Ada+Max review
A focused arithmetic tutor with photo-based explanations, work feedback, and games.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Ada+Max is a mobile math tutor for children and parents, with practice aimed at elementary and middle grades. Learners can photograph a math problem for an AI-assisted, step-by-step explanation, or submit completed work for feedback and mistake explanations. Arithmetic flashcards, math games, progress tracking, and grade-based difficulty settings round out the app. It is available on iOS and Android, making it a fit for families looking for guided arithmetic practice rather than a general-purpose solver.
The free plan includes 5 AI math-solver snaps per month, and Check My Work shares that monthly allowance. It also provides addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division flashcards, four free games, and progress tracking. Premium costs $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year, according to the vendor's published plans. Both paid options include unlimited solver snaps and Check My Work, all math games, a Parent Report Card, and progress tracking. The free tier gives families a way to explore the practice features, while the subscription removes the scan limit and opens the full game set.
The product's strongest fit is structured arithmetic practice: Common Core explanations, feedback on photographed work, confidence scores, streaks, history, and difficulty settings for Grades 1–2, 3–4, and 5–6 give children several ways to work on core skills. Parent and child profiles also make the family focus clear. That same focus is a boundary: learners seeking broader math subject coverage should consider a wider-ranging solver. Choose Ada+Max for elementary arithmetic practice with games and progress visibility; look elsewhere if the priority is solving across a broad range of mathematics.
