Needs Improvement – MathStudio Review

For $20, I would expect much more from the app. While the concept is there, the delivery is subpar with regard to documentation being clunky and the UI being sparse. Example: try to search derivative in the manual... it won’t show up. But if you search Calculus, you can find derivatives. For a math app, the UI being sparse is good for many reasons, but where it becomes a glaring problem is the math input. There needs to be a “pretty math” input similar to the the TI NSpire where you can easily see your complex equation in standard form rather than just a complex line of parenthesis and carrot symbols. When dealing with multiple polynomial fractions in a single calculation, this will get ugly very quickly. Also, when I try to do a define via := logic, the entire app crashes and closes.
