ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SymCalc holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SymCalc has 169 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Easy Answer (Math Homework)'s written reviews are positive against 57% of SymCalc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Easy Answer (Math Homework) ships an update every 2 weeks, SymCalc every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
