1. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

   They won’t let me cancel my subscription. Haven’t used it in well over a year and have canceled it twice already without renewing it. Then you can’t even stop the subscription from the app or the website so like what am I suppose to do with that??

2. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

   Extremely difficult to cancel.. I can’t cancel my subscription under the “manage subscription” menu. Nothing appears when I go to “manage in iTunes”. Cannot associate an email due to “network or server error” every time. Seems like this is a very common theme after reading other review. Reached out to support with no avail. Submitted a complaint on reportaproblem.apple.com. You’re better off using ChatGPT or quite frankly any other free app.

   Fraud charges. Still trying to charge after i canceled my subscription

   VERY OUTDATED app! Get a new 2025 (AI MATH APP) instead… 4 years ago this was great, but not in 2025. As a mathematics graduate student spending 5 years in college taking all advanced Calculus 1-3, Trig, & Algebraic Reasoning Theory & Proof, Adv. Stats & Probability, & all other courses….. this app is honestly bottom of the line for everything except graphing when compared to other similar AI Math Apps. I l rank this app #10 in my Top 10 Best Math Apps. It’s good for assisting with certain math content area, but horrible with others. The paid subscription on here is definitely NOT worth the money 💵 Nearly all other similar math apps (8 of 10) on my list … offer (college & high school students) actively taking math courses a DISCOUNT OF 25-60% monthly or yearly subscription plan. This app offers NO discount!! Outdated… Behind this apps paywall they definitely 💯 need to create MAJOR UPGRADES, UPDATES, & ADD UPPER LEVEL MATH COURSES, OPTIONS, STUDENT PRICING, & MORE… IF… this company or app has a MICRO CHANCE of being in business in the next 1-2 years. There are 9 different apps that HANDS-DOWN offer so much better math solving, step-by-step solutions, & can provide downloadable (LeTex or pdf) entire question-to-answer printable links 🔗 to use for hands-on practice including math notes. 5 years ago this was a top 3 app, but sadly and honestly, it’s not even a top 10 app anymore and not on any math professors recommended assistance lists as of (October 29, 2025). I haven’t seen any professors use this app in class for 2 years, but other apps they do use & recommend are unbelievably better , faster, can handle complex advanced math problems including full math proofs, and are compatible to integrate into Canvas too. Maybe the owner will have developers complete overhaul this OUTDATED app to compete with 2025 major math apps, but if not, I honestly predict this app will cease to exist or stop all future updates with 2 years. Again, 3-4 years ago this app was incredibly helpful, but as we’re 2 months away from 2026… this app is honestly similar to an old outdated (iPhone-3) as compared to (new AI math apps) that are like 2025 (iPhone-17-Pro). This app unfortunately is VERY OUTDATED, but used to be amazing 3-4 years ago! Thank you for being great 4 years ago honestly, however all outdated apps have no use in today’s incredibly amazing AI math app world that does 3 times more mathematics and cheaper monthly subscription PLUS others offer STUDENT DISCOUNT PRICE!

   Scam alert. I had this app for about 3 minutes before canceling(not an exaggeration). Needless to say I would push for a refund, but we all know that’s not happening. If it was possible to leave a zero star I would have.

6. ★★★★★other

   Bad. I did not like this app, I was taking pictures of simple questions I needed help with, also either good quality did not answer my question and tried to get me to use a plan for 1 question.

7. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

   Canceling. BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU SIGN UP! They make it absolutely impossible for you to cancel your subscription.

8. ★★★★★step-by-step explanations save learners

   Used to be great. The app used to be one of my most used apps for math, until they decided to lock steps behind a paywall.

9. ★★★★★other

   Expensive app. I feel that as students on a budget, like I am, this application is way out of my means! I have see prices in other apps and if you had the smarts you would make this app worth a dollar less at least $38.99 will not kill you

10. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    Awful. This app couldn’t provide help with any higher level math and trying to cancel the subscription was a nightmare.

11. ★★★★★wrong answers on real problems

    Wrong answers. Had to cancel immediately after WRONG answers 3X back to back .

12. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    Terrible. Won’t let me cancel subscription had to cal and they still can figure it out app gives wrong answers to anything actually difficult, recommend anything else

13. ★★★★★other

    this deserves no star. This is the worst app I use to ever cheat on it like how I’m smarter than you and I’m suppose to be cheating off of you ?

14. ★★★★★other

    Incorrect. I’m in geometry and it doesn’t work well at all…

15. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    Problems. DOES NOT TELL YOU ANSWERS DONT GET THIS WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME

16. ★★★★★other

    my personal opinion. it was useless for me

17. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    AWFUL. DO NOT BUY THE PRO SUBSCRIPTION THERE IS QUITE LITERALLY NO OPTION IN APP TO CANCEL IT!!!!!

18. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    THEY WON’T LET YOU CANCEL!!!. Long story short, don’t download this and sign up unless you wanna be paying for it for the rest of your life. They won’t let you cancel! I signed up for a subscription to Symbolab when I was in college so that I could take advantage of the extra features. Well I recently graduated and don’t need the subscription anymore. I’ve been trying to cancel for several months now, but every time I log into my account and try to change my subscription, it gives me an error. I’ve tried contacting their support line, but they don’t respond. And they continue to charge me every month.

19. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    IF YOU TRY TO CANCEL THEY LITERALLY WILL NOT LET YOU WHETHER ITS IN THE APP OR WHEN YOU CONTACT THEM. I’ve been trying to get my subscription canceled for over 3 days now and I’ve only received one email, these people will try to pocket your money even when you don’t have a use for this app anymore, there is no reason for them to not have a opt-out or “cancel subscription” in their app where you’re able to manage your account, DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP

20. ★★★★★other

    app looks awful and doesn’t work. the app looks pink like some high contrast and doesn’t have any words or buttons. i could provide screenshots if i had an email to send them to. additionally, i’m a paying customer who uses the website daily, so this is very dissapointing.

21. ★★★★★other

    useless without paying. useless without paying

22. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    Ruined my life. Symbolab charged me early, on something that I haven’t even used. When you delete the app they don’t care. They are gonna take you for all you got. They don’t even have a cancel subscription button so you are locked in for life. Once you start a subscription, it’s a life time bond. Now after they stole my money, I’m going to be out of a apartment. They take my rent money so they can just be rich.

23. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    No answer. I typed in a question and it gave no answer.If anyone had the same problem,then use cymath. Trust me,it is much better.

24. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    BUG FIX!!!. No longer shows steps to complete problem. An error message just pops up.

25. ★★★★★other

    NO DON’T. I had this app for my math and it cut off all my sentences It didn’t give me the right answer either so please don’t waste your time with downloading this dumb app.

26. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    Can’t solve a simple ODE. I tried this app to solve a simple IVP with a first order ODE from Chap 2 of a well-known Diff Eq text. It cold not solve the problem, rendering it useless to me and my students.

27. ★★★★★wrong answers on real problems

    terrible app. this is the worst app i've ever used i got one answer wrong and now i'm super mad that i used this app, i can't believe that it got of the answers wrong

28. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    Not worth it. This app used to show answers to math problems FOR FREE. Now, you have to pay money in order to see it, sounds like a sham. If this continues, I am deleting this app soon smh.

29. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    DO NOT BUY. If you are planning on using the free trial don’t, me n a couple friends signed up for the free trail and canceled before the time expreid. The app still charged us 30 dollars, the monthly plan isn’t even a month it’s a 3 month plan which is suspicious. And you don’t even get a receipt for your transaction like you get for all your other subscriptions

30. ★★★★★subscription impossible to cancel

    Idek. This app is not the I am a six grader and whenever I take a picture of my ratio, word problems on delta math and the app says it doesn’t know what I’m talking about and stuff like that and it does not even have the type of math. I’m looking for. I just want to find an actual good math app that will help me.
