LIterally nothing better Where do I start... They can answer damn near any math question you've got. With a whole bunch of different representations of the solution. Its incredible. I bought this app twice now... Switched from iphone to android... Worth it both times. Step by step problem solving... Fact checker or just basic research engine really.... Only problem... No camera input so math problems have to be handtyped.

David K.

Its not better than web where is my search history? Cache of search results? Where is tutorial mode? Where are news for features and explore mode for all the features? Why there is no side drawer? Show me how awesome is app, i know it is, but hiding info is not goi g to help. Im new to this and dont know what to do except math questions. You have this on your page but mobile app should be friendlier than web that is the reason why i bought app. User experience needs serius work.

Marco Polo

Key board. And suggestion One the keyboard is atrocious it is very in responsive and straight just doesn't work well. One suggestion of mine that would get this up to 5 stars is if there was a "home" page in which there would be like most searched inquiries for the week or month and maybe a top pick of interesting results (or facts ) picked by the staff. In all the app is not bad to any degree and is very functional and helpful I would gladly of paid 5 dollars for it rather than 4. 4/5 stars would recommend again

Pratyush Ghosh

Speaking as a post graduate student of theoretical mathematics, the mathematical abilities of this app really floored me. Its ability to correctly interpret and solve complex mathematical expressions is very impressive, and I like that it gives all sorts of additional information about it too. The interface is interactive and fluid. Can't thank the developers enough for making something like this, worth every penny and more!

Skip Montanaro

Missing some basic features It would be nice if the alphanumeric portion of the keyboard supported SWYPE... There seems to be no way to access a menu, provide feedback, get a tutorial, our anything else within the app. Fortunately, I've used the website for some basic things before, so wasn't entirely lost.

joey potelle

This app is freaking amazing There are so many features but I know the creators can do more. This app will get better and more efficient I know potential when I see it. Maybe connecting to your accounts and compiling data from it. Find other programs that do new and innovative things and emulate them and integrate them. Try. I'm posing the input text box. Have the program ask questions if it cannot understand what is being asked.

Works great for me It comprises a great overview when you search for companies. It can show a whole lot about countries and cities. It gives all possible solutions when searching an equation. It even plots graphs. It's pretty awesome for a single app to do all this. I use an xperia m4 aqua with android 5.0 and have encountered no bugs so far. It's an insane access to useful information in few seconds. I loved it.

Ryu Takada April 25, 2016

Great app I wish they'd add the option to see the way of a solution about series. Where it checks if a series converges or diverges. Right now it only tells you which and what type of test is used to check but the actual way is left off. PLEASE ADD A BACK BUTTON TO SEE THE PREVIOUS QUERY seriously, if you tap the back on your phone it exits the app from every screen... WTF. Why not show the previous query(calculation) that I did instead??

Marshall Whittaker July 29, 2016

Terrific app but NO pro on website!! This a wonderful tool for me as a computer programmer however.... When I decided to buy this app I was under the impression that I would be able to sign in the Wolfram Alpha website for the full desktop pro edition. You cannot!!! Misleading! Will give 5 stars when I get a lifetime pro membership on the site as I had expected. Please make this clearer on the app stores.

Tisha Beedle October 16, 2015

This is a cool idea, but I had trouble finding the answer I wanted. I tested it with the question "what alloy is in stainless steel to make it corrosion resistant". Now, I know the answer is chromium. It gave me everything, but the answer of chromium...melting point, hardness, ect...all of the physical properties of it minus chromium, which is what makes stainless steel stainless. I even tried altering my question with no luck.

Brian Schultz April 11, 2016

Supercomputer in my pocket? Wolfram Alpha close to the work of science fiction. It's faster and smarter than Google or my TI-84 Plus. Wolfram Alpha can solve any math problem, calculus, algebra, or basic arithmetic (step-by-step explanation included)! Wolfram Alpha can find any information and analyze it for you. Don't let the price fool you, either. At $3, it may be above the market anchor, but it's well worth it. A must have for advanced math students (and infomaniacs). EDIT: I haven't had technical issues as with other reviewers.

Zanzibar Zedley March 16, 2016

Ok but missing crucial desktop facility The ONLY reason I bought this was so I could have a somewhat similar experience on mobile. However the critical feature of "random" as an entry is sorely missing from the mobile version. It cannot be too tough to implement what is already an auxiliary action on desktop on mobile, especially given that the desktop platform is free.

notstarboard November 21, 2015

Bug fixes only for years now The UI very antiquated, and the keyboard has a maddening input delay that makes fast typing difficult. This app should get a material redesign, but even if that isn't happening it definitely needs sprucing up. Look at the screenshots - the UI hasn't been changed since Jelly Bean at the latest.

matt dunaway January 29, 2016

Very useful, sometimes.. I'm currently using this for algebra and after some use I'm changing my 5star rating to 3. The reason for this is because of the user interface. It does show a step by step solution to one form of solving an equation; however, in some cases where there is more than one solution it fails to provide the step by step for those other solutions. allow the user to decide which method to learn and I'll definitely change the rating. The problem was x^2-d=(x+c)(x-12), for d&c. Apparently d=144. Why??

schno February 19, 2016

Can't access the settings Recently purchased Wolfram Alpha for my OnePlus X and am loving it! A lot of resources available, especially helpful for students! Sadly I can't access the menu due to the lack of a hardware settings key... Are there any fixes for this?

Wolf's Heart Goins March 23, 2016

Not what I wanted OK, I admit it, I fell for the Star 🌟 Trek computer 💻 line. Silly me, huh!? Fool me once, it's my bad, fool me twice it's all on y'all for falsifying what y'all r about. I found this app under health history info. Huh? I found a whole lot of stuff this app is reportedly capable of, but it can't store my medical history. This is a problem for me, folks. How do I get a refund? After finding out all of this, the thing crashes on me about 2 minutes after install on my Samsung Galaxy N5.

Andrew McSwain November 9, 2015

A sham Good for doing abstract math problems and personalized trivia-- that's it. No access to economic, financial and commercial information like NFP, LTE, NHS, commercial paper, corporate debt, or even USDJPY -- one of the world's most liquid financial instruments. What little info there is i cant manipulate at all a simple comparison or correlation coefficient). Limited geo maps. This app is better than a it was a year ago, but there's still more work to be done than not.

Benjamin Wiebe March 6, 2016

Don't Bother, Use the Site A great service with a terrible app. The interface is clunky and annoying to use, plus the forced keyboard causes for difficulties with typing simple phrases. Overall you're much better off just using the web site from your device's browser.

Spencer Dirrim October 14, 2015

Unpredictable except for simple arithmetic Ask it for statistical operations on a set of data. Or information about chemical mixtures. Or a few other things that I have spent longer trying to get wolfram to understand than it would have taken me to look up the equations and do then myself. This is barely more powerful than a Google search bar, if that.

Bryan Liang October 22, 2015

Unacceptable UI This was one of the more pricier apps in the play store, so I at least expect an app with more time and thought put into the interface. The UI is outdated, and the keyboard is a pain to use. A simple keyboard with an expandable feature would be much easier to use.

Matt Mower February 14, 2016

Unfriendly keyboard While Wolfram Alpha is quite powerful and useful, the keyboard in this app is difficult to navigate. Two boards with several layers makes it hard to remember where some symbols are located. More focus needs to be paid to UX (and UI for that matter... no application should have 3/4 of the screen real estate dedicated to a keyboard).

Kelsey Gurrana December 23, 2015

Clunky Keyboard I don't care for the in-app keyboard, why can't it be the phones keyboard? It makes typing cumbersome. I've stopped using this app for this exact reason and just use the online Wolfram. Waste of time.

Santiago Kummert August 27, 2016

Could be much better Correct and detailed, but some issues need to be addressed. I often get the message "computation timed out" on several sections and have to refresh several times to get all the info. Why can't it just keep searching until it finds the data (when there actually is data) instead of me having to refresh it again and again until all the data loads. Also it would be nice if when hitting the back button if came back to the previous searches instead of just leaving the app.

Michael Tomblin January 2, 2016

Heavy calculation and computing in the palm of your hand This is a great app and I hope to use it more. The interface could be a bit more user friendly. Imagine a graphing scientific calculator, computer algebra system, and search engine all in the same package.

Gareth Meyer July 13, 2016

My all time favorite app I used this app on Apple. Saw the light and now I am on Android. Loved it on Apple and love it on Android. It's cheap for what you get and in my case that was passing 3 years of university maths. I especially love the step by step solutions which are particularly helpful for derivatives and integration

Byron Xu December 6, 2015

Fix the keyboard. The typing is unresponsive and a pain to use. Some features (solving systems of equations) don't work as well. Waste of money - you're better off using the website.

David Hart February 9, 2016

Update: Gets much better the more you use it. I previously gave this app a two star rating for its apparent denseness when trying to get it to recognise non-US centric terms or items. However, that was unfair as using it more, I have to admit when it gets the search right the amount of information retrieved is outstanding. Still 4 stars rather than 5 as it can be infuriating sometimes. If you are a new user of the app, I recommend trying the sample search terms which are buried away in the menu under examples.

Wolfram Group September 29, 2015

Please feel free to send us feedback directly from the app regarding different content you would like to see available in the app. We appreciate feedback and comments from users.

Pablo Oseroff July 27, 2016

The Go-to App for Any Problem's Solution Quite literally the best math app! I'm studying engineering and this is my go-to app to check if I did everything right. That's this app's strong point, it shows you the steps it took! My only complaint is it doesn't comply with Material Design. If it weren't for that, it would be perfect for sure!

Asbjørn Krüger July 15, 2016

Nice functionality, bad design The app hasn't been updated the last 2-3 years. The app is now slow, outdated and has a design stuck in the past. The underlying function is great, but this app is horrendous. If the website wasn't so bad on mobile, I would have used it instead.

Tim Jones March 25, 2016

Needs relevant keyboards Can you add a selection of keyboards so depending on what type of question is being asked a specifically relevant choice of characters is available? I realise this is just an expensive interface to your web app, so we should get something for our money!

Dean Reichel July 4, 2016

NO INPUT HISTORY Enough said. Nobody should buy this until the fix this simple issue. My stock Android calculator has input history! Too bad it can't do much calculus.

Kai Yamagiwa March 1, 2016

Would give 5 star but There is no ability to go back, it just exits the application if you try. I would to to go back to the last problem or have a running list of the problems that I have entered so I can easily go back

Mark Lawrence February 18, 2016

A usually superb tool sadly compromised by crashing This is a superb app for finding out detailed information about almost any subject. It's like a searchable and automatically cross referencing encyclopaedia. Sadly I'm finding the app currently unusable because it crashes every time it produces a report. Stock 6.0.1 Nexus 6P.

Adrian Li October 19, 2015

Only one problem Extremely good app, can rival even Google with its organized information and broad knowledge. Only problem is technical:the keyboard provided is quite unresponsive and inaccurate on my phone, for example it may type two letters when I only input one because of the low keyboard sensitivity. I am forced to type slowly because of that. Please fix!

Mike Thanks May 8, 2016

Mobile data parsing issue Tested on 2 separate android devices and the conclusion is that if you are connected to your mobile data wolfram will give an error saying that it cannot parse the results. Works fine on Wi-Fi. Please fix this bug.

Dominik Juriga October 21, 2015

Amazing application for students! So far, it has solved all of my problems! It is a really great app and definitely worth the price. I haven't noticed any minor bugs, overally I have to recommend it!

Makiah Merritt December 7, 2015

Extremely useful This app is very helpful while doing calculus problems. Problem recognition is accurate once you find the right way to type it. Pairing this app with the Desmos graphing app means I have everything I need on my phone for math.

Shia LaBeouf November 25, 2015

Absolutely groundbreaking. Say what you will. But this language that Wolfram Alpha has created is incredible. This app is capable of solving almost any algebraic problem you can type. The sea of knowledge and intelligence that resides here is a human achievement. Thank you so much for this.

Gage Hutchins April 1, 2016

Can't believe I paid for this crap Their feedback form always fails with a 404 error! 19 out of 20 queries are timing out, so I keep retrying and retrying... Very bitter in a professional app I just paid money for! It would be better if you locally cache results data for when your servers aren't very responsive. At least allow instant recall of history results from local cache.

Pablo Aguilar September 29, 2015

Astonishing This app is good for homework and for showing you how to solve problems. It isn't just a calculator that throws you the answer. This is an app that really calculates the problem and then shows you the step by step process in doing so. This gives me a better idea for solving a math equation since it shows me how to do the problem. I recommend this app if you are having trouble with a particular subject for students and/or for a job.
