Getting the answer
is not the same as understanding it

Other apps solve it for you. That works until the exam — when there's no app allowed.

Other homework apps

Show you the answer. You copy it. You pass the homework. You fail the test. The cycle continues.

ExplainlyThe pocket tutor

Teaches you the concept. Walks through every step. Tests you before the answer. You actually learn.

From confused to confident
in four steps

Every explanation follows the same proven learning structure.

1

Snap it

Camera, gallery, or screenshot. Any homework problem — handwritten, printed, or on screen — works instantly.

2

Get taught

5 teaching cards — concept, context, step by step, self-check, then the answer. Nothing skipped.

3

Test yourself

Answer the self-check before the solution appears. If you got it right, you actually understood it.

4

Practice later

Save problems. Practice Mode locks in what you learned with new questions on the same concept.

Common questions

No — that's exactly what Explainly is not. The 5-card flow walks you through the concept, context, steps, and a self-check quiz before the answer is even revealed. The whole point is that you understand the solution before you see it. Getting the answer without the understanding is useless on exam day.
Math (algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics), all sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), humanities (History, Geography), English, and Essay Mode for written assignments. If it's on a worksheet, Explainly can teach it.
Yes. Explainly reads handwritten problems, typed text from textbooks, printed worksheets, whiteboard photos, and screenshots. Built to work in real classroom and study conditions.
Photomath and Gauthmath show you the answer. Explainly teaches you the concept. We support every subject (not just math), calibrate to your grade level, offer Essay Mode, include Practice Mode for retention, and explain in 12 languages. We're a tutor — not a calculator.
Explainly is free to download, and your first problem is free — so you can see exactly how the teaching breakdown works before you decide. Pro unlocks unlimited explanations, Practice Mode, and diagrams for $6.99/month or $44.99/year, and every Pro plan starts with a 7-day free trial. No account required to start.
Currently Android only. iOS support is on the roadmap. The Android build covers the full feature set right now.
