### 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.

### 3/5 — Buggy but premium

*2025-03-15, version 2.5.2*

Math format input is surprisingly buggy, often has problems with horizontal scrolling. It’s more reliable to enter equations as plain text, although comprehension needs an AI boost for 2025

### 1/5 — unusable, spanish-only, might be a scam

*2025-03-03*

App language is set to spanish and changing it in the settings does not actually change the language. I cannot use the app and it‘s crazy that not even the language setting is working.

**Developer response:** Within the app, you can change the language in the Account tab. If you continue to experience this issue, please contact us at info@wolframalpha.com

### 1/5 — Bought subscription

*2025-02-16*

This app is trash bro it doesn’t been give me the correct answers im better up making up my own formulas

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. Can you please provide further details on the issue you are facing? Which queries are you entering and getting an incorrect answer for? Feel free to contact us at info@wolframalpha.com for assistance. We will be happy to look into this and help resolve.

### 1/5 — ㅈㄹ났다

*2025-02-10*

입력을 해도 계속 풀 수 없다고 뜬다. 차라리 웹사이트를 쓰도록 하자.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this issue. We are investigating and hope to resolve it soon.
UPDATE: This issue should be resolved now without requiring an app update. Thanks for helping us improve!

### 4/5 — German

*2025-01-24*

Please also add the German language.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-01-15*

I pay for a subscription and the app is quite buggy and also keeps logging me out. Frustrating to use. I stick with browser now unfortunately.

**Developer response:** If you're still experiencing issues, please do send in feedback.

### 3/5 — When pushing a keyboard

*2025-01-06*

When pushing to access more symbols to the math keyboard, I get nothing

**Developer response:** We believe this to be working properly now. If you're still experiencing issues please let us know.

### 1/5 — VERSION FRANÇAISE

*2025-01-04*

Déçu….Je croyais qu’il existait une version française.

### 1/5 — Won’t change language !

*2024-12-24*

This app decided to use Japanese for some reason and won’t change. Unfortunately my Japanese is a little rusty ! Nice try though !

### 1/5 — 사진 사용

*2024-10-29*

이걸로는 초등학교 문제도 못풀어요
사용하지 마세요

### 2/5 — Handwritten math recognition

*2024-10-21*

It does correctly preview recognized math from the photo but when clicked on “compute” the wolfram gets the math input messed up. Very disappointed that this feature does not work at all:( Bought subscription only to have access to handwritten math recognition.

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Can you please contact us at info@wolframalpha.com with steps on how to reproduce your issue? We will be happy to look into this further and help resolve.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-09-25, version 2.4.0*

This is a waste of money… by far the worst app I’ve ever used for math assistance. Camera analysis doesn’t work as advertised. Terrible terrible app.

### 1/5 — App is in Japanese

*2024-07-09*

I have a Japanese keyboard configured but my language and region are German but for some reason WA insists to be in Japanese. Since I’m a beginner of Japanese the app is now unusable for me.

### 3/5 — Can’t use mathematical input

*2024-07-06, version 2.4.0*

Got buggy on iPhone and iPad

### 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

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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Mittlerweile Schlecht

*2025-05-06*

Kaputt oder verlassen, die Sprache ist auf Spanisch gesetzt und warum auch immer nicht änderbar. Die meisten Features sind nur ab 12€ benutzbar, wobei einige davon bei Konkurrenten nun Standard sind.

### 1/5 — удалите приложение мне поставили два

### 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…

### 5/5 — Essential App for Math

*2025-03-09, version 2.5.2*

Gives Definitions and step by step solutions.

### 5/5 — The best

*2024-10-29, version 2.4.1*

The best for advanced maths, but you will need to buy a subscription (fairly expensive) to get all the features.

### 5/5 — All

*2024-05-31, version 2.3.1*

This app is the best for math and other stuff too as it gives lots of free features that most apps have a “pro features” so that is why I like this app so much.

### 5/5 — Hopefully, you keep supporting our old fella “Wolfram”

*2024-04-03*

Hopefully, you keep supporting our old fella “Wolfram.” Not sure why the price is so high 🤣. And totally don’t like subscription methods.
