### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-10*

Bad OCR, app stuck in chinese. It's just annoying.

### 1/5 — SCAM DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

*2026-03-14*

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! Wolfram is a scam company where the AI hardly works and the picture/image thing is a joke. You can tell the developers family were long line of crooks but the devs were to nerdy so they jumped on this scam train.

**Developer response:** If you are experiencing any issues with our app, we would be happy to assist. We appreciate all feedback in helping improve our apps. You may also contact us at info@wolframalpha.com

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2026-03-04, version 2.6.1*

No response after clicking enter.

### 1/5 — Nicht brauchbar!

*2026-01-07*

Sprache lässt sich nicht ändern.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-10-21*

Es erkennt nichts mehr und viele Funktionen sind nur über bezahlmodus verfügbar

### 1/5 — really buggy

*2025-10-06, version 2.6.0*

the app is real bad, the search bar has become literally unusable for me no matter if i delete and reinstall. please fix

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-06, version 2.5.5*

Does not work cannot analyze images

### 3/5 — No Problem Generator

*2025-08-23*

The first thing I wanted to use when I downloaded this app was the math problem generator that is on the Wolfram|Alpha website. I couldn’t find this feature in the app and there doesn’t seem to be a lot of features overall, although there are slightly more available with a subscription. Without signing up for one, you can search Wolfram|Alpha and look at some reference examples and that’s basically it. With the subscription, it looks like the features that are available are mostly marketed as ways to cheat on homework.

### 1/5 — Did anyone test this?

*2025-05-31, version 2.5.4*

It crashes every time I try to type something into the query field.

### 5/5 — Great for my use case

*2025-05-31, version 2.5.4*

I use this for complex date calculations, and I really appreciate the custom keyboard as well. I also appreciate WolframAlpha as the OG in the intelligent data processing field, well before the current “consumer AI LLM” bandwagon…
