Wolfram Words Reference App App Reviews

Unnecessary and Incomplete

Everything here can be done through the full WolframAlpha app or the WolframAlpha web site. If youve already paid for the full app, no need to shell out the additional buck for this. If you do buy it, prepare for disappointment. The words WA knows is a severely limited set. I attempted to use the Anagrams function to find anagrams of my name. It found none. The Internet Anagram Server finds almost 1400, and I could do a dozen just off the top of my head. If you happen to hit the words WA knows, the information is interesting and in-depth. I recommend the full app. though. Youll get much better value for that price.

Keyboard obscures screen when I type

With the Wolfram name I expected a great deal. I am disappointed. When I type in a word that needs definition, the keyboard obscures the text entry field. I cant see the words I am typing in.

Was looking forward to purchasing this app.

But can away totally disappointed. given how great the WolframAlpha app is, I decided to flip a buck for this - and I wish I had that 99 cents back. The UI is hideous, and hasn’t been updated in years. The look, feel and response all seem from am iOS two, three versions ago. It does what it purports to do fairly well, but from an outfit such as Wolfram, I just expected more. So two stars for its creation, existence and filling a niche, but three stars off for horrible implementation and UI.

Overpriced and not useful.

The free, general app has the same information, or you could get a free dictionary app that will let you link from the results, instead of requiring a new search every time.
