PhotoMath

A program I have utilized most frequently while being in college is the phone app called PhotoMath. The user would hold their phones camera up to the problem they are struggling with and the answer would pop up on their screen. The user can also press a button to get the step-by-step instructions on how they figured out the problem. The person just opens the app, points their phone camera in the direction of the problem and a box will pop up. The user just fits the problem in the box given to you by the app and then the answer will automatically pop up in red. The app has helped me a lot with certain problems I did not understand in class. By looking at the steps on how the app figured out the problem, helped me understand the subject matter a lot better. When the teacher could not explain the subject the best way, I would use the app to help me out. I can use it during the math session and use while the teacher was writing on the board. It can be used with textbooks, computers, or on the board, as long as the problem is written visibly and legibly. This app has honestly helped me out various times with coursework that I just could not grasp. I think it was a smart app to make and makes math a lot easier. The app is free and was created in 2015 by Microblink.
