Excellent but with a few rough spots
The app is a fantastic tool for all sorts of tasks and problems - especially those related to STEM - and could be considered an “all-purpose calculator” of sorts. There are a few rough spots though:
1) Some annoying bugs.
1a) It seems that the app is unable to correctly interpret some prompts despite the website handling them fine.
1b) There also appears to be a bug where pressing buttons like “more” to get more information only work once and then lock you into the original results otherwise. Not sure how common this is but it’s an issue for me.
2) Some features to be desired.
2a) Interactivity with 3D plots would be nice.
2b) For pro users a keyword or option to automatically allocate more runtime when needed would be a great quality of life improvement (and more efficient?).
2c) Some more minor quality of life issues that I know exist but can’t think of at the moment.
Despite these problems, the app is still extremely useful (and fun, for nerds like me at least). I use it quite often and it usually gives me everything I need and more. There is some room for improvement but overall it’s an excellent software!Wolfram Alpha for teaching
I’m a community college professor of mathematics, and I use the WolframAlpha app to enhance my teaching online and in-person. I use WolframAlpha on my iPhone, Ipad, and my MacBook Pro. With the new Apple silicon M1-pro Chip, I am now able to do all the awesome calculations on my MacBook Pro with the WolframAlpha App that I only used to do on my iPhone. With my new Liquid Retina display, the math work is displayed as beautiful and precise as ever. I don’t allow WolframAlpha on exams and it’s very easy to check when you require students to show hand-written work and not computer work. The steps students take by hand in solving Calculus problems is very different from steps in WolframAlpha.Col.,MD,PhD
Awesome, cool etc
Somehow this site/app
Fits like a ‘hand’ and a glove
FYI multinational global corporate monetized interests are, as were the Iron Age, Bronze Age, gun powder age - if you will - , Age of Mass Production, Atomic Age, Information Age (in which one knows about stuff, things, deities - whatever - as opposed to knowing directly or by personal experience, & now, quite obviously, Cyberspace
During one internship, under the wise and protective wing of (thank God Karma Destiny - whatever, names - big deal) the Director of Psychiatry for Israeli govt., I found out from him a sort of koan which I am still unraveling & unlearning 🤔 which is ( ta da )

Re this site has been a big, unique asset and source of fellowship for yours truly!
For that, thank you 😊
