WolframAlpha for Negative User Reviews
✓ BadCrashes straight away.Version: 1.8.5
✓ Formerly a solid 5 stars, but 1/2 stopped workingSince I upgraded my phone it no longer tracks my history, which makes it a super pain for trying variations of previous problems. Absolutely loved Wolfram Alpha before this happened. Still better than any competing app that I’m aware of. Except price has gone way up..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Hopefully, you keep supporting our old fella “Wolfram”Hopefully, you keep supporting our old fella “Wolfram.” Not sure why the price is so high 🤣. And totally don’t like subscription methods..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Just about useless...Ask Siri a question... get sent to this for a non-answer. For example, "Where was Abraham Lincoln shot?" gave his life-span only. Wikipedia, on the other hand, gives a brief summary then plenty of detail. Deleted..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Free Version = Same as web but 3x more adsTL;DR - Use the website for a vastly improved experience. The free version of the app at least functions roughly the same as the website. The only difference is that in this app at any given moment 35-70% of your screen will be taken by ads you can’t hide, and the rest will have icons throughout for functions that you can’t use unless you pay. It is honestly an embarrassment of an app that really only exists as an ad platform for their subscriptions, which come in the form of 30+ other apps that I’m sure all have ads for all the other ones. It’s basically a multi-level-marketing scheme in app form..Version: 2.2.1
✓ UghI asked Siri to help me translate Braille... downloaded this and it doesn’t even have Braille. Deleted. 😡.Version: 1.8.5
✓ Siri does not activate appSiri gets the result but the app does not open. The apple store does... therefore not usable..Version: 2.0.6
✓ FakeIf you click on the website it brings you to a sketchy website which looks nothing like the real one.Version: 1.8.5
✓ Don’t even recommend Just Another Kpop FanOk so I asked a specific question to Siri and it led me to this app. I decided to give it a try even after reading all of the horrible reviews and now I know why it’s horrible. This app is honestly just confusing to use..Version: 1.8.5
✓ Annoyingly limitedThe calculations offered seem good but the screen is obscured by a buy pro version. Then you discover it’s £9.95. Easier and free online calculating sites that you can save to the home page..Version: 2.1.3
✓ 1 step forward and 2 steps backWolframAlpha Classic was great. Pay once and get step-by step solutions and access to the magic that is WolframAlpha. The new app is not. Pay $10 a month or $60 a year for a a little app on your phone. Yes, they improved the interface and inputs. It isn’t worth forking out so much money for one little app..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Very limitedThis app is very limited. There’s a character limit so if you want to put in even very small datasets it will not work even if you pay for the pro version.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Waste of timeUseless..Version: 1.1.2.2015011901
✓ Big Intangible Ad toolIf you want to buy this app because of Siri, I would like to suggest you to stay away from this app if you don’t want to hate Siri / 🍎. Also, just like every other reviews it’s not that very good of an app itself. And in my own humble opinion this is not a very good marketing strategy to used Siri as an Ad tool. Because in the mindset of consumer Siri is like intangible Brand Ambassador of I devices 🍎. It could have a bad impact on Brand itself. Sorry about the honest harsh review..Version: 1.8.5
✓ New app for subscription? What?I’ve already bought classic app. Why do I need new app for subscription?.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Appears to be a demo of the for pay versionAppears to be a demo of the for pay version.Version: 1.0.0.3747992
✓ Hmmm an alert says it might be pretending to be WolframAlphaThe site certs are invalid, so has this really been developed by WolframAlpha, or is it a fake?.Version: 1.8
✓ Doesn’t workI never even got an answer!!😡.Version: 1.8
✓ Doesn’t allow queries / searchesI ignored all other negative reviews thinking people were exaggerating or didn’t know how to use app… But sadly it turns out, I understand the frustration. The website is superior as you can write custom queries, while this app only allows you to select predefined queries. If you try to write or search something, it just pops-up saying to get the paid version. Pretty useless in its current state - it’s like downloading a Google search app which only lets you pick predefined searches! It would have been better if the company allowed searching but with ads; otherwise, don’t release this crippled app which destroys your reputation..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Doesnt workThis version is stupid, it gives you confusing examples which you dont even ask for, i downloaded it from siri and neither siri or this stupid app could work out a simple question: what times to make 150 and adds to make -35? Utterly useless app.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Ok but...This seems like an interesting app but seems pretty useless with the free version. The paid version could be ok but is too expensive for what it is..Version: 1.0.0.3747992
✓ Cant do anything on this thingTitle says it all.Version: 1.1.0
✓ ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLEThe title explains it <:(.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Why?Why does there need to be a new app to do the same thing? What it’s the point of purchasing the app (like I did the previous app), only to have you transition to a FAR more expensive subscription service. Not to mention this app takes up significantly more memory than the previous app… just to do the same stuff… I don’t get it!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Not a working appJust an advert for the paid app.Version: 1.8.5
✓ GarbageWhat a ridiculous app. Why would anybody put their name on this? It seems to be totally useless. There are no directions for how to even use it, what it is, to what is it supposed to do. All I know is nobody here likes it but I don’t even pretend to know what it supposed to do. I asked Siri she doesn’t know what it does. Why? Because it does nothing. I’d hate to have wasted $ for a $2.99 version. It does nothing. I just like don’t like wasting my time so that’s just as bad..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Not as good as nowThe information seems outdated and lacking. Originally it was wonderful. Now it’s occasionally useful. It was better when it was free..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Used to offer step by stepChatbot is the way to go - at least until they start with the subscription path as well.Version: 2.2
✓ Abysmal AppGot this to help me with English homework. Before I purchased it Siri used to give me suggestions based on WolframAlpha, now it just searches the web. When I try to type anything into the app it just tells me to get the payed version. DELETED!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Crashes on openWhenever attempting to open this from Siri it just crashes. Reinstalled twice. Was going to buy the full version but not until this is fixed..Version: 1.0.0.4342748
✓ App Crashes if You View from SiriI realize that this is not the full WolframAlpha app and that you can view sample items or ask Apple’s “Siri” specific questions, but it hasn’t been that great of an app. In my experience, the sample information that you view from opening the app is good, but every time I click Siri’s link to the Viewer app, it crashes. I’ve tried again multiple times, but the only information I can get from the app is the sample information. I realize that some of the other reviews do say that it works well, so I would encourage you to at least try it out..Version: 1.8.5
✓ Annoying 😡Rubbish doesn’t even let me type something in 😡deleted.Version: 2.0.6
✓ PointlessCompletely pointless app. More often than not, Siri directs you to the wolfram website anyway. This app is just a vehicle to point you at the paid app. Lasted less than a day on my phone..Version: 1.1.0
✓ WorlframAlpha reviewThis app is awful it’s helps you not one bit.😡..Version: 1.8.5
✓ Reduced functionality = no functionalityYou can't search anything, you can even enter numbers in the math section. There's one example of everything it can do, but if you want to compute anything you have to buy the full version. It would be nice if they mentioned that the reduced functionality meant that you couldn't actually do anything. This app is a waste of time, I don't even know why they made it..Version: 1.0.0
✓ They want you pay this app again!I bought this app many year's ago. Now they want me to be a subscriber. I'll go get ChatGPT and no more money for you guys!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ UselessUseless and now I assume if I pay them $9.99 a month after already paying for this app it will only be more useless. What a waste of my time..Version: 2.2.1
✓ I Paid For The App Now They Want To Do A SubscriptionWhy not grandfather in your early users. To try and use it and find out you cancelled the other app that I bought and now you want subscription. No Thanks. Chat GPT will probably kill your business..Version: 2.2
✓ My poor vision my problemHave u ever heard of a black dark theme? u know for the people with disabilities. but everyone is above accessibility rights so u must be to..Version: 2.2
✓ PointlessI don’t even know why they made this an app. It is terrible and pointless there is nothing to do on it and it wastes your time. Do not download it because it will take up Storage and will be pointless. It may seem interesting but trust me it’s not. You can download it if you want but trust me it just taking up your time.😕🙁☹️😞😒😟😔😠👺👿😼😾.Version: 1.8.5
✓ DisappointmentThe app does not live up to it's hype... After a few simple questions that yielded wrong answers it is clear that this is not a reliable resource...Version: 1.0.0.3747992
✓ No free trial before paying is ridiculousHow am i supposed to evaluate if the paid features are useful to me?.Version: 2.2.2
✓ App languageI don’t read Japanese, can’t really understand what’s going on with the app’s setting.Version: 2.2
✓ Depends on your useFor me, this app is a great help. I frequently use the Wolfram Alpha full site to solve differential equations. However, the site will not let me see step solutions. Using this app, I can get the steps. On the other hand, if you use Siri to ask questions such as "what is the capital of Spain?" you will find this app next to useless. Unfortunately, the app does not allow you to make new searches. Instead you have to ask Siri, and then tap the Wolfram logo in the lower right corner. Personally I think these features should just get integrated right into Siri..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Doesn't workCrashes from Siri, until that is fixed it is pretty much useless.Version: 1.0.0.4342748
✓ ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFULEww I’m deleting this before I catch the ‘waste of storage and time disease’ what is this it only gives you super limited answers and points you to the paid app when Siri does it and it’s free DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS MONSTROSITY.Version: 1.8.5
✓ Siri, thanks for nothing!I can’t believe this is the direction Apple developers want to take Siri in. ALL the information asked is available via the web free of charge. To ask people to pay for an app for the same information is an insult and just greedy. Please abandon this idea of pimping out Siri to sell apps. NOT what I paid $1,400 for with my X. I want answers and complete answers, quickly, and INCLUDED. So again, thanks for nothing, Siri (Apple)..Version: 1.8
✓ DecentAgree these guys are bots, I really wanted to know when the next eclipse will happen and it told be super quickly. Not the best but not as bad as the other comments. No adds. Easy to access. Free..Version: 2.0.6
✓ What a waste of timeFree version is useless so I can’t test any of the functionality I was after - I know there are free apps that will have the functionality so I’m going to find and download them instead of paying to upgrade this app.Version: 2.0.6
✓ New update brings a worrying trendI have used WolframAlpha for years and loved the app version since it was able to give me step-by-step solutions to difficult mathematics and physics problems. It is a very powerful tool and calculator. However, with a new UI comes a very worrying subscription model that Wolfram is pushing that costs significantly more than the app just to “unlock” the same features you used to have just for buying the app. It’s a disappointing trend but the new UI looks really good. Just a shame it brought an expensive subscription surprise with it.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Is it possible to sue you? 2016 I bought this as a stand alone appI have email proof as well. Now you want to charge me as a subscription..Version: 2.2.2
✓ ScamThis app use to work, now it’s a glorified googled. Do not waste your money or time buying this junk app. It’s not what it use it be..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Useless appThey've reduced the features to the point where it's a useless app. So bad that it doesn't even demonstrate that the full version would be any good. Don't waste your time..Version: 1.0.0.4342748
✓ No good on viewerSeems it is good on full version but I don't want to pay.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Doesn’t workGot this to expand on a Siri answer. App couldn’t load the info. Useless..Version: 1.8
✓ CrashesNew update crashes on my IPad when I try to open it..Version: 2.1.2
✓ GoodIt's very good but it takes forever to download !!!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Waste of time!WA products are only good when they are free. Once you pay for the Premium version you notice there’s nothing there to justify your spending. They make you believe that if you pay you can use pro features but then they “switch” and ask you for even more money..Version: 1.8.2
✓ Just a tasterThis is just an outpost for you to get a taste of the app. It is just an ad in a app. It shows you premade stuff then can be accessed with Siri. It has the same UI as the full version, but you can ask the same query to Siri, and get more freedom of customization. This does not even enhance the experience for Siri just an ad in an app. I'm only giving it 2 stars because of Wolframs hard work. I mean it's trying, but you can just give an actual free version like in the internet version, not just a unusable ad of an app..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Don’t know how to calculate somethingI thought this would also be like a calculator like on the Web but I can’t find the option to solve an equation, it just has preset equations to show you the method. If anyone knows a good, professional calculator app I need to know.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Only after paying $60 do you see that it doesn’t workIf you take a picture of the problem it does recognize your writing quite well but the translation of the problem to an actual command is not working at all! And after typing it in manually it still doesn’t know what to do with the problem, for example Lagrangian sqrt(x(t)*(1+(x(t)')^2))/t it asks “did you mean sqrt” For $60 I DO expect a whole lot more!.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Another Siri strikeout- don't waste your time...I read the previous reviews and so my expectations were properly set.- this app would provide information only after I queried with Siri, scrolled to the bottom, and touched the Wolfram Alpha logo. The app crashed as it attempted to open. I deleted and re-downloaded- same result. I deleted, restarted my iPad, and re-downloaded- same result. I guess my Ph.D. just isn't enough education to get this POS to work....Version: 1.0.0.4342748
✓ DON'T DOWNLOAD!!This is a quick review: Pay $2.99+Tax with the basic point of Wolfram Alpha, or just open Safari, Google Chrome, and save money. It would be handy with the whole Siri integration, but not unless you pay the $2.99, has a variety of options, but you cannot edit them into what you want. Bottom Line: Cheap, poorly programmed, waste of time, and a rage enhancer..Version: 1.0.0.4342748
