Yes. The Basic tier is free and includes step-by-step explanations for every problem you scan or type. Photomath Plus is the paid subscription, at $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year, and adds custom visual aids and extra “how” and “why” tips.

Can Photomath solve word problems?

Yes. The scanner reads word problems as well as bare equations, and you can also enter problems manually with the built-in calculator. It covers topics from arithmetic through calculus, including geometry, trigonometry and statistics.

Does Photomath just give the answer?

No — every result comes with a step-by-step worked solution, and many problems offer more than one solving method. Plus subscribers get animated visual aids and deeper explanations attached to individual steps.

Which devices does Photomath run on?

Photomath is a mobile app for iPhone and Android phones and tablets. There is no official web or desktop version, since the product is built around scanning problems with a phone camera.

Photomath 是什么？

Photomath is a maths tutor that lives in a phone camera. Point it at a printed or handwritten problem — word problems included — and it returns the answer with a step-by-step worked solution, often showing more than one method. A built-in calculator handles typed problems, and coverage runs from arithmetic and algebra through geometry, trigonometry, statistics and calculus. The app is owned by Google and is one of the most downloaded education apps, built on the idea that showing the working matters more than the answer.

The free Basic tier already includes step-by-step explanations for every scan. Photomath Plus, the subscription, adds custom visual aids — animated diagrams for tricky steps — and extra “how” and “why” tips that unpack individual steps in more depth. It is aimed squarely at school and early-university students doing homework, and at parents checking work in topics they have not touched in decades. Photomath exists only as iOS and Android apps; there is no web or desktop version.

如何使用 Photomath

1
Install the app
Download Photomath free from the App Store or Google Play and open it; the camera view is the home screen.
2
Scan the problem
Frame a printed or handwritten problem — including a word problem — and Photomath reads and solves it. Type the problem into the smart calculator instead if scanning struggles.
3
Work through the steps
Read the step-by-step solution rather than copying the answer, and switch to an alternative method where the app offers one.
4
Go deeper with Plus
On the paid plan, open the visual aids and the extra “how” and “why” tips attached to individual steps when an explanation feels too brief.
