QANDA is one of Asia's most-used study apps, built by Seoul-based Mathpresso on OCR strong enough to read messy handwritten equations and a specialised model (MathGPT) tuned for step-by-step math solutions. Free core scanning plus coin-based live tutoring has carried it past 90 million registered users, with over 85% of that base outside Korea — Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand are its biggest markets, a genuinely rare footprint for a Korean edtech product.
The catch is the one every AI homework app faces: it sometimes gets answers wrong or can't solve a problem at all, and the coin economy for human tutors draws real complaints about cost and tutor quality — the companion QANDA Teacher app sits at 1.8 stars. Treat it as fast first-pass homework help rather than a tutor replacement and it earns its download. There's no developer API; this is a consumer product end to end.
What people say
QANDA carries real scale behind its ratings: roughly 778,000 ratings on Google Play averaging about 3.8 stars, and around 755 ratings on the Apple App Store closer to 3.5. Reviewers consistently call out the same strength — point the camera at a problem and get an instant, step-by-step solution — and the same weakness: the app periodically can't solve a problem, or solves it wrong, and says so rather than faking a confident answer.
Coin economics are the recurring complaint. Live tutor sessions run on a coin system layered on top of subscription tiers — reported iOS pricing for named plans (Basic, Premium, Pro) ranges roughly $2-$10/month depending on source and region, plus $0.99 coin packs for one-off tutor questions — and reviewers on forums like Reddit describe it as reasonable for quick homework checks ('fine for homework, not a replacement for a real tutor') but frustrating when a coin purchase doesn't resolve the question. The companion QANDA Teacher app, which lets tutors earn money answering questions, fares far worse: about 1.8 stars across roughly 10,000 reviews, with tutors flagging low pay per answer and platform-side issues around coin payouts.
On funding, Mathpresso has raised close to $130 million total, including a Series C extension near $70 million backed by Signite Partners (Shinsegae) and YBM, plus an $8 million round from telecom KT. Google, SoftBank Ventures Asia and Mirae Asset are also on the cap table — solid enough backing that the product isn't going away, but not the kind of round that suggests near-term profitability pressure has eased.
The regional footprint is the most distinctive data point in any independent coverage: over 85% of QANDA's 90-million-plus user base sits outside Korea, concentrated in Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand — markets underserved by Photomath and other Western competitors. That geographic spread, more than any single review score, is what separates QANDA from a generic homework-scanning app.
