Oh My Homework
Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Oh My Homework can help kids with school subjects with a variety of math, chemistry, and physics calculators along with grammar tips. Sometimes the Oh My Homework tools will do the problems for your child without helping them understand all the steps, so parents should watch for potential cheating. The app won't help kids with conceptual understanding, so kids likely won't learn anything by using it. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.

What’s It About?
Is It Any Good?
Each set of tools in the app slightly different, but some some are confusing and none really help kids learn. Sometimes the interface is hard to navigate. For example, the variable (x) symbol is the same as the multiplication symbol, so it takes a little while to figure out how to use the quadratic calculator. The quadratic calculator will create the graph for students. However, it may not show all the steps they need to help them understand how to graph the function themselves. If kids need to factor before graphing, the quadratic tool does not provide support for that work.
Unfortunately, Oh My Homework also does some of the thinking for kids. In speed problems users are first asked, “What do you want to calculate?” If a user selects time, the tool rearranges the equation to solve for it. Additionally, it doesn't show kids steps for rearranging an equation. In most physics classes students are expected to do this work themselves. For true homework help, other tools like Desmos, can support kids with their math and science homework while also providing opportunities for collaboration with a teacher and other students. And even apps like Socratic, that could potentially lead to cheating, have some learning resources included. So, it's best to skip this one and look elsewhere.
