5/5Simply amazing!
This app was god sent when I was struggling to find a way to check my work, understand the material and how to “get there”. Other apps were limited in offering comprehensive solutions, would not offer one or worse, would come up with answers that would make you question what you were doing. Not this app! It gave me the option to choose from a vast list of options on how you’d like the problem solved (graph functions, asymptotes, critical, inflection points, local absolute min/max, x,y intercepts, slope, log, 1,2,3..derivatives, etc, etc, etc). I went from fearing the “Check answer” button to being confident my work was right because it was backed up by Mathway’s answers, which were spot on. I started seeing a lot more “Correct” responses and more 100% results. A “must have” in your toolbox (free or not). I truly believe that the few negative reviewers in here don’t understand the app’s potential or simply expect it to do 100% of their work, with 0% effort on their part...

5/5Reviewing solutions
I give this an easy 5 stars 👌🏽👌🏽 I first found mathway in middle school in 6th grade I believe and it was amazing. I always kept it on my phone and it was a MUST HAVE math app. But the difference between now and then (I’m a sophomore now btw) is that it used to have free answer solutions. And since my parents won’t pay for the subscription and I don’t work I can’t see the answers that I need. All of my math teachers so far are my favorites because if I don’t understand something they will explain it to me in detail. But if I have math homework and I can’t figure something out, finding a way to by using one of the best apps I’ve ever used. Yes I can ask my teacher the next day in class but I like math because you have a chance to be assertive, I wanna find the answer out my myself and using an app helps me do so. ⭐️ So I would like to propose an idea that would allow however many days that you decide, free to see the work answers. I don’t use the apps a lot so I don’t know if you do that already, or if u have the app free over the summer (because one summer years ago I used it for IXL on the computer) but I would like for that to be a thing. Maybe 2 days out of the month? Twice every month or so and you have notifications telling when the next free date is coming up. Or per say you give us 4 days are free (and with a limited amount of 5 problems that day). So we can choose our own day to use our free “Tap to view tutorial” with an AD or something? That would be very much appreciated😊. ⭐️ But otherwise please keep up the good work in finding more solutions and better answers to problems, I would love to see something of my proposal come into play so I can do my homework much easier. I do use Photomath as well but I prefer mathway 😉. I give this an easy 5 stars 👌🏽👌🏽

4/5It works but the full version hasn’t for me
I have been using this a lot this semester so I decided to pay for the monthly subscription then I could cancel the membership at the end of the semester, but it doesn’t even work. The subscription shows in my subscriptions list in my settings but I still can’t view the steps, and when I attempt to see how the problem is solved it brings me to the menu to subscribe to the paid part of the app. Honestly though, other than that. This app works pretty great, solves problems the right way and you can select the method of how you want the problem solved. You can change what kind of math you are trying to solve, and the answers are pretty spot on. The predictive text is even really good on this, it’ll help solve word problems and you kind of don’t em have to type anything in sometimes. However, the keyboard is very buggy and you can’t type very fast. It’s also kind of hard to navigate as there are like 4 different keyboard menus to choose from, I always forget where to find things and it kind of takes a while to load the text sometimes. But it does solve the problems.

1/5Good Content, Lousy Customer Care
I am extremely disappointed with the Mathway company and would advise anyone considering upgrading in order to receive step-by-step instructions to add a reminder to your calendar to cancel your monthly subscription at the end of the time you need it. Mathway will only send you one email receipt/invoice at the time of your initial payment. After that, they will never alert you to the fact that you are still paying for their monthly service during the summertime when you have no need for it. You could easily end up spending up to $120 for yearly access without realizing it. Perhaps I should go over my credit card bills with a fine-tooth comb every month, but I would prefer to work with companies who don’t want to take advantage of my busy lifestyle as a mom of 5 kids just trying to survive raising them. When I brought this matter to their attention, they refused to upgrade my account to an annual subscription even though my payments had already exceeded the cost of one. It’s too bad that they are not a company with better customer care because I found the math support to be very helpful.
