Photomath

**Photomath** is the original photo-based math solver, downloaded over 220 million times and used by students from elementary school through college. Point your phone camera at any math problem — handwritten or printed — and Photomath recognizes it, solves it, and walks through the solution step by step.

What distinguishes Photomath from other math tools is the quality of its step-by-step explanations. It doesn't just give you the answer — it shows every step in the solution process, explains the mathematical reasoning at each step, and offers multiple solution methods for problems that can be solved different ways.

**What Photomath Does Best**

Camera recognition is best-in-class. It handles messy handwriting, unusual notation, and complex equations that require clean typesetting from other tools. The step-by-step solver covers arithmetic, fractions, algebra, quadratic equations, systems of equations, calculus basics, and graphing.

The explanations are written in plain language, not mathematical jargon — making them accessible to students who are struggling, not just those who want to check their work.

**Pricing**

Free plan covers basic problem recognition and solutions. Photomath Plus at .99/month (or 9.99/year) adds animated step-by-step explanations, expert explanations written by math teachers, and word problem solving. Photomath Plus is available on iOS and Android.

**Who Should Use Photomath?**

Students from middle school through early college who want to understand how to solve math problems, not just get answers. Parents helping kids with homework will also find it invaluable. It's particularly powerful for students who are stuck on a specific problem type and need to see worked examples before trying similar problems themselves.
