Google’s latest app dives deeper into the world of AI-powered productivity tools to help users tackle tough math problems with ease.
Google has officially welcomed Photomath to its app lineup (via 9to5Google). The search giant acquired the Croatia-based service in May 2022, but it took until last year to finalize the deal after the European Commission gave the go-ahead for the acquisition.
Google’s current services like Google Docs and Search already offer the ability to solve math, but Photomath goes even further by offering a more convenient and efficient way to tackle those tough math problems. We offer a higher level of quality.
Photomath gives users the power to solve a variety of math problems, whether it’s trigonometry or calculus. Just take a photo of the equation and Photomath will provide step-by-step instructions and solutions. You can also upload files for your math assignments. This is a game-changer for students and parents who frequently check their children’s homework.

Probably the best thing about this app is the solution steps. It’s not just about giving answers. It shows you how to get there yourself. What’s more, it works even without an internet connection.
Google also offers a “Photomath Plus” subscription, which costs $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year. With this subscription, you’ll get access to useful extra features like textbook solutions, animated tutorials, and more detailed explanations.
This app is not completely new. It debuted in 2014 and has since racked up over 100 million downloads. It has 4.5 stars on the Play Store and 4.7 stars on the App Store. Photomath probably has a reputation for being fast and accurate.
You may have tried Google Lens’ “Homework” filter. And it’s not hard to imagine Photomath’s AI being built into Google products like Lens. This has the potential to take text recognition and problem-solving capabilities to a whole new level.
