Symbolab: AI Math Solver

Work through a maths problem

Symbolab: AI Math Solver is an education app for students and others who want help solving maths problems. You can enter a problem or take a picture of it, then view a worked solution. Its subject range includes algebra, trigonometry and calculus, so it may be useful when you need to check a method as well as an answer.

Check what kind of help you need

The app brings together calculators for tasks such as equations, fractions, graphs, derivatives, integrals, limits, matrices and inequalities. Consider whether you want to learn the steps, verify work you have already done, or simply get an answer. A solver can support practice, but it cannot replace working through the underlying ideas yourself.

Basic solution steps are described as available without a subscription; more advanced steps and explanations require one. If detailed explanations are the main reason you are considering the app, check what is included before relying on it.

Consider the publisher and audience

The listed developer is Symbolab - Math. The app has a 4.32 out of 5 rating from about 149,000 ratings and has been installed more than 10 million times. Those figures suggest broad use, but they do not tell you whether its explanations suit your course, level or preferred way of learning.

Make a deliberate choice

Before adding another study tool to your phone, ask whether you will use its calculators regularly and whether entering problems or photographing them fits your habits. If you do try it, review the requested access on your device and decide whether it makes sense for the features you use. You can also consider whether a browser-based solver or your existing study materials would meet the same need.
