There’s a new add-on for the Wolfram|Alpha app for iOS that allows you take an image as input and “process” it with the popular app/service. Available as in-app purchase of $0.99, it can either work with photos from your Camera Roll or pictures taken on the fly and input them directly into Wolfram|Alpha. The application on its end can then provide analysis of your photo, allow you to add filters, detect features, perform color processing, and apply image effects. Pretty cool stuff, right? But that’s not all, existing features like weather and consumer product queries also received an update. For instance, a query for the weather will provide a more graphical output, and a query for a consumer product will come with links to purchase the items directly from Best Buy… I love Wolfram|Alpha and can’t wait for the day to get it on my Android smartphone. That said I’m not

Wolfram Alpha app (US$2.99) fans should be rejoicing today. Version 1.4 of the incredibly powerful analytics app is available and adds a number of new features, including image analysis and manipulation. Among the new goodies in Wolfram Alpha 1.4 are a new look for weather queries and the ability to search for and purchase items from Best Buy. Yep, that last feature is correct. You can now query Wolfram for things like "17 inch LCD monitor" or "LG Washing Machine" and get more information than you really ever wanted -- plus the ability to buy those items from the app. Image processing capability, however, is the star of the show. The Image Input feature is a $0.99 in-app purchase that lets you add filters, view EXIF and histogram info about your photos, and even shows thumbnails of your images with contrast and colors adjusted. The app also creates thumbnails of various

schraubt (kostenpflichtige) Pro-Funktionen in seine Wissensmaschine. Der ‘Image Input‘ ist das erste Feature, das davon in die iPhone-App (2.39 €; universal; App Store-Link) diffundiert. Für die einmalige In-App-Aufwendung von 79 Cent analysiert der Algorithmus ihm aufgetischte Bilder, die sich über erweiterte Befehle (Gesichtserkennung, Farb-Bearbeitung, etc.) manipulieren lassen. Selbst rudimentäre Texterkennung aus abfotografierten (englischsprachigen) Artikeln sind in die experimentelle Phase aufgenommen. Erst im Februar schrieb die New York Times, das 25-Prozent aller Wolfram|Alpha-(Such-)Anfragen über Siri erfolgen. Die aktuell beeindruckendste Werbung für den Dienst stammt allerdings von Stephen Wolfram selbst: Im Blogartikel “” beschreibt er die Untersuchung seines eigenen Lebens anhand von tausenden Datensätzen, die er dem Computer-Code vorlegte.

Siri accounts for about a quarter of the queries fielded by Wolfram Alpha, whose staff has grown to 200. 25-Prozent aller Wolfram|Alpha-Suchanfragen stammen von Siri. Für einen drei Jahre alten Dienst, der seit ‘lediglich’ vier Monaten mit Sprachbrocken vom neuen (!) iPhone beworfen wird, ist das beachtlich. Bereits im Dezember, zirka zwei Monate nach dem ursprünglichen 4S-Release, vermerkte die semantische Suchmaschine eine Verzwanzigfachung seiner Zugriffe. Mit englischen Spracheinstellungen (-> Allgemein -> Siri) beantwortet der Fakten-Checker an ihn gerichteten Fragen weltweit. So lassen sich beispielsweise die verbleibenden Tage bis Weihnachten errechnen, Text in Morsecode übersetzen oder ein generisches Passwort erzeugen. Der Webdienst experimentiert in seiner kurzen Geschichte bereits fleißig mit unterschiedlichen Preismodellen. Die erste Version der iPhone-App (2.39 €; universal; App Store-Link) landete für ursprünglich 40 Euro im App Store. Aktuell kündigt sich eine monatlich zu bezahlende Pro-Version an. Die (finanziellen) Aspekte der Zusammenarbeit mit Apple und der direkten Siri-Integration, bequem an

WolframAlpha is the ultimate information app for your Android tablet. This app is basically an encyclopedia, dictionary, thesaurus, calculator, and a dozen other things all rolled into one. Search for any subject and see everything from synonyms to crossword puzzle clues, words that rhyme, or even word frequency throughout history. There are plenty of apps that offer similar services for free, but none that are so comprehensive and put all those services in one easy to use place. I would probably have killed to have this app throughout school; it’s pretty much the ultimate education aide. The large screen of a tablet makes the keyboards easy to use, and it makes good use of the space. This is just an excellent app all around. The WolframAlpha app is a marvelous resource for Android tablet owners.

Games are popular on the App Store right now (check out the lists of top paid and free aps), but several readers have asked us to extend beyond games with the Daily iPhone App series. So, here you go. Wolfram Alpha for iPhone is a mobile version of the very useful "computational knowledge engine" service. Just like the online version, Wolfram Alpha for iPhone provides answers to your questions about math, almanac-style timetables, or just about anything else you need to know. Answers are provided in the form of text, images, tables, charts, graphs, grids, and so on. The app does require an Internet connection, unfortunately, but it's recently been tuned up and streamlined, so it should be faster than ever. The app has also gotten support of Facebook sharing, so if you find something interesting, you can make sure your friends see it as well. WolframAlpha can be super helpful

All of us are used to searching Google or another search engine for answers to our questions or to find new and interesting things. We’ve become so good t it that it usually only take a few seconds to find exactly what we need. But let’s say you have a complex math question and want to compare statistical data of two different countries. You’ll need to find a website that has done the research or dig through hundreds of random results. This is where Wolfram Alpha comes in. The site is labelled as a computational knowledge engine. Unlike Google, searching on this site will only yield facts. This means you can use it to find proven data and trust that what you are reading is true. The app chews through your search phrase and breaks it down into a logical problem. It then gives you very detailed results with graphs, charts,

Posted 10/04/2010 at 12:36pm | by Andrew Hayward Each new iPhone has offered fresh and fantastical ways to improve your daily life, but the epic tag-team of the iPhone 4 and iOS 4 deliver the greatest set of tools and features to date. With the introduction of FaceTime video calls, multitasking, and the high resolution Retina display, the iPhone 4 has moved even further away from being just a powerful phone and web-surfing device. Now more than ever, the iPhone is a true lifestyle-enhancing accessory. Between the built-in features and the hundreds of thousands of options in the App Store, not to mention a few key accessories, the iPhone 4 can be figuratively formed and changed to fit your daily needs, whether you’re planning your daily commute, knocking out items on your to-do list, or simply looking to try a new restaurant. With this wide-ranging versatility in mind, we’ve come up

If you’re constantly late for class and hanging on to your hopes of a diploma by a single letter, then these apps will help you get your grades up without sacrificing your much needed beauty sleep. Wolfram Alpha is the only reason I passed Algebra my Freshman year. The app used to be $50, but they have since come to their senses and reduced it to just $1.99. If you haven’t tried out the website yet, you should. It can do conversions, tell you the volume of a dodecahedron, and give you the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Wolfram can basically solve any math problem and even shows you the individual steps. The free website is compatible with the iPhone, but the application makes

And the iOS4 app updates just keep on coming. We’re finding more and more by the day. Whether it’s adding support for the iPhone 4′s awesome retina display or taking advantage of new APIs within iOS4, we’re still watching for them. Here’s the ones we found this time around, and as always, if you see any we missed, be sure to let us know in the comments! Readdle is an incredibly easy to use app that allows you to not only view all kinds of files right on your iPhone, but also allows you to manage and save attachments. It’s one of the better apps we’ve found to handle documents, not to mention reasonably priced. Not only did Readdle’s newest update add multitasking support, it also adds support for USB file transfer through iTunes. Better yet, you can now save attachments via the Mail app. [iTunes Link] WeeMee is an incredibly

Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Alex Ahlund, the former CEO and founder of AppVee and AndroidApps, which were acquired by mobile application directory Appolicious. About this time last year, he gave us his picks of the best iPhone apps of 2009 up until then, so we thought we’d make it an annual tradition. I’ve been involved in the iPhone app industry since it first began in 2008 and I have to say that it has come a long way. I’ve seen it grow from a meager launch of 500 applications in the App Store to currently over 225,000. In only two years, the industry has matured at hyperspeed. It spawned an entire ecosystem to support it from a multitude of news and editorial resources to developer engines, promotional services and ancillary niches. With over five billion app downloads and a billion dollars at stake, it’s no surprise that

By Leanna Lofte, Saturday, Jun 19, 2010 | WolframAlpha is a computational knowledge engine on the web, and with their iPad application, you can perform calculations and look up information even easier. WolframAlpha is a universal application, so you pay once but receive the optimum experience on both your iPhone and iPad. Using WolframAlpha is simple. Just type what you’re interested in and WolframAlpha will provide you information about it. For mathematical expressions, the keyboard has an additional 3 rows of numbers and symbols. Tapping “more” on the keyboard will expand the keyboarding adding 4 more rows of symbols. When solving advanced problems like integrals and derivatives, WolframAlpha not only provides the answers, but displays the steps taken to find it. The steps are very clearly written with sentences describing the procedure. This is my favorite feature of WolframAlpha because it is an excellent learning tool and because it is a

Posted 04/29/2010 at 1:56pm | by Ray Aguilera With 185,000 apps and counting, the App Store is a vast warehouse of digital goodies for your iPhone (and now iPad too). But like most mega-marts, the sheer size of it all makes the good stuff harder to find. We’ve scoured the Store, and found the best apps to help you use your iPhone to it’s fullest potential. Whether it’s games you seek, or productivity tools, we’ve got you covered. As it turns out, there really is an app for that, no matter what that is. The iPhone and iPod touch brought back fun to videogaming, with developers focussing on innovation, affordability, and novelty. Touchscreen and accelerometer controls also force designers to think different, resulting in games that are a glorious collision of classic and cutting-edge gameplay and technology. --Craig Grannell Steph Thirion · $2.99 Eliss is the perfect game for the iPhone’s

When it comes to math problems, Wolfram Alpha is smarter than the average search engine. Now it's affordable, too. One of the App Store's most notoriously expensive apps just got a price cut. Wolfram Alpha, which debuted last October for the fairly jaw-dropping price of $49.99, now sells for just $1.99 [iTunes link]. In case the name doesn't ring a bell, Wolfram Alpha made headlines last year as a supposed Google killer, a search engine that could perform "computational knowledge" tricks far beyond any other service. In other words, as CNET's Rafe Needleman put it, "Google finds links. Wolfram Alpha finds answers." My own take: It's a search engine for math geeks. In any case, there was widespread glee when Wolfram Alpha got the app treatment--followed by considerable head-scratching and some outright rage over its price. The $50 sticker seemed particularly insulting considering that you could enjoy much of the same

WolframAlpha has finally realized that a $50 premium iPhone app is not going to work. The nice part here is that they have lowered the price, all the way down to $1.99. Sounds nice, and just in case you purchased the app when it was selling for $49.99 or $19.99, you can fill out a form (found here) where you can request your money back. What, a price slashing and taking care of those that made an initial purchase. Its nice to see someone taking care of the early adopters. The interesting part here is that the App Store does not officially do refunds, so this is coming out of their pockets. That means they are going to refund you the full amount, and have to cover the 30% that Apple took for the initial sale. But in short, if you wanted the WolframAlpha app and could not justify the higher

Oggi vi segnaliamo che il suo prezzo è passato dai 39,99€ a soli 1,59€ ma non finisce qui! Gli sviluppatori si sono accorti di aver commesso un grosso errore a tenere un prezzo così alto e quindi hanno deciso di rimborsare tutte le persone che hanno acquistato il software a prezzo pieno!

Wenn am Monatsende in der Cupertino-Buchhaltung die Akamai-Rechnung für heruntergeladene App Store-Inhalte eintrudelt, dürften nach den neusten Zahlen von insgesamt drei Milliarden Downloads, Überstundenzettel unter den Mitarbeiter sehr gefragt sein. Die Programmaktualisierungen (sprich Updates) spiegeln sich zwar nicht in der werbetauglichen Pressemitteilung wieder, müssen jedoch ebenfalls an das Content Distribution Network gezahlt werden. Dabei lässt sich die Höhe der anfallenden Gebühren schwer abschätzen. Eine Suchmaschinen-Anwendung wie WolframAlpha (App Store-Link) bietet mit 0.6 MB und einem Verkaufspreis von 39.99 € eine sehr gute Gewinnmarge für Apple. Mit dem 30-prozentigen Anteil lassen sich Kreditkarten-Institute, Datenlieferanten und App Store-Mitarbeiter locker bezahlen. Mit einem Spiel wie ‘Monkey Island’, das für 5.99 € schwere 355 Megabyte auf die Waage bringt (App Store-Link), wird die Rechnung schon mühsamer. Kostenlose Anwendungen, wie das beispielsweise heute im deutschen App Store veröffentlichte Amazon-Verkaufsprogramm (App Store-Link), kosten Apple richtig Geld.

Wolfram Alpha is a lot of things. It’s a great way to search for obscure information with free-form search queries. It’s a great way to cheat on your Algebra homework. It’s a great way to impress your friends. On thing it’s not, though, is cheap. The iPhone app has been available on the AppStore with a hefty $50 price tag, a price point most iPhone developers would never dare consider. But, in the spirit of the holidays (and to boost app sales, of course) Wolfram Alpha has reduced the price of its iPhone app to a more palatable $19.99 on the AppStore. Wolfram Alpha is an iPhone app (and a website) that uses tens of thousands of algorithms, developed over 20+ years, to delivers amazingly relevant and info-packed answers to free-form search queries.

There really aren’t too many expensive iPhone apps available on the AppStore. All the apps on my iPhone, for example, range from free to $9.99 – most of them hovering around the $0.99 and $1.99 price points. Wolfram Alpha, on the other hand, offers iPhone users a free-form question answering service for the princely sum of $50. For most people, that price was hardly worth having an iPhone app that duplicates the functionality of the Wolfram Alpha website’s iPhone optimized interface. The key word here is “was,” because Wolfram Alpha has just pulled the plug on their iPhone optimized website. Wolfram visitors on iPhones are now being shown the regular version of the Wolfram Alpha website, with a pop-up ad that suggests downloading the $50 iPhone app. It makes sense, really. Rather than argue that $50 is a good price for their iPhone app, Wolfram Alpha rolled out an iPhone-optimized website

A couple months ago, Wolfram Alpha launched an impressive iPhone application based on their “computational knowledge engine” (a fancy word for search engine predicated on math) of the same name. Unfortunately, they horribly miscalcuted what it should cost when they set the price at $50. But rather than simply lowering the price, they’re trying another trick. As we pointed out at the time, one of the most humorous things about the app’s pricing is that the mobile version of Wolfram Alpha was completely free. Free beats $50 any day of the week, and I think WolframAlpha finally realized that as they have decided to destroy the mobile web version that was tailored for the iPhone and iPod touch, which TUAW noticed today. Now, when you point your iPhone’s browser to wolframalpha.com, you’ll be greeted by a pop-up letting you know that the WolframAlpha app is now available in the app store,

Wolfram|Alpha has discontinued their iPhone-friendly formatted webpage. Another page, http://www.wolframalpha.com/addtoyouriphone.html, shows iPhone users how to add the website to their iPhone (hint: just like any other page). Visiting the website in Mobile Safari brings up the image shown here, also suggesting that you buy the iPhone app. The app gained wide attention when it was first announced due to its price tag, which critics said was far too high. Others rebuffed the criticism by saying that if you didn't want to use the app you could use the iPhone-friendly webpage. Perhaps too many people did just that. Thanks to TUAW reader Anil Doshi for the tip. Since there seems to be some confusion: yes, the regular website can be used once you dismiss the pop-up ad by tapping the "X" shown on the top-right corner of the ad. That seemed obvious to me, but obviously I should not make such assumptions.

WolframAlpha, the well-chronicled online computational engine that can dig up all kinds of knowledge and was originally launched in May of this year, now has an iPhone app available in the App Store. The App Store description states that it “plugs directly into Wolfram Alpha’s supercomputing cloud to deliver the unrivaled power of the Wolfram|Alpha knowledge engine to the mobile environment.” It does need to be online to work, but conveniently it includes a special keyboard to make the entry of characters for mathematical and other functions very easy, welcomed by many who would use it, more than likely. Sources are saying that the app makes all output show well on the iPhone and that searches can be bookmarked and published via Twitter if you wish, making it flexible for a variety of uses. The site itself is free to access, but the app will run you $49.99 (probably aimed at

Wolfram Alpha, the computational knowledge search engine, launched its iPhone application today. It's a nice looking app that does a lot more than simply embed the search engine in an iPhone app (it's an impressive graphing calculator and stock analysis tool, as weblog Mashable points out), but the $50 price tag limits the audience to either people with a really big iTunes gift card to burn or a serious jones for a souped up graphing calculator on their iPhone.

Wolfram|Alpha, die semantische Online-Wissensbank, streckte erstmals im Mai 2009 ihre Fühler ins Internet. Seitdem (ver)suchen die Algorithmen zur Beantwortungen kompletter Fragestellungen die entsprechenden Ergebnisse zusammenzutragen. Am gestrigen Sonntag erschien die dazugehörige iPhone-Anwendung im App Store, die ohne eigenen Datenbestand mehr oder weniger eine hübsche Schnittstelle zur Webanwendung darstellt. Die Besonderheit liegt diesmal im Verkaufspreis: Der Kunde zahlt 40 € für einen halben Megabyte an Programmcode. Soweit so aufregend. Die Strategie, sich über diesen Gesprächsaufhänger in die Medien zu spielen, bleibt nämlich verdammt gut. Und funktioniert sogar hier. Entgegen anderweitiger Annahmen, die den hohen Preisabstand zur Konkurrenz als (bereits bekannte) Protestaktion gegen fallende App Store-Preise werten, tippe ich auf reines Marketing. Ich zähle mich persönlich zu den Motto-Gläubigern: ‘Es-gibt-keine-schlechte-Presse’, die besonders im App Store mit über 90.000 Programmen zum Tragen kommt. Egal ob der Programm-Verkaufspreis kurz- oder langfristig auf einen ‘massentauglichen’ Wert fällt, die 15 Minuten Ruhm in den größten Online-Medien seien

When Wolfram Alpha, the (don't call it a search engine!) computation knowledge engine, announced an iPhone app, I assumed it would just be a nice front end for the website. I also figured it would be free. Surprise! The Wolfram Alpha app does a lot more than expected, and it also carries a hefty $50 price tag. This might not be the smartest business decision for Wolfram, considering that App Store reviewers are notorious for complaining that even $10 is too much to pay for any iPhone app. On the other hand, the app does the kind of high-level math that would make Texas Instruments weep. If you're a student or someone in a math-intensive technical field, it might rock your world. Integrals, derivatives, differential equations, and all of the other stuff I've forgotten from years of math classes? Look no further than Wolfram Alpha. It's more than just a graph

Produttore: Wolframe Alpha | Download Via: AppStore | Prezzo: 39,99€ Dopo una recente ottimizzazione per iPhone, il motore di ricerca WolframAlpha è ora disponibile in AppStore sottoforma di applicazione nativa, ad un prezzo decisamente poco accessibile. Per chi non lo conoscesse, si tratta di un motore computazionale di conoscenza che interpreta le parole chiave inserite dall’utente e propone direttamente una risposta (anzicchè una lista di collegamenti ad altri siti web). L’autore di questo strumento, è lo scienziato e matematico britannico Stephen Wolfram, conosciuto per aver sviluppato il software Mathematica. Tra gli esempi di utilizzo, la matematica è principio di base ma vediamoli tutti in ordine: Il software è in grado di riconoscere praticamente qualunque espressione o equazione matematica e di risolverla in base alle conoscenze attuali. Per esempio, inserendo un’equazione il software disegna il grafico della curva relativa e fornisce le relative soluzioni, in forma numerica o simbolica a seconda dei

The iPhone app for Wolfram Alpha (iTunes store link) got approved by Apple surprisingly quickly, I was told in a breathless e-mail from Wolfram PR on Sunday. But the real surprise was the price: The app is $49.99. The rationale is twisted. "It's less than half the price of a graphing calculator, but it does more," the rep told me. By the way, "price of a graphing calculator" is a calculation that Wolfram Alpha can't compute. For much, much less than the price of a graphing calculator, or $0.00, you can point your iPhone's Safari browser at Wolframalpha.com and have full access to the service for free. Divide by that, Wolfie. Also, the $49.99 price doesn't get you an actual standalone graphing calculator, since the app doesn't work when it doesn't have a Web connection. The Wolfram Alpha iPhone app makes it easier to enter calculation queries. Now, to be fair,

Quite a bit ahead of schedule, Wolfram Alpha's iPhone app appeared in the iTunes App Store today. The app, which costs $49.99, gives users full access to Wolfram Alpha's capabilities and greatly improves on the speed and ergonomics of Wolfram Alpha's mobile site. The company is targeting this app at students and professionals and marketing it as a replacement for stand-alone graphing calculators, which is clearly reflected in the price. One of the most interesting feature of the app, besides the ability to quickly access all of the power that Wolfram Alpha now offers, is the fact that the company has found a way to make inputing queries very easy. Instead of a single keyboard at the bottom of the screen, the app actually displays two keyboards - one for numbers and symbols, and a regular QWERTY keyboard at the bottom of the screen. Given the nature of a typical query

Apple wasted little time approving Wolfram Alpha’s new iPhone app, which we hinted at last week. Just a few days after they submitted it to the store, Apple sailed it right through the approval process with such speed that it even surprised the Wolfram Alpha team, which had hoped to get some feedback from testers before the approval. I was one of those people, so rather than send them feedback, I’ll write it here. There are two key points about Wolfram Alpha’s iPhone app: 1) It is pretty cool, and very nicely done. 2) They’re insane for trying to sell it for $50. I’m going to mainly focus on second point here, because if you’ve used Wolfram Alpha, you don’t really need much explanation about this app, which is a slick interface for the service. And while I get Wolfram Alpha’s logic behind selling the app for $50, I think it’s

Wolfram|Alpha is in my opinion the biggest thing in online search since Google, if you don’t know it yet I would strongly recommend you to give it a shot. It’s a computational knowledge engine which lets you basically solve equations, ask about historic events, movies, names, compare two stocks (AAPL versus MSFT is my favorite), convert currencies or measures and so on and so on. Well, following an announcement last week on a new api, Wolfram just released an iPhone version of its fantastic search engine. It’s relatively highly priced (50$) but the power of this application might very well be worth it. It could actually be the “one app to rule them all” and basically replace more than a third of the applications I own. [App Store link]

On Thursday WolframAlpha launched its developer API, which should allow large and small developers (as well as businesses and educational institutions) to harness the power of the computational knowledge engine to enhance their own applications or products. Today, the WolframAlpha iPhone app (iTunes link) — which was built using the new API — was released to the App Store. The application is pretty advanced, as its $49.99 price-tag suggests. Before your jaw drops over the price, keep in mind that this is much more than just a mobile version of the website. It’s a high end graphing calculator (that supports discrete number theory, Calculus derivative and plotting of functions), an almanac, a currency/unit converter and a pretty sophisticated stock analysis tool. And that’s just the beginning. The buzz over Wolfram Alpha has always centered around its potential. After all, combining statistical, factual and scientific information with human-language requests is an impressive

Wow, what a waste of money. I paid $20 for an application that is just a front-end to the WolframAlpha web site. I am a sucker. Here's what I should have done: open Safari on the iPhone/iPod Touch, go to wolframalpha.com. Done. Enter an equation, same results. I paid $20 for an application that shrinks the WolframAlpha web site down to fit the iPhone/iPod Touch screen. How are they, in good conscience, charging $20 for this application? Moreover, how did Apple approve this?

The wolfram alpha app is pretty, works efficiently, and seems to be able to everything the website can do. And there's the problem; we really shouldn't be charged $49.99 for something we can get for free, albeit slower (slower when were using a smartphone, that is) Wolfram should be able to make a profit off of this extremely helpful and smart technology, but they shouldn't try and get it all from just a few people. I bought it when it was on sale for $20, because that's way closer to a good price point, it may even be worth the $20, the point is that it is right on the border of expensive and too expensive. Anyone looking to buy this app should buy it when it's on sale.

WolframAlpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. This is quite a lofty and admirable goal. Now I can explore the ever expanding universe of WolframAlpha from my iPhone without worrying about the results fitting correctly on my mobile screen. My purchase won't make a dent in the money being spent to pull all of this knowledge together, but surely it couldn't hurt. Love the app and all the awesome stuff behind it!

Although I agree with many comments on WA I bought the app as a token of support. It is a very aggressive project and vision. As the data is acculated the AI approach to retrival will mature. Although there is acces to much of the WA data there is presently no public access to the mass of data from one source. I have spent some time learning the WA style of NQL.

This is a great way to access the Wolfram data and computations.

After effectively quoting Comic Book Guy, I can't help but stress how valuable this app is. Since downloading it a couple weeks ago, it has quickly become the most used app on my iPhone.
The value proves itself whenever any type of data is needed. Google has always been my go-to reference book, but having to sift through the misleading results and non-relevant data is time consuming. Wolfram manage to provide accurate, reliable, and relevant data for almost every topic conceivable.

I was in Mexico over the holidays with my sister last month. We drove out to a remote beach and laid our towels down near the water. We had no idea if the tide was coming in or going out, but fortunately I had my newly purchased Wolfram Alpha app on my iPhone. I loaded the app and searched "next high tide puerto vallarta"... a few seconds later we discovered the next high tide wasn't for another 8 hours. Armed with the information we decided to keep our towels close to the water instead of moving further up the beach.

I, like many others, was hesitant to buy this even though I use the web-based application frequently. However, once I made the decision to go for it I am happy I did. I have been using this app all weekend for various answers to both the practical as well as the incredible. As an engineer, I will use this app constantly in my day to day work. It is actually easier to use the W|A app for certain calculations rather than reaching for my trusty HP49G. Aside from the pure calculation strength of this app, there are huge amounts of information and data it provides as well. For those of you thinking, "Why not just use the web site via the iPhone browser for free?" Yes it's possible, and I did that for awhile, but the application gives you a much better (and faster) user interface experience. It really is a well-designed tool.

Copy and paste. What I am able to copy from a sub section should be recognized as a valid search expression. For example, when I am working with genes and I copy from the protein sub section I should be able to get info on the protein. There is no way to select portions of text.
I should be able ( in the paid version app) to get property lists and, for example, a list of countries or other entities as I can in MAthematica.
I should be able to put pure Mathematica expressions into the search box and get appropriate results.
I should be able to save results, as I can in the better wikipedia apps.
These improvements, all fairly easy I think, would differentiate the app from the website and make it worth more than $50.
I am a Mathematica fan and really look forward to the differentiators.

I own a few apps priced higher then this, so my complaint isn't that an apps cost this much - it is that this specific app cost far too much for what you get. I assumed that you would get more functionality then the FREE website - dead wrong. For the price tag you get a moderately better keyboard. Since the app advertizes that it uses mathematica in its algoritms, I was hoping that I would be able to enter mathamatica commands - dead wrong again. Don't get me wrong I love mathematica, but this app shouldn't even be considered a distant relative if your looking for mathematica type functionality.

Why? Because the entire wolfram website is available free online via safari therefore the mobile app is obsolete.

You will find precious little physics applications and or equations, theorems etc. Decent math apps but again they are all available free online so what's the point of paying 50 dollars, I regret blowing fifty dollars on this, I should have done my diligence. It's about 49 dollars more than it shoul be. Icoild have purchased a knovel account for the money

This is an amazing implementation of the wolfram alpha API, and is better in every way than the mobile web version.
