Extremely useful and a steal at this price. The step by step solutions are great if you're still learning math or just stuck on a certain problem and the syntax allows for such a broad array of inquiries that I almost always find the answer to what I'm looking for. Probably the only app that makes me wish for more microtransactions because I almost feel guilty for how much use I'm getting out of it.
Reviews for WolframAlpha Classic
← Back to WolframAlpha ClassicNot as good as the paid web version, but better than the free web version. Definitely worth it.
This app is fairly amazing and it WAS a great purchase until just like almost every other application that we all thought would be a one-time purchase, the developers decided to make numerous levels of pro, pro+ monthly subscription options, and a new version of the app which from reading the reviews, not to many people care for. Most Importantly, I noticed the developers didn't care to include in the app description that it contains in-app purchases... Probably because it originally DIDN'T!
This app used to be excellent some three to five years ago. Search engines nowadays are slowly including many features that WolframAlpha has, while it is stuck in one place. (Not saying that this is a search engine!) I would agree that this app is in many cases still useful, but overall it is not worth the money. Not mentioning the slow computing speed. The input method isn't even suited for math problems, though that is the most useful feature (at least for me).
While it's great, as far as I can tell there's a file upload/image upload in iOS, which isn't possible to use on the app on Android. I'm not sure why and it's alienating a lot of functionality just because someone doesn't have iOS. Maybe I'm wrong, but if so it's incredibly confusing to figure out how to use on the app. And there's no way to pay extra to unlock it, whereas apparently on iOS there is.
On its way, I use mostly for math related questions but allot of the times it doesn't give plot points or step by step solutions. Fairly lazy programming for a paid app.
It was much more capable until regular WolframAlpha got a subscription based premium plan. I think it would be fair to give WolframAlpha Classic owners who actually paid for premium features a permanent premium subscription in regular WolframAlpha.
it's a useful app. but it lacks many basic feature like giving access to external keyboard, and need better search recommendations for questions that it may not understand if it gave modified question that the computer can understand will be great. and it really needs UI update.
Somehow less financial than just going to the website. Now all the results are invisible and it can barely parse inputs. Basically useless.
If you need specific information about anything, the app does a great job presenting it. It is a bit slow at computing everything and it requires really specific input to give the desired results (can get used to that). The UI is a bit outdated and the in-app keyboard is clumsy (you can disable it and I do not use it) but it does what it needs to do. I recommend it, it really is a good source of information.
After installing the latest update, the app stopped working. There is no output for the queries.
Very upset with the Wolfram alpha team. I remember when this online app was free and fantastic. But that's not even my complaint. Not only has premium plagued this app but it cannot solve any sort of difficult ODE problem. In my multivariable diff eq class, none of the difficult problems the teacher assigns come back with results, or if they do it is rather spontaneous and a weird route to the solution (not that I mind, when that happens). I'm upset that the app times out when things get hard.
The app is great definitely recommend the premium account if you're in college. However if you're trying to take the integral of any trig function to a power greater than 3 you are out of luck because it will not compute the answer. Again for the most part this is very helpful but every now and again it cannot help you and just says "timed out".
This is the best app for calculating anything. It's not too pricey and it does a lot. Find statistics, probability, graphing nearly anything, all math that I can think of, elemental data, geography, historic events, data on specific people in history, and more! Not only just that, but Wolfram Alpha also does fun things, type in a common food or dish and it will give you the average nutritional information, or names to find his common thy are. Type multiple names and you get comparisons. Password strength tests, and much more that I haven't even used yet!
This app is phenomenal! Just to look up information in the Chegg app cost approximately $15 per month. Chegg charges an additional fee ($10 per month to look up their Math). After paying for both services, I was very unhappy because it did not help me with my school work at all. The answers were wrong that they provided! WolframAlpha has been exactly correct with every answer so far! The one time fee for the purchase of the app is astonishing, ($2.99 with correct answers) you can't go wrong!
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.
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.
Since 10/7, doesn't display any info on the page it loads after I input *anything*. It loads a page with the normal boxes/categories (graph, derivative, etc.), but inside the boxes there's no actual graph displayed, no derivative shown, no text anywhere, etc. I am on latest version of Android, using a Samsung Galaxy S21. edit: I tried uninstall & reinstall, & also restarting my phone. No matter the input, after I hit the arrow (the 'enter' symbol next to input bar) it just loads the blank page.
This is probably THE best app for anybody in STEM (sometimes called STEAM). I think the sheer amount of information and and computational ability is worth far more than when $10. It's like better than an $100 graphing calculator and it's just an app?!?! Truly a work of art. Well, maybe not art. If the UI was updated and the whole app was better for navigating and getting lost down a rabbit home of interest, then this would be a TRUE with of art.
Just one of those meticulously crafted apps that shine above the rest. it will show you answers to questions that you can't find elsewhere. what amazed me was I typed in the symbols for alpha and Omega, using the Greek style keyboard, and what it showed me amaze me, a scalar plane, rippling upward and downward. the possibilities to obtain information in this app are extremely far-reaching and can help you in many many different situations and scenarios!
