About
Photomath is a maths learning app that started in Zagreb, Croatia. It was created by the team at Microblink and launched in 2014. Photomath became its own company, and Google completed its purchase in 2023.
Students point their phone camera at a printed or handwritten maths problem, and the app reads it and shows the answer. It then breaks the solution into steps, with explanations of the method used at each stage. Photomath covers arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics and calculus. Users can also type problems with a built in maths keyboard. Graphs and animated tutorials show how an answer was reached.
The basic app is free and shows step by step solutions for most problems. Photomath Plus is a paid subscription that adds deeper explanations, animated tutorials and textbook solutions written by maths experts. The app runs on iOS and Android. It is widely used by secondary school students in the US, the UK and Europe, and parents use it to check homework they no longer remember how to solve.
