The most useful feature of Mathway was that it provides a multitude of examples for a wide range of math topics. For instance, within the "Algebra section", there are 21 separate topics on algebra that the student can click on and see examples and descriptions on how to solve that particular type of equation. This feature would be a great use for students of any math class. This app would be most useful for high school and college level math courses. However, its "Basic Math" section could be applicable for middle school and junior high students. Its wide range of topics can appeal to a variety of math users. Mathway doesn't simply just give the user the answer, like a calculator would, but it provides the important step-by-step breakdown of how the solution was achieved. This process is also a great way for students to check their work when they are done. That way, if the solution the student originally got was wrong, they can go back and look through the step-by-step process on Mathway and they can see where they went wrong.
I downloaded Mathway on my IPhone. The only improvement that I would make to this app is that it needs to have larger buttons for its calculating functions. With so many keys, the buttons appeared very small on the phone and it was a little tough to consistently enter the proper keys. Overall, I think Mathway is great for students of all ages and I would certainly recommend it to others.
