BILL CLINTON  The baseline adjustment for inline PICTs pasted into Mellel is now better but still not perfect. I sure wish I understood what the issues are with this as it seems like everything is in place to get this completely fixed.  
(Version 5.74)

HOTFREAKS  I dont know what some of these reviews are going on about. This program looks and behaves like it was made 10 years ago. Indeed, the developers could not even be bothered to port the app to the Intel platform. If they were giving this away, that would be one thing, but to charge for such a passé application is laughable.

Why can't someone (anyone) make a decent equation editor??  
(Version 5.73)

BILL CLINTON  MathMagic is an excellent program for setting equations, with an easy-to-use interface and _tons_ of settings to tweak if you want; however, the defaults are just right for almost all work. The quality of the output is top-notch and way better than the ever-ugly MathType and its cheap little brother that comes for free with some word processors such as Microsoft Word. The developers of MathMagic are very responsive and find little ways to keep improving their program, even though it doesn' tneed it. I'm thankful that we have developers that (a) are passionate about making beautifully set equations and (b) know how to make a proper Mac program (really unusual in the developer community when a Mac product has a Windows counterpart).  
(Version 5.6.2)

MRFIZX  As a physics teacher using equations in almost every presentation, test, worksheet, etc., I can say that this program definitely beats learning/using LaTeX or even using Word's Equation Editor then copying and pasting. It's updated regularly, and the developers take suggestions and implement them quickly. It's easily customizable and you can save all of your equations for later (and easy) use.  
(Version 5.33)

JASONS  Just great. Works well with my Keynote.

MathMagic generates the best quality equations in most cases(I've tried at least 5 of more Math software). Better than LaTeX equations.

Their free upgrade service is also a big plus.

Play with the Free trial version. It's worth if you are dealing with equations in your PDF or printing material.  
(Version 5.3)

CHANG LEE  Thank you Sweaty for your trying and comments on MathMagic. I am one of the developers of MathMagic.

There are some differences between MathType and MathMagic in UI and features. In overall, I believe that MathMagic is better than MathType even though for a certain feature you may still count for MathType. If you like, I would like to make a comparision chart for you. MathMagic runs natively on Mac OS X with Aqua UI.

Regarding the limitation of the printing(1 page), there is no page size limit so you can print a big one page. But position for MathMagic was to make it work well with other word processors and DTP software. So you can create any size of equations and use them within other layout software to print multiple pages and make books. We will be the best in creating beautiful equations fast and then let the other software do their best with our equations in layouting, printing, or presentation.

It IS, however, in our future spec candidate list with low priority and it can be supported some that next year, I guess.

There are thousands of paid customers around the world already and some education districts/countis upgraded their Mathtype software to MathMagic already.(Most of them are Mac OS X users, though.)

For the pricing, our marketing team spent some time to compare all the features and prices of our competitors, and then decided the MathMagic price to be competitive in the market. Our pricing also includes 2-year free upgrades(after 2 year, you can use the last version continuously), which is our promise to improve the product continuously and then make you subscribe a new version happily. If you check, you can find that we have released updates and upgrades quite often(once a month ~ quarter basis) over the last year, while MathType 3.7 did not for years.

But we are open to launch a promotional price from time to time to give more chances to use MathMagic to vertical markets, and also we can consider to change the price if it demands.

If you are interested in trying MathMagic in more detail, we are more than happy to provide you a Serial # so that you can try MathMagic for a few years. Please just drop us a line at support@mathmagic.com.

Personally I believe that it is worth just to try MathMagic for 30 minutes if you are a heavy equation players so that you can see how much time you can save with MathMagic.

If you are alreay MathType user, just 10 minutes will be enough to tell the difference and see whether MathMagic will fit for you.

I appreciate your time in trying MathMagic again. Any comments are appreciated.

If you would like to talk in personal, please call me at 1-604-468-8509.

Thank you.

SWEATY EDDIE  I used MathMagic for months, enduring its most serious limitation: the OS X version cannot print more than one page documents. I kept expecting this to be fixed in an updater, but version 4.0.1 *still* has this egregious flaw. Now that I've done some research, I realize that MathMagic is just a second-rate clone of MathType, a truly professional-grade equation editor -- it's put out by the same people who wrote the Microsoft Word Equation Editor, but has lots more features. MathType is $130, MathMagic just a few dollars less. You decide which to purchase. Just don't waste time creating lots of equations in MathMagic, only to have its demo period expire on you, forcing into the inferior MathMagic path. To the MM people: lower your license price, and implement decent printing!  
(Version 4.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  Previous versions installed the PACE copy-protection engine. Unless this has changed, avoid.  
(Version 4.0.1)

KIRSTEN319  Nice program that allows me to construct and edit statistical formulas for my undergrad statistics students. Allows exporting to varied file formats so I can incorporate the fomulas into word processing programs for the course packet and/or exams.

This may be idiosyncratic, but I did have to tinker with the sequence I entered data to get a bar to appear in the correct place over some symbols.

All in all, a very nice program.
