Turn your smartphone into a powerful scientific calculator and learn basic math concepts with PhotoMath.

While almost every Android phone comes with some type of default calculator, that software is often very limited. Outside of basic arithmetic, your pre-installed calculator probably won’t be that helpful, and that is why many math students are now turning to PhotoMath. This comprehensive piece of software has almost all of the same functions as a scientific calculator, and it comes with some amazing lessons and quizzes.

PhotoMath is a very lightweight app, and it should work on most Android smartphones and tablets. Once installed, you will be able to choose between the app’s two main functions. The primary purpose of PhotoMath is to provide the user with a comprehensive calculator. The calculator can perform almost all of the same functions as a traditional scientific calculator, and it is very easy to find and use all of the features.

As an added bonus, PhotoMath can also be used to scan printed or handwritten problems. Once the problem has been scanned, it will give the user step-by-step instructions on how to find the solution. While the scanning feature will struggle with some handwriting, it is surprisingly accurate with most printed and handwritten problems as long as the numbers and symbols are relatively legible.

This is an excellent option for math students who need a little extra help with their work. It won’t completely replace a tutor or teacher, but it will get students on the right track when no one else is around.
