Wolfram Alpha iPhone app launches

"Fully optimized mobile computational knowledge" for $49

19 October 2009 9:14 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Following the new we brought you that Wolfram Alpha had announced the release of its Webservice API, the computational knowledge engine's own-brand iPhone app has now been launched.

Pricey, as far as apps go, the software will cost customers $49 to download from the App Store, but looks to offer some fairly advanced funtionality.

"Drawing on 20+ years of development, 50,000+ built-in algorithms, and 10+ trillion pieces of continually updated and curated data, the Wolfram Alpha app is the ultimate replacement for almost any kind of calculator or reference book - and much more", says Wolfram Alpha.

The Wolfram Alpha team promises "expert-level answers to your specific freeform questions - complete with stunning, dynamically generated visualizations and tables, and richer and deeper information than you imagined possible".

Presumably those that don't want to pay can continue to use the iPhone-optimised version of the site for free.

  • this is more practical for every other phone except the iphone. the iphone has the best browser in the phone world and we can just visit wolfa.com to use wolframalpha's site quickly and hassle free. even the gphone would be a better phone for this app because the browser is not as friendly. bad move wolfram, bad move.

  • wolfa.com is not wolframalpha.com. Rather, it is an illegal mirror site. Posted by Kathryn Cramer, United States
