### 2/5 — Lol

*2026-03-30, version 2.1.6*

3 dollars for an app and then having a 10 dollar subscription. this had to be of been made by white men 😭😭

### 4/5 — Pls add Russian language

*2026-01-18*

Хорошее приложение, если требуется точность, а не размытый ответ от ИИ. В математике особенно хорош

### 3/5 — We need another language

*2025-10-25, version 2.1.5*

Could you adopt Chinese.

### 5/5 — WolframAlpha app

*2025-10-22, version 2.1.5*

This is by far my most used app and I have many. As a math teacher, I can easily check my answers or find all the steps needed to get the answer. I must use this app several times a day. It’s the best $1.99 that I’ve ever spent. And it’s not just for math. I would highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — A Simple and Surprising App — It's Great!

*2025-10-17, version 2.1.5*

For finding answers, facts, solutions to equations – and much more – this app is a gem. It continues to astonish me with its breadth of topics, and easy to use options to delve deeper, or go sideways.

### 4/5 — Lifesaver

*2025-10-13, version 2.1.5*

Doing strings of hardware calculations and my TI won’t handle certain numerical grouping and pairings :-\. This tool has been a lifesaver on numerous occasions.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-08-28, version 2.1.4*

i’m a retired librarian had worked in New York City public libraries. I was impressed when I forgot the percentage calculation formula and asked Wolfram “$75.01 is 80% of what” It walked me through the math when it produced the answer.  Try it yourself.

### 5/5 — A++

*2025-08-06, version 2.1.4*

The best

### 5/5 — Consistent App, Perfect

*2025-07-02, version 2.1.4*

Its great to track our loved ones traversing across the planet…
Thanks

### 5/5 — The ultimate

*2025-06-22, version 2.1.4*

One of the best Apps available!

### 5/5 — WolframAlpha

*2025-05-04*

[2024년 9월]
소인수분해도 못하는 AI를 충분히 능가하는 최고의 검색엔진
다크 모드 추가해주세요

위 리뷰로 도움이 되는 리뷰 상단 3위까지 갔었죠. 하지만 상황이 크게 바뀐 것 같습니다. 추론형 AI는 콴다나 다른 서비스의 문제 풀이보다 훨씬 빠르고 무료로 이용 가능하며, 대부분의 경우 정확한 답을 제시합니다. 하지만 동시에 개인정보 보호, 환경오염, 과도한 유료화 등의 문제점 또한 안고 있습니다. 이러한 변화 속에서 Wolfram Alpha는 더 이상 과거처럼 '최고의 검색 엔진'이라는 독보적인 타이틀을 유지하는 대신, 그 자리를 일부 공유하게 되었습니다. 사용자들은 이제 자신의 필요에 따라 범용적인 AI와 전문적인 Wolfram Alpha를 적절히 선택하고 활용하는 능력이 필요해졌습니다.
최근 웹에서 한국어 지원을 시작한 것처럼, 앞으로도 지속적으로 사용자 편의성을 높여나가는 Wolfram Alpha가 됐으면 좋겠습니다.

### 5/5 — Very Good 👍

*2025-03-16, version 2.1.4*

I’d highly recommend this. I also like how it has no limit to how big the numbers can get!

### 5/5 — Wolfram Alpha ist die beste für IOS MacOS Software soweit ich etwas in dieser Klasse erprobt habe

*2025-02-20*

… und ich habe viel getestet. Sie hat mir beim Abi und später im Informatik Studium geholfen. Benutzt Mensch die App schon länger, ist es leider etwas schwer herauszufinden wo und ob es überhaupt einen Unterschied zwischen der Classic und Pro Version gibt - auch was der bringen sollte. Ich nutze schon sehr lange die Classic Version und es fehlt mir an nichts. Der Preis ist offenbar etwas gestiegen - die Software dürfte es trotzdem wert sein. Ich bin noch immer schwer begeistert.

Même avec pro student je ne peux pas accéder à la résolution de calculs par image, je dois passer à « premium pro » lamentable…

### 1/5 — Lost step-by-step option

*2025-05-09, version 2.1.4*

I paid for this app a couple of years ago (was a one Time purchase at the time, not a monthly or year subsciption) to be able to get the step-by-step solutions. Worked great for a long Time. Just changed m’y iPad and the step-by-step option is no longer avaylable on my new device. Very dissapointed as I don’t want to pay again for something I havé already purchased.

Hope you guys understand the issues.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very, very good.

*2026-07-10, version 2.1.6*

Almost never incorrect. Very helpful; does anything you ask. When robot women are invented, they should have Wolfram | Alpha preinstalled.

### 5/5 — All-round Great App

*2026-05-14, version 2.1.6*

I’ve had Wolfram Alpha on my iPhone for years, and use it regularly. Functionally versatile, there when I need it most, and easy to use. Thoroughly recommended!

### 5/5 — Good application

*2026-04-28*

Useful

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2026-03-06, version 2.1.5*

This App is really useful when you want trusted statistics or other reliable knowledge, especially important in this age of AI slop

### 5/5 — Wolfram

*2026-03-06, version 2.1.5*

There’s no problem involving numbers that Wolfram can’t handle.

### 5/5 — weirdly useful

*2026-03-03, version 2.1.5*

other than the struggle to communicate your requests at times, it makes gathering and computing information incredibly easy

### 5/5 — This is all you need

*2026-02-09, version 2.1.5*

The first APP I ever installed on my original iPhone 1

### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение

*2026-01-09*

Гениально!! Мастхэв. Используется несколько лет. Даже сейчас в эпоху ИИ остаётся незаменимой программой.

### 5/5 — Essential App for Everyone/ Add Dark Mode

*2025-11-23, version 2.1.5*

I love this app and the services Wolfram Alpha provides. I started using this as a student over 15 years ago and continue to use for personal and professional purposes. 
The app is great but please add a dark mode! There are not any settings for this and this is the only thing the app needs to add.

### 5/5 — Great AI but still needs work.

*2025-11-18, version 2.1.5*

I've found this and interesting step towards AI and actual English processing. I've enjoyed using if so far but fell there is room for improvement. I just don't know his yet. Thanks for what is clearly a step in the right direction.
