About this app

Remember the Star Trek computer? It's finally happening--with Wolfram|Alpha. Building on 25 years of development led by Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram|Alpha has rapidly become the world's definitive source for instant expert knowledge and computation.

Across thousands of domains--with more continually added--Wolfram|Alpha uses its vast collection of algorithms and data to compute answers and generate reports for you.

Parts of Wolfram|Alpha are used in the Apple Siri Assistant; this app gives you access to the full power of the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine. Domains covered by Wolfram|Alpha include:

Ratings and reviews

Best app purchase I've ever made. Often I purchase apps and in-app items and forget about them a month or two later. This app has lasted me years, and I don't regret buying it at all. I do wish the keyboard was a little better, and there are plenty of UI fixes I would suggest. However, having the power of extended computation time is worth the trouble.

One of if not the best app(s) hands down. Solutions are very detailed with work included and has almost every if not every math topic in existence built into it. The cool thing is that it's not just math that it can cover, it can do almost everything from science to music to arts to transportation and way more. Going through all the different topics and examples is an experience in it of itself. If I could only buy one app, I'd pick this one in a heartbeat.

Overall it is a good app but there are still issues with it. 1: it takes awhile to calculate not very long, but still long enough to be a mild inconvenience. 2: you're questions must be specific, if they aren't then it will probably be unable to give any sort of answer to the question. 3: the keys on the in-app custom keyboard are very small so it's a bit more difficult to type in a question (although at least there is the option of disabling it).
