As a Swiss-army knife-style app, CALC Smart hosts a wide variety of features to fight the competition. One of the core features of the app is that it is able to record the entire history of the calculations made so that users can refer back to the history at any time. Furthermore, users are provided with the ability to send or email different values back into the calculator instead of having to memorize long equations and values. A trivial, but unique aspect of CALC Smart is that it matches sounds and animations of clicks from the calculator in order to enhance the math experience from a dull chore to a more interesting process.  Instead of just having the basic calculator functions, currency conversion as well as more advanced scientific functions can be calculated using the app to give more technical firepower than the stock apps that come with the Apple device which are typically lacking in functions.

Algebra Solver is considered to be more than a math app in the sense that it offers useful features that far surpass that of traditional math apps. Equipped with significant mathematical and computational capabilities, the calculations that are done on the app are meant to handle complex equations in a timely manner that matches that of advanced scientific calculators. For example, Algebra Solver can be used to calculate complicated integrals in seconds whereas the same can be done but with extremely expensive, specialized calculators. Instead of just giving the final answer to its users, the app differentiates itself by offering detailed steps on how to derive the answer. As a result, users will be able to figure out the steps that are needed to be followed in order to arrive at the end solution on their own, making it highly helpful to students with everyday work. From simple solutions to those that require a derivation of a cubic equation, users can count on the app as a personalized tutor to show the steps as well as the final answer in solving equations. Very few limitations exist within the app as even the most complex problems involving the Riemann Hypothesis or Fermat’s Theorem can be solved. Beyond just mathematics, the Algebra Solver can be used for a wide variety of subjects to include physics, calculus, statistics, and many other topics.

With over 1400 formulas, Math Ref caters to the needs of math classes from the most basic level all the way to advanced mathematics at the university level. Beyond formulas, the app delivers mathematical concepts, tips, and examples on equations in a highly comprehensive method that makes it easy to understand for students who are looking to gain additional knowledge. Moreover, users will be able to gain access to a large number of example questions and solutions which are divided into respective subject areas for the convenience of users. Math Ref is one of the most practical math apps available on the App Store and is perfect for both students and teachers who are seeking practice questions or a greater understanding of a particular math subject.

Focused on geometry as opposed to a broad blanket-approach to providing math help, Geometry Pad makes the construction of geometric shapes easy. To simulate the use of a compass and straightedge ruler, the app makes it easy to visualize geometry problems in a way that makes the topic simpler for those who desire a complimentary visual image. In order to accomplish this, the app interface has been made as realistic as possible to deliver the best possible user experience. In creating custom shapes through Geometry Pad, users are able to move points around, make angles, adjust the size of lines or shapes, and change distance visually in real time. With the ability to make complicated constructions, the app contains many advanced functionalities and is considered one of the best iOS apps for students who are interested in the field of geometry.

Considered as one the universal references for math equations, FX Math Solver contains over 700 unique formulas which belong to 120 different math subjects. Beyond just the simple stock calculator that is often used on the iPhone, the app comes with 8 calculators that are used to solve different formulas. As opposed to other hard-core math oriented apps which are strictly used to solve formulas, FX Math Solver makes the process of learning more interesting by incorporating games as a means to enhance arithmetic skills. One such game involves starting with a target number while other numbers fall from the sky. As these numbers fall, users need to combine them through arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication in order to arrive at the target number. A single mistake is enough to end the game and hence the FX Math Solver app is highly recommended for children who are looking forward to enhancing their math skills in a fun way.

There is a new formula for success in mathematics thanks to apps like Mathway. The education application, which can be downloaded for free to the iPhone, is a wonderful resource for math students as well as their conscientious parents. Powered by Bagatrix math software, Mathway is great for middle school, high school and college students hoping to rise to the head of the class. Simply enter in a math problem in the areas of Basic Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus and Statistics, and the Mathway app generates immediate answers.

The Mathway app has a clean and intuitive interface that allows users to type in problems just as they would with basic and advanced calculators. All of the answers generated by the Mathway app are free, and all Mathway applications are free to download. Of course, if you ask any math teacher, coming up with answers is only part of the assignment. You have to show your work and demonstrate an understanding of how a given problem is solved. Accordingly, the Mathway apps also provide step-by-step explanations for solving individual problems. This premium service is available via subscriptions.

With so many math apps available on the App Store, choosing the right one for a particular set of problems or topics can be a difficult task. From this list, the math apps are able to provide a comprehensive set of functions that make it perfect for nearly every circumstance, from advanced function calculations to a complete list of formulas for additional learning, ideal for students at every educational level.
