It's okay. It confused k and x a few times, didn't know "n choose k" and I needed to do a fair amount of hand editting in TexMaker to incorporate it into what I was doing. It pulls in packages I didn't want to use. (mhchem and stmaryrd) Not impressed that I ran out of monthly free snips (10) before I tested whether it was worth it. As a broke grad student, I'd buy with a one-time $10 - $20, but not worth any subscription, esp $60/year. If it wasn't for the pricing, I'd rate it higher.

Hi Rachel! Thank you for your feedback! I'd like to mention that we have a plan for students with 100 free snips and 35 PDF pages per month. And also our yearly Pro subscription costs $49, but not $60. Please, email us (support@mathpix.com) if you need help with getting an Educational account.

Doesn't work effectively. I have very neat handwriting, and I've been told so by multiple people. Unfortunately, this app seems to work sporadically. I can't really rely on it, which means it's effectively useless for my purposes. It's a shame, because it would be fantastic to have something like this and the few times it's worked, the results are incredible. But ultimately the unreliability is a significant blocker - even as a free app

Hi Nitin, we have released the new version of the app.(https://mathpix.com/blog/snip-2.0-ios-android) We worked really hard on handwriting recognition. You should definitely try how it works. Also, check our new drawing features with live preview. Please, rate our app again after testing. Emails us at support@mathpix.com if you need any help.

Things that not work : text that are underlined(just takes the text itself), equations inside a box will be scanned like just equations. Even though this app is for math. eqns. text detection is better than some of the text scanners i have tried. Flipping phone causes flipping animation which makes app seem lagy it would be so much better to have a minimal animation for flipping. Also after taking a photo sometimes i have to try several times to resize the detection area.
