About Photomath
Photomath is a mobile app that scans a maths problem with your camera and shows how to solve it step by step. The Google Play listing says it helps learners practise and understand maths one step at a time.
It can read printed problems and handwriting, and it offers explanations for each stage so that learners can follow the reasoning rather than just see an answer. It covers subjects from basic arithmetic upward and includes a calculator. The developer is listed as Google LLC on both stores, which reflects its ownership by Google.
The app is free to download, with in-app purchases listed on Google Play for extra features. It suits students who want help checking homework and understanding methods. Because answers are easy to see, it is best used to learn the process rather than to copy results. Teachers may have their own policies on its use, and some explanations may be locked behind the paid tier.
Use it to check your working, not replace it. Some deeper explanations may require the paid plan.
