Review summary

Users appreciate Symbolab Practice for its helpful math review features, variety of topics, and accessible rules and formulas. However, many are frustrated with the highly restrictive free version that limits practice to one problem per topic and pushes expensive subscriptions. Interface issues like overlapping text, small buttons, and sign-in problems further detract from the experience. Additionally, inconsistent variable usage in problems causes confusion. These recurring issues overshadow the app's educational benefits for many users.

Pros

Helpful for learning and reviewing mathematical rules and concepts.
Offers a variety of math topics and practice problems.
User-friendly interface with formulae and basic rules readily available.
Good for practicing mathematics and improving skills.
Provides examples for many different kinds of math equations.

Cons

Free version is too limited, allowing only one problem per topic before requiring payment.
Subscription model is considered expensive and a cash grab by many users.
Interface issues such as unreadable overlapping text, small buttons, and cursor visibility problems.
Inconsistency in variable notation in practice problems causing confusion.
Sign-in issues with Google and Office 365 accounts preventing app usage.

2024-11-11	Al*****	When opening the app for the first time, I am not able to sign in or sign up with google. Since I want to sign in with google, I have not been able to use the app yet. I hope this issue is fixed soon!

2024-09-23	Nw*****	It's a very great app for learning mathematics, practicing and solving it just one problem you have to pay to get access to all the questions you can solve because I know learning isn't for free at some point but still this app is so good that the subscription is taking the sweetest of the app away

2024-09-04	Jo*****	When symbolab could solve (and show steps) for a handwritten problem I figured the practice app would be worth having. Unfortunately, the variables are not consistent (for example if I am told to solve an equation with variable y the answer may want variable x instead.) I sent screenshots to support. The practice set requires hint checking to find what variable it's looking for, feels very arbitrary. For an app whos partner can solve handwritten math I'm surprised this is where it fails.

2022-12-16	Sh*****	Wow,,,such a great app we don't have to find formulae and basic rules it is also given there and very convenient to use ..

2022-11-09	Ni*****	I don't like this at all. Everything NEEDS payment. SUBSCRIPTIONS for everything!! I'm just a student wanting to learn more.. I would say to make some adjustments like making less features up for payment. It would really help not just me but other students struggling with their math topics.

2022-07-25	Be*****	Basically nothing is free. Without a membership you can only do 1 problem with each topic and the rest of the problems are blocked behind a paywall. This app is garbage and nothing more than a cash grab.

2022-04-08	Ro*****	It may possibly be helpful but ill never know, it is set up where they allow u 1 practice problem a section then its locked unless u pay them. Thats NOT ok!!! Im not going to be bullied or manipulated by a damn math app when there is plenty of competition out there thats free!! The buttons Are a mess, they are tiny and its easy to incorrectly type your entry,, questions are hard to read. There is no work in the app to do the work needed to solve anything. Not worth the payment or the headache

2021-10-04	sa*****	The app is ok. But i have noted an inconvenience, where some of the hints; like the ones involving multiple solution set is not visible against white background, as solution itself is white. So it is necessary to swtich to dark theme for the solution to be visible. And the problem with switching to dark theme is, cursor position is not shown properly in dark mode, as the cursor itself is black, against black background. It's a very weird situation!! So please look up to it asap.
