  • Not worth paying for

    Very limited functionality. Not worth paying for.

    Math teacher
  • Data edit

    I too was disappointed.

    I had expected to be able to enter data once and make all various calcs.

    But I can't edit data, it's not useful. The stats registers on my 30 yr old calculator far far better.

    With Wolfram I was expecting a tool that was useful.

    May I get my $2 back? Please?
  • Don't waste your money

    This app BARELY skims the surface of a statistics course. That and the keyboard for inputting data is a pain.
  • Does not run

    I would like my $ back. This app does not run.
  • Useless

    Save your money
  • Waste!!!!

    Well what is the probability of disappointment of this app.. 100% with a complement of zero % chance of successful satisfied customers.
  • Very basic

    I expected a much more interactive experience. Most of the distributions included only have formulas for mean, standard deviation, etc. which I could have easily looked up on my own. Not worth the purchase in my opinion
  • Useful but limited

    This app computes several basic statistics for selected distributions such as the normal and binomial. Basic descriptive statistics are also computed for arbitrary data sets input by the user. Bar charts, histograms, and scatterplots are produced and displayed.
    The app's best feature is the calculation of probabilities for several distributions.
    The limitations are serious but not disabling. Graphing and descriptive statistics are limited by the fact that data entry is strictly manual, one data point at a time. This means that only small data sets are practical to use.
    The worst limitation is that there is no means to save or print the results. So a student using the app for homework must copy the output by hand. This is not an issue for numerical output such as a mean or a probability, but it is a big issue for the plots.
    The best feature of the app and the main reason I would recommend the app to my statistics students is the probability calculations, which allow the student to avoid using tables.
  • Waste of my money

    Horrible. Not helpful at all.
  • Wasted my money and feel ripped off

    Did not include any deviation from or higher function of stat II I would expect. Avoid like the bubonic plague!
