What do you think of this homework app?

Asked by Mimishu1995 (23629points) July 19th, 2022

There is a popular app in my country that has been advertised for quite a while now. Basically it is like some kind of search engine for assignments. Students would take a photo of the part of their work that they have problems with, then the app would use image search to find similar threads of the app that have the same questions asked and answered by a teacher. If there is no result, the student can post a question on the app and a teacher will come and give the answer. So far the app is for math, but I think they are thinking of expanding their territory in the future.

Personally I don’t like this app as much as I should. On one hand I can see what the app is trying to do, and it can be a great resource for self-study. But on the other hand, the app can be abused really fast, just like how we sometimes have kids who ask homework questions on here. But unlike Fluther where we can tell someone isn’t putting any effort and tell them to work accordingly, this app is made for answering homework.
