2024-01-08 | Sami Bou Khaled | The application is great but billing is another story!!?? I subscribed to the Universal Annual Subscription (Symbolab: Math Problem Solver), just to discover that you have been billing me on a monthly basis the amount due for the Annual subscription which is $42.64 (Google Play Store). So, since November 8, 2023 , my credit card has been debited 3 times: $42.64 * 3 = $127.92 Now I had to cancel my subscription completely and I expect a full refund. Thank you for your understand | |
2023-10-03 | Drew McNeal | App update made it difficult to navigate, definite user interface issues. Customer service is terrible. I was charged for the subscription service. On the app, it didn't recognize the paid account. Symbolab basically was dismissive, "it's not our problem, we don't care" situation. After a number of exchanges, I finally disputed the charge with my CC agency and deleted the app. Will find another one rather than invest in this one. Too bad. I had been using it as a paid subscriber for 2 years. | |
2023-09-13 | NAte Agren | 15% chance it works, 20% it falsely claims the wifi is down, 40% it works but does the wrong thing, and 25% it is clueless and doesn't work at all. Can't say what you want to do with a math problem, charges money for everything useful. Plays the loudest and most annoying sound in the world when you take a picture. Even when it works free version is useless as a learning tool bc it doesn't tell you how to do things, just shows you the answer. In other words, useless at everything except cheating. | |
2023-07-14 | Anna P | The step by step breakdown of the equations is a game changer for me. It's the handful of times when it's far off base that are vexing. Even when I try selecting the correct type of equation or fixing one that scanned incorrectly, it is sometimes still completely wrong. Those are frustrating, but given how awesome it is otherwise, it's still easily a 4.5-5 star app. I would recommend it to any College Algebra student who struggles. As a study tool, it's phenomenal! | |
2023-03-08 | Malikar _ | Inconsistent and scammy. The app itself is very easy to use, but rarely correct, and instead of telling you it doesn't know how the app just does bad math which is much worse. You can pay for a subscription to see the broken steps it uses to complete the math, but this doesn't get rid of the adds, doesn't help with the math in any way, and costs entirely way too much, not to mention this app is practically impossible to cancel. It took me well over four hours to cancel. | |
2022-08-19 | Afi Adibolo | It's a great app, i love using it and they explain things very well for me. My only problem so far though, is this really annoying shutter sound on the camera. I can't turn it off and the only solution seems to be turning off my sound in general, but i don't want to do that, as i might forget to turn it back on or it might start getting annoying. Please fix this. | |
2022-04-06 | Autumn Marinella | Hello Symbolab! This is such an amazing app! It has really helped me out with all my difficult math problems. Math used to be really hard to get through but now has become super easy and fun for me! I love that it can help you step by step and that their is three different symbolab apps to choose from. In addition, their is barely any ads and usually if you do get one it's only like 5-10 seconds. I do have one question though that is if any of the apps have simplifying included? Thank you! | |
2022-03-14 | Tim Cech | The step by step explanations really do help you not only solve the problem, but allow you to learn how to do others similar to it on your own. This app has helped so much with my math studies ranging from algebra 1 all the way to precalculus. One thing that bugs me though, when it gives you the option to check another answer to see if it's also correct, it doesn't display the other equations. A recent problem is the extremely loud shutter sound that plays no matter what settings are changed. | |
2021-05-16 | Max Martinez | I owe my A in calculus to symbolab. The fact that it breaks everything down step by step is amazing and definitely worth the relatively low subscription price. It can walk you through with very specific detail which is great both if you are trying to learn or if you simply want to pass the class and need to provide work. The camera isn't perfect and inputting the problems can be a bit tedious, but it beats any source I found online by a long shot. | |
2021-03-23 | Jarrod Hahn | I was really impressed at first. But there is no way that I could find to enter a VERTICAL LINE. I was trying to graph sets and there was no way for me to enter: " {x|x>-2} and {x|x<2}" No way at all to enter "| " on your mobile keyboard. And I can't use the android keyboard instead. Every other conceivable symbol under like 8 different symbol maps including a periodic table and not one vertical line....? Please tell me I just missed it and it's super obvious. Cause I went digging for that. |
