Socratic
Socratic is Google's free AI homework help app for K-12 students. Take a photo of any question — math problem, essay prompt, historical event, chemistry equation, or diagram — and Socratic returns visual, step-by-step explanations powered by Google AI and web search. Covers math, science, literature, social studies, and history with subject-specific explanation formats. Completely free with no subscription tier, no ads visible in the app, and no usage limits. Gives direct answers (unlike Khanmigo's Socratic approach) which is educationally debated but appreciated for quick clarification. Best for: K-12 students who want immediate, free homework help across all subjects and don't need the pedagogically-guided approach of Khanmigo.
Completely free — no subscription, no premium tier, no visible ads. iOS and Android only (no web app). Powered by Google AI.
