SnapCalc - Math Problem Solver Reviews

I’ve had SnapCalc for awhile and I just want to address something. When I saw SnapCalc and the name it excited me and I thought I was gonna be able to use the camera like crazy due to stress with math lately even though I should try to learn what I’m struggling with I had found SnapCalc and thought I could relax. SnapCalc was helpful for a few hard questions on my math test but it only lets you snap a few questions before continuously asking to start a plan and pay money which I know for every app there’s something like this but thats really annoying. I only got through like two hard questions on my test bc it wouldn’t let me continue unless I pay which disappointed me. The quizzes are somewhat thoughtful and I like the idea of also having quizzes to practice so you understand. Also the “learn” area is also pretty thoughtful. I think it may be useful for kids and even teens and adults, specifically directing this to some that I saw like “Do My Grades Really Matter?” And another one I saw which I couldn’t help myself to read was “Noise Distraction”. As I think it was very nice to do that I’m still very upset that I can only use the camera only a few times.

This is going to be somewhat of a long review. SnapCalc is a great app, but after a couple of weeks of using it I started getting a message of “Failed to provide steps, please try at a later time. So I did this several different times and got the same message. I deleted SnapCalc and reinstalled it thinking that would help and it didn’t. So I had emailed customer support two different times and still have not heard back. I really do enjoy SnapCalc and it was very helpful with my class, but when SnapCalc provides just the answer and not the steps it really defeats the purpose of learning how to do algebra not just get the answer. Unfortunately I have already paid for SnapCalc and now there’s only 3 weeks of my class help. So hope this review will help in case any others are having the same issue so the developer can figure this glitch out and get it fixed.

I saw app had in app purchases so I assumed it was free since it looked like every single free app I have ever downloaded and did not show price like every app I had to pay for a subscription! HOWEVER half way threw the download, I read a pop up that said it was a 3day free trial only and then around $5 a week after that! I DID NOT FINISH DOWNLOADING SO I CAN NOT REVIEW SnapCalc CONTENT OR FUNCTIONALITY OF IT;
(however it does look like a well built app &others reviews seem positive but For the hand full of times I’d use this type of app a year the free app would suit my needs and yet a student would benefit by paying for the service but still I’d look into one of the free apps first)
I’m writing this review because regardless where the info came from I just wish I had known about the price Deception before hand, so I’m giving you all the review I wish I had read!

I like math, most of you hate it or like it, and I like it, even though I like it, some questions are too hard for me, so I secretly take my phone out and take a picture of the problems I have trouble with, thanks to SnapCalc, I was able to solve problems while learning too, thanks to the person who made this, it’s also fun to write random problems in my notebook and scan them, the funny part is when I my friends wonder why I have so many equations, anyway it’s a good tool for math, improvements can be made though, there some bugs I ran into that glitches my calculator not gives wrong equations, ok that’s all

Im not the brightest when it comes to the subject of algebra or math in general. I tried a couple of applications and this is not one that I would recommend, it’s simply a waste of time. Though it does follow through with the claim that it solves math equations and explains the procedures of them. Some features that i would add is take away the premium version because it is simply a waste of money to show you how to solve a math equation. Also another feature is the auto solve and steps. By that I mean not having to click a button to solve the problem because yes I do what to solve not just look at the problem again. It’s takes a couple of seconds to get the answer as well. I would rather much use photo math because it does the same but better and no need to pay to solve a couple of math problems.

SnapCalc helped solve a couple of math problems I had trouble on but the developers are extremely money hungry. As soon as you launch SnapCalc , it comes up with a screen saying buy their subscription service and there’s no clear way to decline it until you read through the text and find the tiny sliver of dialogue that says ‘Or continue to classic version’ but the classic version helped me out for about 3 problems before prompting me to buy the subscription if I needed more help. Use Mathway instead, it’s free even if you have to go through more steps to get an answer. Now I’m stuck with a 3 day subscription of an app I don’t need and one without any form of log in so it’s not like I can sign into a website to cancel it, I’ll have to do it off my Apple ID. I’d avoid SnapCalc.

SnapCalc is good if ur struggling with math. But what really bugged me was that I wasn’t expecting that I had to pay like some other apps. I had read all the comments and NONE of them said anything about paying so I was happy until i saw u had to pay there was two options it was pay for a month if I’m not mistaken or get a 3 day free trial once my three day trial expired I got an alert that my purchase was almost completed I was so confused cause I didn’t remember paying anything until check orders I had made recently and it had the name of SnapCalc so basically it purchased by its self I don’t now if it was the actual app or my phone so I had to go through a struggle to cancel the order before it fully purchased. So my opinion is purchase SnapCalc if u want but MAKE SURE YOU DON’T reach the third day.

I don’t know if this happened to anyone else but this is my second or third day with SnapCalc I didn’t check any reviews but I saw it had a good score. basically the problems started today, I was trying to do the math gave up and went to use SnapCalc and every time I took a photo of the math and tried to press “solve” it would just take me to the subscribe or 3 day trial page. Ever. Single. Time. When I would click the grey thing saying to continue with the basic one it would take me back I’d click solve and back to the subscribe page. It doesn’t let me do anything and it’s pretty frustrating. I tried deleting it and adding it back hoping that will work but nope.

Let's say I'm not the smartest in math, i've tried abunch of different apps to help with math and none of them worked like this. It gives you different answers depending on your subject and steps to explain why, on my quizzes i am able to score way higher thanks to SnapCalc. Some people have complaints on the glitches but i have not experienced any. The only thing i don't like is the subscription but it really does help and is worth the money.

I got SnapCalc and I did not read any of the reviews I thought it was going to be good and I did not have to pay for anything before I was able to actually use SnapCalc I had to pay either a month trial or I would have to pay a three day free trial so I was just going to pay it but I was going to cancel it before three days were over so now when I try to do it I did a word problem and it kept saying that I couldn’t find it so I try writing it down and it gave me the wrong answer for the problem so I don’t know what’s going on with SnapCalc maybe if you just need to fix it or something but that is not good I am not recommend you guys getting SnapCalc or even wasting your money on it so yeah thank you.

I tried using it so that I can get help with math problems but once I get in it shows that you need to buy subscription and there’s a little silver thing and it says continue with classic and then it only helped me out with three problems and most of the problems I asked for it said it couldn’t worked and then when I tried to do the next problem it’s on you need to buy subscription and when I click continue with classic it didn’t solve the problem and I kept clicking on continue without subscription and it didn’t solve the problem so basically you can only do three problems without the subscription

ok so i do Really Like SnapCalc i had it for a while Now but there are some problems... some times when you want to know somthing let’s say you write on a paper and say 3x4 it will said 34 as a glitch and we all know what 3x4= 12 but Alos that’s say you don’t know the answer to a problem it will say the answer is right but when you ask someone like a teacher or do it on a Calculator it says a different answer so they really do need to fix glitch ... another problem is that you have to pay monthly for an App to know a answer to that’s really annoying.... mine as Well use a Calculator if that is the case ...thank you for your time 😅😍 .

I’ve tried to use this app multiple times to check my answers, but every time I take a picture I can’t see the solution to any of the problems unless I pay for a subscription. It allows me to continue to a limited version, but apparently the limited version doesn’t include the solutions to math problems, which essentially makes SnapCalc useless unless you’re willing to pay $5 per week. I originally downloaded SnapCalc to solve algebra problems that other apps can’t seem to process, but it doesn’t seem to work unless you buy the monthly or weekly subscription. It’s disappointing, to say the least.

I originally downloaded SnapCalc that had appeared to have multiple 5 star ratings. I needed to teach myself an lesson that I had to learn immediately before the test. SnapCalc worked great and I had only downloaded for the 3 days I needed to learn the concept, which is also the same 3 day FREE trial that was offered. I selected that I did NOT want to subscribe to SnapCalc and deleted it right after. Apple attempts to charge my card , and the representative from Apple informed me of SnapCalc to have automated subscriptions upon installment and that it was nothing that could be done through Apple and that it had to be taken up with the company.... I HIGHLY DO NOT APPRECIATE THIS , and would NEVER recommend this to anybody...

You guys charged me 2 times and I already unsubscribed way before the renew period and my account went negative because of you guys didn’t seem so care about me not wanting to use SnapCalc anymore can you plz stop charging my credit card I do not have any subscriptions with SnapCalc any more but you still proceed to charge me for it

Yes you guys did charge me I can show u my bank statement and I been unsubscribed way before the trial end date and do not tell me to contact apple directly because that is one of the first things I’ve done and they promised me to refund me the amount you guys charged me which I never got but it’s ok I just know now not to trust certain apps

SnapCalc over all may work for some people. But not for me. When you first open SnapCalc there is a page that asks if you would like to pay for an upgraded version I just clicked use regular version because I don’t need anything fancy. After it solving a few problems it would not solve any more and kept on bring up that page where you had to pay for the upgraded version. And it would not solve anymore problems. So if you are willing to pay for the upgrade it may work better for you. In my opinion SnapCalc is not the best and is kind of a scam.

I’m a senior in high school, and I’m taking an ace algebra, Functions, Data analyst course.
It’s been a rough year living anywhere and school doesn’t really ease my anxiety and depression, so I decided to download this application and give it a try, but every time I used it the application failed. Every module test has a submission button; every time it renders the question SnapCalc gives up and try to solve the submit button instead of the question.
So it is very frustrating when you can’t even have one nice thing in this world.
#2020🤦🏻‍♂️😪

SnapCalc is pointless and I hate it it cost me $50 a month and I agreed to it to pay $50 a month and I didn’t do anything I got it wrong on all my tests and it did not work out it charges you $50 every single month just to get you an F 100% a disgrace to this world the worst I’ve ever seen in my life or even heard of and if I were them I would shut down SnapCalc and I would encourage you not to get it pointless in the worst app ever you will regret all your life decisions if you buy SnapCalc and it doesn’t tell you that you have to buy it

Ok why do all the good apps have trials on them?! it’s like thx for the “Free trial” but I have to pay once the trial ends. I got SnapCalc thinking it would be a great help with my math but no, straight when you get on SnapCalc get “full access” like bruh I DONT HAVE MONEY i am a child and i dont really have the money for this stuff, also most of the people who download apps like this are people either in collage and lower you have to understand we most likely do not have enough money to really spend on apps even if they are helpful ones . I dont want to be a hater or mean to be rude but I really thought SnapCalc would be an amazing helper for me but I was sadly mistaken and disappointed:(.

SnapCalc is not bad but there’s are reason why i am deleting it SnapCalc Does not help you it will tell you they don’t have the answer to your questions it may work for someone else but not me that why I giving SnapCalc a one star a few weeks later I stared to get messages about my app say it not working and try again later so I did what it told me and I went to go try it to see if it worked again and it was not working at all in my opinion I fell that SnapCalc is just using us for money that why I ended my trial SnapCalc is the worst I sorry but I just speaking the truth

This is my 8th grade year and math got hard real quick but with SnapCalc I’ve been able to find stuff out without having to be babied by the teacher. I wish everyone realized how easy it is to learn new things and new solutions to my problem! Thanks! My school just started a program that allows students to text their teachers for help but I don’t feel so comfortable doing that! So SnapCalc is now my new solution!

SnapCalc has helped me with my homework soo much since I have downloaded it. I use it almost every time that I have to do math on paper! It shows you the work after unlike other apps where you have to pay for them to show you the work.😁 The thing that I love so much is that it can do variables, so I would recommend getting SnapCalc over any other one!

I wouldn’t mind SnapCalc existing if it weren’t for the fact that you have to pay for its services. It only solves basic problems, not graphs or functions or whatever, only very basic problems. It cannot even do algebra. It stops working if you give it a basic 9th grade algebra problem. SnapCalc would be perfect for students in middle school and below as a substitution for a calculator for their more simple problems, however not worth the price. It’s advertised as able to do algebra, calculus etc. This is not true.

When I was trying to check a problem and the add for this app premium kept popping up every time I tried to solve the problem. The calculator does not have the right solution that I need. This is very frustrating. SnapCalc is a complete waste of time. SnapCalc can’t even read the problem. I purchased the this app premium and I doesn’t help or fix any thing!!!!!!!!!! Everyone who is having a hard time with SnapCalc for fractions, multiplying, adding, subtracting, dividing, or putting numbers in to lowest terms I recommend SnapCalc Fraction Calculator Plus. That app is AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!!! SnapCalc is horrible

I love SnapCalc so helpful as a high school student, however in saying that when I have to do work on my phone I wish I could simply screenshot my screen and upload the photo from camera roll. If they added this I would rate 5 stars the only other complaint is some problems can’t be solved by SnapCalc that I’ve tried it’s kinda hit or miss id say 70/30 but that’s still a very useful tool.

I tried to use SnapCalc but it would not solve the answers. Whenever I clicked solve it would always ask me if I wanted to pay $5.99 per month, which is not worth it. I clicked use the free version and it would always take me back to where I took the picture each time and never solve my problem. There’s really no free version if all I can do is take a picture of my math problem but not solve it. “Premium” payment just allows you to use SnapCalc nothing else. People who don’t wanna pay 6 dollars a month are doomed

I was really struggling in math and my teacher was one of those teachers that just handed out Work and when you would ask her for help she would end up solving it and not helping but with SnapCalc it gives me the answer and it also shows the steps and it is all free just take a picture and you have an A

SnapCalc is wonderful and I do not think that you should have to pay for premium SnapCalc really helps me and other people a lot I really need SnapCalc to help me get through high school and I would really like being able to solve questions unlimited times and I think other people would want this as well.

So I got SnapCalc thinking oh this is so great and I used it for the first time and it was amazing, however when I tried to use it the next day I took the pictures of the problem but every time I hit sold it would go straight to the “ try the three day trial for free or pay $3.99 a month.” I could no longer use SnapCalc because every time I opened SnapCalc it still went straight to the purchase options. If you are looking for a good FREE math solving app I would not recommend this one UNLESS you are willing to pay $4 dollars a month😞.
