Reasons for canceling Photomath Plus

If you feel that you need to cancel your Photomath Plus subscription, there may be a variety of reasons for doing so.

  • Dissatisfaction with features: Sometimes certain features provided under the paid version do nothing to impress and satisfy your child’s needs. Thus, these added features can prove to be less valuable.
  • Availability of better alternatives: Many other educational apps exist and provide similar math-solving options. They may be cheaper and better for your child.
  • Concerns about screen time: Using this app for countless hours can be detrimental to your children’s health and some parents are really concerned about it.

Quitting Photomath Plus may help you financially, limit your kid’s screen time and create an opportunity to look for other higher-quality math learning apps or websites.
