Socratic by Google

I don't like this new version. I love that it automatically captures the text, but I REALLY DISLIKE how the results are displayed. MUCH RATHER the older version in that sense, because the answers popped up automatically and were straightforward and easy to see. Now you still have to sit and search. What's the point? This new version in my opinion downgraded in that sense. I think that a mix between the two would be perfect. Use the old way the answers are displayed with the new text capture.

It's a good start. It gets tripped up by some more advanced topics where more mature engines do not, but I can see that this is a work in progress. The search function doesn't really seem any more useful than a normal Google search for most questions. The voice function is similarly limited. The photo feature is useful, but there doesn't seem to be an option to import photos, images, screenshots, etc from device storage, which is a huge limitation.

I like the old version better. It seems to have more answer and it actually shows the FULL answer. This app has a focusing problem and makes you click the link to see the rest of the answer which is really irritating. I like that it crops the question for you & gives you the option to type the question or speak it. I just think it needs a couple adjustments.

THIS NEW VERSION WAS NOT READY FOR RELEASE. It is extremely slower that the other one available for Android. And the answers DO NOT auto pop up in the app like before. Even though it says answer. You still have to click on the link. I would attach photos if I could. It still does not work as fast or as well as the one on iPhones but the older version was still way better than this.

Very interesting concept. It doesn’t yet really “solve” certain problems, in the way that Microsoft’s Math app does, but it brings up extremely similar examples that one can extrapolate to find a solution. The reference materials (swipe up) look voluminous; I’m excited to dive in and review old math, physics, and science topics that I have almost forgotten.

It's sick for letting me get quick answers on the spot. No more looking on the internet and wondering if it's actually what you're looking for. This thing provides sources and context and the snap of a picture and has a ton more to learn from. Just needs adjustments for the camera option and something to make it panaramic to take better pictures and maybe if it can take questions with the blanks and take the multiple choice answers and it can tell you which one is the correct one. But That's all

The old version is better as it shows you the answer directly on the page result. This version requires you to click on the search result as if you were in your Google Chrome browser. It takes more time to get you answer. That's a big minus point. On the positive side, when taking a picture of the question you dont have to crop it out. This version automatically center the picture on the question. If i didnt have the option 2 use the old version, I would probably uninstall socratic all together

Works great! It's finally a lot simpler to use like it used to before Google took over. You can see the answer immediately on the screen again. I do have a complaint about the photo-taking button. I have to spam tap it a million times before it takes a pic of my question, occasionally ruining the focus. I got a new Moto G6 smartphone too, so the issue isn't my screen. Plus, the GO search button works immediately when I press it, which is in the same place on my screen as the photo button.

Not even that long after installing it, this app is amazing. Its easy to use and efficient. One thing i would like so see in an update or Smth is an option to select the question. For example instead of just cropping the question maybe add a part where you can circle or highlight the question and whatever part you highlighted or circled is the part the app will use. It is still easy to use even if you cover up a part with your finger.

Not a bad little app to have on hand if your in school or have kids. It has different options to help explain your question. It could use some help with explaining the answers better, some answers are just confusing, but I like that it has any subject, not just math. It has science, history, fiction and many more. It's nice to have and be able to use for free. That's a rare find, free without ads. My 6th grader loves this app. She uses it a lot on her own to help explain her school work better.
