Symbolab - AI Math Solver App

I can’t say enough good things about this app. I’ve been helping my step-daughter with her college calculus class, and this has been a lifesaver. The time her exams allow for each problem are simply not long enough to do the problems longhand, but with Symbolab they’re a snap. You still need to understand the concepts and which parts of the app to use, but once you’re there, the results are nothing short of amazing. It’s very intuitive to use, and I love how the results are offered in an “exact” format (like an answer with fractions) and where appropriate, a numerical format (like an answer rounded to the nearest hundredth), since sometimes homework and/or quizzes and exams ask for one or the other. I feel like the developer should be getting more than what this app sells for, in light of what a huge difference it makes.

I have used this App on and off for the last 5, almost 6 years. It has proven time and time again to be an awesome resource and tool, and the user interface WAS perfect; very simple to use. I guess this past September (2021) the developers decided to change the App a bit more than the usual bug fixes, which could have been great! Maybe they would make imputing partial derivatives easier, or include some additional resources for particularly difficult problems…. No, they decided to change the awesome interface into some clunky pre smartphone calculator. The interface used to be fairly intuitive, and coming back to the app would only require a minute or so to gain one’s bearings, but now I can hardly figure out where anything is! Why would they do this to long time users—can we at least have the option of using the previous keyboard? Honestly I love this app, it’s gotten me out of some serious binds over the years when my homework got a little too beyond me, or I needed some quick review, but the love has faded. I really hope that I’m the only one who is experiencing this much trouble because I’d love to see Symbolab’s continued use and success, but I’m ready to drop it entirely. I don’t have the heart to give it any less than 4 stars because of all the help it has given me over the years, but I currently do not see it as a five star app. In 8 years of using smart devices, I have never once left a review on the AppStore, but this was the only way I could hope to express how I felt about the situation, and quite frankly the only App I found worth spending the time on. If developers are reading, thanks for taking the time. -Doug

I appreciate the face that Symbolab actually tries to improve their product and I would hope that they can go further with step by step translations of how to solve calculus, differential equations, and several other complex items. One can always buy maple, mat lab and several other programs but the difference is have the software go step by step in order to comprehend the problems. The Autodesk, the Adobe, Wolfram, are subscription based systems for students is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reason those two are so full of fecal matter is the fact that the student who really wants to comprehend what is going on may not be able to afford a tutor. Wolfram is trying to rip off students by charging for the actual time it takes to solve the question or equation given. But these idiots then sit there and say it is taking to long to calculate the equation or question ***—> Look here Wolfram, not everyone is connected on the internet at the fiber optic levels and billing me or more accurately telling me I need to buy a second student subscription to perform the calculation is BS TOO!!!!!!!!!! Therefore it is the responsibility of companies like Symbolab to step up and move forward translating the most complex mathematical items. I hope Symbolab steps it up and moves the translation process forward cause if they do I will continue to subscribe. If they do not step up the process I will simply use Symbolab until I find a program that can work in helping me understand how to solve the equations. We are here to learn so it is up to the software boys to step up their game as not everyone can afford a tutor. Your Move.
