For problems with several unknowns, there's either only one unknown you're allowed to solve for or four different tabs which is really confusing. And you need to be connected to the internet to use it? I'm hoping someone comes out with a better physics app soon ### 1/5 — Connection timeout forever... *2011-07-09* It's been two weeks that I have this app and I can count on the fingers of one hand how many times I could actually have something solved. Each and every 'solving' requires the program to connect to the Internet, then there's the "Computing..." screen with the spinning logo and the timeout message. Total disappointment. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Physics Prof *2014-09-10* Will not be buying any more apps like this one... Should have gotten a coke instead as it would have been more satisfying and useful. Program just doesn't do anything useful. It is also terribly incomplete. Wasted my time and money. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2012-10-13* It freezes every time i open it and after few seconds it closes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't waste your money!!!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't help *2012-09-08* If you're in college and even in basic intro physics, stop, don't waste your time and money. The only wolfram app worth anything is the calculus app. Even the chem app is garbage!!! ### 1/5 — No *2012-07-01* I meant to get number two... ### 1/5 — Too simplistic *2012-06-06* This app can only handle the must basic problems, it's not worth the money. ### 1/5 — Student *2012-05-02* Useless. It does not help me at all with my physics homework. It's basically a weak, limited calculator. No instruction or support for physics, it's the same as rearranging the formulas. My first app review... Had to do so people wouldn't make the same mistake and waste they're money on this. ### 1/5 — Watse of money *2012-02-10* App doesn't even work. Complete waste of my money. ### 1/5 — Crashes frequently *2012-01-14* Crashes like crazy on my iPhone 4s. Not enough info and physics help on this app to be worth the money. ### 1/5 — Didn't need it once *2011-11-29* Do you really need an app to calculate .5mv^2? No, a calculator is much faster. If you need this app then you're going to fail phys 1 anyway ### 1/5 — Physics I: good screenshots, but won't load into iPhone *2011-09-18* Physics II works fine on my iPhone 3G (waiting for the maybe soon iPhone 5), but Physics I will not sync into the phone, even though it appears in the app view of the sync window for the phone. After syncing, restarting, and resyncing several times, I tried the "support site", which will let me hire a speaker to speak to my company about the quality of Wolfram products and support, but the site does not allow actually asking questions. Reminds me of Microsoft Word 3, which MS put out without beta testing. I tend not to buy anything from companies that don't respect customers enough to test their products. Are you listening now, Wolfram? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2012-03-22* I find this to be an incredible app, both 1 and 2. I have zero crash issues and it runs every time. Super helpful!!! ### 5/5 — Good app, great service. *2011-12-21* This app converts inputs relating to physics into the Wolfram machine. You are paying for the convenience of not having to do this with the web app or Wolfram Alpha app (which is just amazing!) This app does not compute or have stored diagrams so I wouldn't recommend for the poor. 10/10! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2011-09-06* One of the most useful apps for any student this $3.00 is defiantly worth it. ### 5/5 — Had They an iPad, The Big Three Would Have Invented This App *2011-06-21* Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler would have loved to had something like this for their physics classes. Math and physics should be enjoyable. This app helps to stay on that circuitous path. ### 4/5 — Not bad when it runs *2012-01-21* I'm a Physics teacher and I'd think this app would be good for educational purposes, however the loading time at the start is way too long (and I'm using the ipad 2!). It would be good if on the next update this loading time can be reduced. ### 4/5 — Please fix *2012-01-09* Keep getting kicked out the app. Can be working a problem on my iPhone 4 and get kicked out. Not good!!!! Other than that it's a great app ### 3/5 — No Wi-Fi *2012-01-12* It woyld really be helpful if you could use this app with out having to have internet or STATING THAT IN THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Seeing that i can't get wifi it is a waste of 2 buck...could you guys find a way to fix or change that. Besides that the app has alot of potencial. ### 3/5 — Help *2011-12-06* This is a great app. When it works. After upgrading to ios 5 it appears that there are no attempts to fix bugs and the problems with crashing. ### 3/5 — Very limited *2011-09-29* Probably useful for high school physics but too basic for a general physics class in college. Won't really help you solve much ### 3/5 — Missing IPad-like interactions *2011-06-19* There are some great things here, especially if you want to check your work on problems for the targeted physics class. Much of this would be the same on a good graphing calculator with a bit of programming. The app does not really use the cool space of the iPad, so it sort of misses an opportunity. The picture shows the force diagram of a block on an inclined plane, as if you might be able to manipulate something using touches and gestures to interactively set up problems and then see their solutions. No such luck. It's almost like a pared-down version of the regular wolfram alpha app, which can be useful, just not as exciting as I expected. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
