Limited to Specific Problems
While Photomath is powerful, it may not accurately interpret handwritten problems or less common math types, limiting its effectiveness in certain situations.
Dependence on Camera Quality
The effectiveness of the app can vary based on the camera quality of the user’s device, potentially hindering performance on older smartphones.
Subscription Model for Full Access
Some advanced features, such as detailed explanations for more complex problems, are locked behind a subscription, which may deter users looking for completely free options.
No Advanced Calculus Support
Photomath does not cover all advanced calculus topics comprehensively, which may disappoint users at higher academic levels seeking deeper analysis.
Potential for Over-reliance
Students might become overly reliant on the app for answers, potentially hindering their problem-solving skills and critical thinking development.
