Read full description

Free to start — and the free part is genuinely useful. Get 5 solved problems with no signup or card, plus a free graphing calculator and lesson library for Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Your child says, “I don't get it.” You look at the worksheet and realize you don't remember how to explain it either. And now you're wondering: Is my child starting to fall behind? Math builds on what came before. When one concept doesn't click, the next lesson can feel harder — and confidence can disappear right along with it. Tools like this didn't exist for most of us growing up. Your child has that advantage now — and the future will demand even stronger math skills. Start with one problem tonight. Type in the problem. Sit beside your child. Luvy walks both of you through every step, every rule, and the why behind it in plain English. The best part? You can learn too. WHO IT'S FOR The parent staring at a worksheet thinking, “I used to know this.” The child who has started saying, “I'm just bad at math.” The homeschool parent trying to explain a lesson one more way. The adult learner finally ready to make peace with math. Because sometimes the child isn't the only person at the table who needs the lesson explained differently. HOW IT WORKS Type your math problem and Luvy — your friendly bear tutor — works through it in plain English so you can follow what changed and why. Not just the answer. The understanding. It's 7:30 on a school night and the worksheet says: 3(2x − 4) = 2(x + 6) Nobody at the table remembers how to start. Type it in. Luvy expands the brackets, gathers the x's onto one side, explains each move, solves for x, and, when applicable, checks the result against the original problem. That's the moment LuvyMath was built for. WHAT LUVY COVERS • Arithmetic • Pre-Algebra • Fractions & Decimals • Algebra I & Algebra II • Geometry • Trigonometry • Pre-Calculus • Calculus • Statistics • Linear Algebra • Differential Equations • Word Problems BUILT FOR UNDERSTANDING — NOT JUST ANSWERS AI is the engine, but teaching is the design. Luvy works through your exact problem, names the rule behind each move, and explains the why in plain English. The goal isn't just an answer — it's understanding how the answer was reached. FREE GRAPHING CALCULATOR A built-in graphing calculator is included for everyone — graph equations and explore functions. LEARN WITH LUVY — FREE The lesson library includes Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, with worked examples, memory tips, and practice problems. No subscription required. Work through a lesson together and actually teach — not just hand over the answer. PHOTOGRAPH A MATH PROBLEM — UNLIMITED Point your camera at a worksheet, textbook, or handwritten problem and Luvy reads the math for you. Photos are processed on-device using Apple's Vision framework — never uploaded. CHOOSE YOUR PLAN • Free Preview — 5 solved problems. No signup, no card. • Basic — 15 problems a day, all 12 subjects, step-by-step solutions, and problem history. • Unlimited — no daily limit, plus camera scanning and advanced why explanations. Your daily count is visible where you solve and resets at midnight. Lessons never use up solved problems. REAL TUTORING SUPPORT BETWEEN HOMEWORK NIGHTS LuvyMath keeps learning available between classes, tutoring sessions, and school nights. Already have a tutor? Luvy can help keep the learning going between sessions. Math gets harder when the foundation isn't clear. Confidence gets harder to rebuild after a child starts believing they're simply “not good at math.” Sit down together tonight. Let Luvy explain the step you forgot, the rule your child missed, and the why that finally makes it click. PRIVACY FIRST Problem history stays on your device. No ads. No tracking. No data sold.
