。

### 1/5 — 환불받고싶어요

*2025-02-17*

실수로 잘못 결제했어요

AppStore 환불을 Google에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 자세한 환불 절차가 있을 것입니다.구매와 환불은 모두 Apple에서 처리합니다.

### 1/5 — Crashes frequently

*2021-10-02*

unusable - waste of $5

### 1/5 — This is terrible

*2020-12-05*

I have been attempting to use this for a math related paper and I have found that every moment I use this beningted app I am developing grey hair. You cannot seem to place a squared sign anywhere

### 2/5 — Not Free

*2025-07-12*

This app is free to download but if you actually want to use it, you have to pay a minimum of a $7 subscription, utterly useless otherwise. In the “free” version you can only type less than 10 characters. Do better.

### 2/5 — Help

*2023-07-24*

Why I can’t add font?

**Developer response:** This bug will be fixed in the next version.

### 3/5 — Boo to the “plans”

*2024-10-02*

I really liked this app and thought it was a good buy, and I guess it’s not my fault for not fully looking at each plan but why is it set up that you can only use u dear 10 characters for the $5 plan. For the $9 plan is it just the app and not the keyboard? That’s just wild to me because what math/scientific equation is under 10 characters?

**Developer response:** $5 & $9 plan have no characters limit. Only Experience mode has 10 characters limit. Maybe the In App Purchase Product Description is not clear, Thank you for your more suggestion about description. :-)

### 3/5 — Peccato che la versione full non funzioni su diversi dispositivi

*2021-08-09*

Lo uso da poco su Mac. È un app carina ed efficace. Su Mac ho la versione full, peccato che non lo sia anche su iPhone. 5 stelle se verrà inserita la portabilità.
Per il resto tutto ok

### 3/5 — Ohne VIP Ticket nicht sinnvoll

*2021-04-20*

Programm mag nett sein, aber ich konnte nicht mal eine Ebenengleichung vollständig eingeben, bevor ich zur Kasse gebeten wurde. 

Warum das Programm dann kostenlos anbieten, wenn man es nicht mal sinnvoll testen kann, bevor man zum Kauf gezwungen wird....?!

Die paar Eingaben, die gingen, schienen auf sinnvolle Eingabemöglichkeiten hinzudeuten.

### 3/5 — Buon editor ma deve migliorare

*2021-02-04*

Dovete assolutamente :
consentire di andare a capo quando si vuole e non di dover preimpostare in origine le righe in verticale
Consentire di evidenziare parti della formula con colore o altro per rendere più semplici i raggruppamenti e l’esecuzione delle operazioni 
Consentire il salvataggio e la condivisione più facilmente, in pdf ad esempio. Il formato del file spesso non viene letto ed a stampare esce dai margini l’immagine.
Provvedete per favore, per i disgrafici questa app può essere un grande aiuto ma non deve essere monca!
Vi aspettano le 5 stelle!

### 3/5 — Meh

*2020-04-17*

Quite good but I use this app for school and I can’t write all expressions because I haven’t got the VIP version, I think that’s useless because some student can’t buy it and the app without it (VIP version) is useless

### 5/5 — Honestly the only good formula app I can find

*2026-08-19*

Really intuitive to use and perfect for taking notes. Just don’t try highlighting things that don’t make sense to highlight.

### 5/5 — Exelent

*2025-03-01*

Honest app ever.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your appreciation of xFormula! :-)

### 5/5 — Great! Needs minor tweaks.

*2025-02-25*

Can you please add the ability to hide/minimize the keyboard?

请允许隐藏或最小化键盘！

**Developer response:** This will be done in future versions. Thank you for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Request for discount

*2025-01-30*

Please put a discount on your app :)
It would be great to have Pro features with 75% for example 🫠🫣

### 5/5 — Great! Needs minor tweaks.

*2024-10-03*

Can you please add the ability to hide/minimize the keyboard? Ability to draw geometric figures would take it to a next level!

### 5/5 — I love this equation editor

*2024-09-25*

Helped me a lot! Much improved with the new export options!

### 5/5 — Request a bug fix

*2024-02-24*

Unable to import 24,02,2024

**Developer response:** The issue of formula library not being able to be imported has been fixed in version 3.0. Thank you for your feedback.

### 5/5 — Simple and works well

*2023-12-26*

This is a very straightforward way to write mathematical equations and expressions which can be copied either as images or in latex form. The images can be varied in size. The learning curve for the use of the app is short. A huge range of symbols are catered for. I hVe not been using the app for long, but I am very pleased.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-11-29*

It is just what I need to create formulas in google docs on an iPad. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Application!!!

*2023-11-22*

Great for writing and editing even the most complex equations. Would sincerely recommend…
