Pros
Solves step by step. I was able to run advanced equations from AP program and the solutions were all correct. It is Free.
Cons
It is a Demo for the full program, Equations are enabled, but the rest of the subjects are disabled, but still there as menu items. Somewhat confusing since the option to enter is still there.
Summary
Powerful tool for self learning and practicing to solve algebraic equations.

Pros
Solved equations as well as systems as advertised, step by step. Nice explanations. Great help as I was able to input my own problems.
Cons
The software covers many math topics but only equations are free for user defined problems. For other topics it solves step by step only the predefined problems from the database.
Summary
Works as advertised, great math help. The download does not have CNET Installer. Installation is directly form the publisher. I did not see any adware offers or installs.

Pros
Solved step by step, as advertised. Detailed explanations and verbal commentaries included.
Cons
This is an educational tool, not for scientific calculations.
Summary
This software proved to be very useful. Cannot beat the step by step explanations. It solved everything I tried. The software seems to have many more capabilities but only equations are free. The rest is grayed out. I tried other step by step solvers but this is the only one that seems to make no mistakes.

Pros
Fantastic, it solved all the problems I tried. Voice comments are great - took me through the solutions step by step. Some solution methods I was not familiar with, but it was easy to follow to the end.
Cons
I wish the rest of the topics were free as well, not just equations.
Summary
Great math help. Solved all equations and systems that I tried. Used it as help for my Advanced Algebra class and it worked great. I was worried due to reviews that it may install some adware but since it was coming from CNET, I took a chance. I am glad I did. Recently I downloaded a Free YouTube Downloader from CNET and it had similar complaints about the search toolbar. I made sure to say NO to all CNET offers and ended up with a clean install. Remarkable how many people cannot follow simple instructions.

Pros
looks intuitive enough as far as menu functions go, however......
Cons
Can't seem to get the program working
Summary
Can't seem to get the program to work; I keep getting the error message: "illegal expression or incorrect expression for this version of UMS"
I would be willing to pay for a good algebra equation solver but this one says 60 day license; what does THAT mean?

Dear ApprenticeshipUSA,
What version are you using? If you are reviewing the Free Algebra Equation Solver then as it is stated in the name of the product it is free and has no license. Did you buy the full version - Universal Math Solver? In that case it has limited licenses of one, two, three month and one year. In any case could you please post what kind of equation are you trying to solve? Please post it here on CNET or you can e-mail to us directly: ums@umsolver.com. We will be glad to help.
Sincerely,
UMS-Team
