What is ThinkAssist?
ThinkAssist is an iPhone and iPad AI homework helper for students who want any homework question, in any subject, explained and solved step by step from a single photo.
Take a photo of a question, a worksheet or a textbook page, or type the question in. Handwriting works too. Students don't pick a subject first. ThinkAssist recognizes the subject and topic by itself, whether it's algebra, chemistry, history or an English essay, from elementary school up to college.
Math solutions are broken into short steps, with equations, fractions and formulas shown the way they look in a textbook, so even long solutions are easy to follow on a phone.
Every answer is explained step by step, so students can see how it was reached. Think Deep mode spends longer on hard problems, students can ask about any step in a follow-up chat, and answers stay saved for exam revision.
Free to download: $29.99/year after a 7-day free trial, or $6.99/week after a 3-day free trial. No ads.
It's an alternative to Photomath, which only does math, to Socratic, which Google discontinued, and to Gauth, Brainly and Chegg. ThinkAssist has been on the App Store since 2023 and is rated 4.6 from more than 200 ratings, 110 of them in the US.

Everything on the paywall should lead the eye to the CTA. The button should be the highest-contrast element on the page. If it's not immediately clear what to tap, you've already lost the conversion.
High-contrast CTA button is the only thing on the page that needs color
Darryl Stone's design principle for paywall layout: strip out visual noise, make the call-to-action the single dominant element. This means neutral backgrounds, minimal decoration, and a CTA button color that has no competition. Stone notes that most app paywalls have too many competing visual elements — multiple color accents, icons, testimonial badges — each diluting the user's focus from the one action that matters.
When the consumption is not variable subscription works extremely well when the consumption is variable or unpredictable it works horribly bad.
Subscription Fit Test: Predictable Consumption = Great Subscription; Variable = Terrible
Phil uses cat litter, coffee, and daily lunch as the ideal subscription products: consumption is predictable, so the product arrives reliably and never piles up. Meal kits fail as subscriptions because life gets in the way. The same logic applies to software and apps — subscriptions work when users engage on a regular cadence driven by a recurring need or habit. Before deciding between subscription and a-la-carte, map your typical user's actual consumption frequency.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
