As a physics and chemistry teacher, I routinely use Wolfram Alpha Pro in my classroom to help my students on projects with their data analysis. Such an amazingly wonderful tool for anyone with an interest in calculation and data analysis, or anything else in general. Getting the Pro version was worth every penny. Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Grateful science teacher
This has everything. If you frequently use google or Wikipedia just use this instead it is so useful for such a wide variety of things, I use it mostly for STEM applications which it is amazing at. They added a camera feature which I begged for and I’m glad my pleas were answered it was definitely worth the $5. But here’s where it falls short, I still have apps like mathway because this does not accept mathematical input from images which I NEED in daily use. This would be the only math app I’d ever use if that was a feature. There is text recognition so I don’t think this is far out. Please add this and superb job on the app it’s absolutely amazing and worth the money.
I’m really glad I got this. My professor, for whatever reason, wants all solutions in y=mx+b format, but then assigns us a book that has the solutions in the back in Ax+By+C=0 format. Sometimes, it’s obvious that my solution is the same as what’s listed. Other times, it’s really not. This app helps me to check if I’m right or not and walks me through the steps to solve equations so I can see where I went wrong if my answer was incorrect. Sometimes it doesn’t understand my input. I really don’t find the input suggestions in the app to be helpful — they’re not specific enough. I wish that aspect of things were fixed. Otherwise, it’s a great resource.
Using this app for my college physics and calculus classes and it is a huge help. Gives more information on subjects and explanations than I can find on any other math calculator or search engine. I highly recommend for anyone with lots of questions that normally nobody understands!
Also, I love the depth of information and intuitive view given on EVERYTHING. My go to app for questions!!
The fact that I can use the app to see step by step solutions for only a fraction of the price to see them on the website is GODSEND. Unfortunately I downloaded this app near the end of my class and I only wish I’d thought to do it earlier. Highly recommend for checking your work for integrals and derivatives.
Without question, this app deserves a place on the home screen of anyone who occasionally needs a thorough answer to a technical question. What’s more, WolframAlpha is a dictionary, a fast calculator, a mathematics teaching tool, a de facto tutor, a superior substitute for Photo Math, and a great place to type in numbers for copy/pasting in other apps. If they’d add 3D Touch support, I will deem this app truly flawless. The service could use a spell check enhancement, but if you know how to type, you should be fine.
I’m going into high school and I’ve used this app for both 7th grade (Algebra) and 8th grade (Geometry). It has helped me immensely in regards to understanding graphing and geometric concepts, as well as in other projects, like programming. I’ve used Wolfram Mathematica in the past, mainly on Raspberry Pi. Most of the functionality of Mathematica is transferred over to this app (and for a mere $3!!). I can’t recommend this app enough!
Generally, this app is stellar. Sometimes interpretation of search term can be unusual. But, certain name searches will crash the app. For example: Dana, Gerald, & Michael, to name a few. The search starts okay. Then the app crashes and a black screen appears. On an iPhone 6+, the device reverts to Home after the black screen. Even restarting the device or doing a name search hours or days later results in a crash. Lastly, the iPhone was checked out to be 100% at an Apple store.
It would be really nice if you could type in a 3D function to graph and be able to manipulate the graph with multitouch.
WolframAlpha is an amazing product. It’s right up there with IBM Watson and other incredible feats of computer science that I can have such a versatile and useful knowledge resource on my phone. Which makes it that much more shocking that you only get a single view of a 3D graph with whatever range and graph angle that Alpha chooses for you. Make a button to go into a detailed graph viewer. I don’t understand what is stopping Wolfram from implementing this. I hope that they read these and incorporate feedback into the product.
This app is amazingly good for STEM majors (science, technology, engineering, math). It is not a search engine like google as some of the other reviewers seem to believe. If you want to know what it’s like, the website by the same name is almost identical. Paying for the app lets you see step-by-step solutions to math problems, but does not give you access to the website’s same premium feature. You should know the step-by-step solutions are sometimes not helpful (e.g. often uses reduction formulas to solve trigonometric integrals, when students are generally taught to use those as a last resort). Still an amazing app though. I think many people that would like it would be content with just the free part of the website.
