Photomath lets you point your phone camera at any math problem — printed or handwritten — and get an instant step-by-step solution. It's the fastest way to check homework and, used correctly, one of the best ways to learn math methods.
Point, scan, solved — works on printed textbooks, worksheets and neat handwriting. Also has a smart calculator for typing problems.
Not just the answer: every step is shown and explained, with multiple solution methods where they exist.
Visualize functions and equations with interactive graphs — great for understanding what an equation means.
Arithmetic → algebra → trigonometry → calculus, plus word problems. Covers school through early college math.
"Show steps" is front and center — the app is built around understanding methods, not just answers.

Try one problem: point the camera at a homework question and watch the steps appear.
Read every step. The golden rule: cover the answer, try it yourself first, then scan to check.
Explore alternative methods — many problems show 2–3 approaches; learn the one your teacher uses.
Re-solve without the app the next day. If you can't, you copied — go back to the steps.
Yes — free includes the camera solver with step-by-step explanations. Plus adds animated tutorials and textbook solutions.
Learning the method from the steps is studying. Copying answers without understanding is cheating — and it backfires in exams. Read our AI honesty guide.
Arithmetic, fractions, algebra, trigonometry and basic calculus — school through early college level.
Yes for neat handwriting; messy writing may need the built-in smart calculator to type the problem.
