Socratic by Google - An teaching app decreases the time of thinking and homework. Like any other app, it also has some pros and cons. This doubt clearing app may be useful in solving very complex problems but there is a chance of using it for each and every problem or homework they have. It results in not learning things in a good way. Also, they don't remember anything after some time.
