User Reviews: Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant

  • Disappointed is an understatement

    I really was needing help with product rule in the derivative. But, this app says that each answer is 0.
  • A lifesaver

    This app has been so helpful in my calculus class. I struggle with math and without this app, I would be failing. I have been able to use this app to check my work, and because it shows the steps for solving the problems, I am able to understand the process and am getting an A in the class. Thank you Wolfram!
  • Disappointed

    I expected more from Wolfram, and I believe it's because when I think of leader of computations, I think Wolfram. They are great with their computations, don't get me wrong, but there are simply just better programs out there for you to solve equations step by step. I recommend that everyone reading then use an app called "Symbolab". If you go to their website, they provide step by step breakdowns better than anyone else. I gave a single star because as soon as I purchased this, I knew it wasn't what I needed for helping me break down equations.
  • No step-by-step??

    My friend had this app and it derived everything for him while showing the step-by-step solution. Having the step-by-step is extremely crucial for me in calc 2 because I need to learn the method of integrals. I noticed that some answers shows step-by-step and some don't. Trig integrals have multiple form of answers and I like to know which method achieves what. It'll be nice to know all the possible forms of answers as well; however, it doesn't seem like this app have that feature. This bugs me because I paid $3.99 for the step-by-step. If I simply want to check my answers I'll just go on their free site to acquire it.
  • Pretty good

    This app is pretty good because it does offer you step by step details on how a problem is done, and some!
    The only thing that needs to be fixed is if you want to divide something or use a rational, the sign only correlates to one part. For instance if you try to divide 3x+2, it will only divide the 3x, not the rest of the product.
    Either it doesn't work or I'm using it wrong.
    Anyway pretty good app.
  • Just Stick With WolframAlpha

    This app used to be good, but they haven't updated it in ages. Trying to do complex things, such as computing an integral, will now result in an "unrecognized characters" error, which was one of the main reasons I got this in the first place. Seriously, WolframAlpha can do everything this app can; your time and efforts are better spent with it.
  • Excellent App

    This app works great for me. I have taken Calculus 1 and 2 at a college level. There are a multitude of applications for this app- limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals, and so on.

    I find the input interface very convenient and friendly. The majority of derivatives and integrals that I have entered showed step by step solutions.

    Overall, this app was a great help in my Calculus studies.
  • What happened to step by step?

    This used to be a 5 star app, but recently I have found that it no longer gives the step by step instructions that it used to give. The button is still there, but when you press it nothing happens. It just shows the same thing (no steps) but offers to hide the steps that aren't there.
  • Great

    Does what it is designed to-do. Its great for quick homework help and checking solutions to equations. Answer explanations are also helpful but can be confusing. Overall though, I would recommend this app for any Calculus student who needs to check homework solutions/need a detailed explanation of how to complete certain derivatives or limit functions.
  • Needs more functionalities...

    This app should came with more functionalities, like limits to more than one variable functions, etc... I have to go to the online site more often than I'd like, because of this... If I could, I would return the app to get my money back...
