I love this app/program, but this new update made the app literally unusable for me. I tried to contact their support, but long story short, this review is the only other way I can think to contact them. The issue: the app works perfectly fine until I try to sign into my account, then the screen sits on loading for minutes and after you’re “signed in” literally nothing, not any query, your account, or even app information will load. DO NOT GET THIS UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED IF YOU INTEND TO USE PRO. This is a major issue that needs to be fixed immediately

Thank you for your interest in the WolframAlpha app. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding this issue. Could you please contact us directly so that we may work with you to address the problem? We would like to get some more specific information to help our developers narrow down the cause. You can email us at ios-support@wolfram.com.The app was working completely fine before i bought the pro version. Now, all it does when i write in a problem is say ‘computing...’ and after waiting, it’ll say ‘the request timed out’. So now after buying the full app, not only can i not get the step by step solution it promised, but also an actual answer. I suggest you get the app, it is very useful, but the pro version is actual garbage, and definitely not worth your money or time.
This WolframAlpha app is useful for the ‘brief’ step-by-step solutions and advanced keyboard. This seems sufficient for the parent / school student use. (The subscription version would have more detailed intermediate steps)
However, the additional $1 in-app purchase to analyze / recognize images is not directly useful for school math as it simply cannot recognize any math expressions. Almost any math app these days let you take pictures of math (Socratic, MS Math, Symbolab, Photomath, etc)- so this is a serious omission for a company with one of the best math engines.
So the pro version is not as useful without this photo feature. In fact, you tend to use the other apps first to get the photo based math solving quickly and only use this app with a copy-paste of the problem using LaTeX if you need ‘steps’.
I paid for complete access to this app when it was first released- now it has moved to a subscription model after I already had access to the full app.
This app is the only reason I passed my college calculus final... Must have for anyone taking an advanced math course!!! Best $3 I've ever spent on an app!!! This app does everything you ask and more... Can do ANYTHING with numbers as long as you know the correct way to input your query
This answer engine is the most amazing reference to search for truth and fact. Absolutely brilliant! I use it for my children with homeschooling and for my own self as I grow, heal and learn through life, and I use it for inspiration for my creative endeavors and spiritual questions. Wolfram Alpha is the biggest gift to the world and we should leverage this tool to figure things out and heal ourselves and the world. Thank you! 🤟❤️✌️
I paid for the app years ago and understand the need for devs to monetize their work, but since I’ve used it so little I’ve hardly realized much value. For those of us who actually paid for the app initially, the ability to “go back” and see step-by-step solutions for say, the first X queries would be appreciated. I don’t need more than that.
I recently discovered something was missing when I was sure this thing provided solving info and checked the reviews and discovered it had been changed. No need to keep this in its current form when I can just go to the website.
I’m a long time user of this app, and regret not rating it until now, although I have recommended it to fellow tutors and students in person and in online forums. I saw how this app was one of the first math apps to include the step-by-step operations of problems in Algebra I through Calculus III, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. And yet it offers so much more in the other sciences and even English vocabulary. I hope you’ll check this app out. It’s worth it and then some.
Apparently this turned into some kind of graphing calculator that does your homework for you when I wasn’t looking. Stephen Wolfram had this TED talk where he claimed this was something else entirely. That’s why I paid around $5 for this, but it has NEVER done what was claimed. Now it’s marketed as some kind of homework cheating machine, I guess. I still wish it was the thing that Stephen Wolfram got up on stage and lied about. Every once in a while I think just maybe it’ll actually do that and I try. Nope! So I come here to recreate this grumpy review which gets repeatedly deleted when they update the app.
I have been using this app for years. Seeing the “go pro” come up with having advanced solutions, i decided to try it out. Did an in app purchase for a subscription based purchase and still keep getting asked in app to upgrade to pro. I hit restore purchases and i get a quick screen “thank you for your purchase” and again i go into the step by step solution and it is giving me “Basic solution” and having the pop up at the bottom AGAIN! “Go pro now”. I have cancelled the subscription immediately and now writing this review. Seems like some bugs here that need to be fixed....

You can email us at ios-support@wolfram.com.I use the free version of wolfram alpha online all the time. It does NOT break down the step by step procedure... for just 3 dollars this App DOES break it down step by step. So then there IS a huge difference between the free online version and this paid app. Again, for 3 dollars you will see the step by step breakdown for the math solutions... that’s a great price even though the subscription apparently gives you even more in depth breakdowns etc. This App IS definitely worth 3 dollars, other people are confused!!
