Symbolab - Math solver for Android

With the Symbolab - Math solver app, you can build equations and see answers to a wide variety of math problems.

Pros

Easy to enter math problems: The app comes with templates that make it easy to assemble equations to solve math problems.

Spans math topics: You can find guidance for a range of math courses, from pre-algebra and calculus to geometry and statistics, with subsections for each topic.

Lots of examples: Each topic comes with a handful of example equations. The app also comes with a camera for capturing equations to solve in the app.

Cons

Pay to unlock steps: The basic free app lets you build equations and see answers. To see all the steps to a problem, however, you need to upgrade to the Pro version for $6.99, which seems a bit steep when the capable WolframAlpha app is $2.99. If you really need to see steps, you can solve the math problems on Symbolab's free website.

Ad-heavy: The app inserts a full-screen ad each time you enter an equation that you need to dismiss before you can see the solution.

Bottom Line

The free version of Symbolab is a great way to check your math work. If you need to *show* your work, however, you'll need to buy the Pro version.
