Latest reviews of Wolfram Personal Finance Assistant App app for iPhone and iPad
So far, none of the calculations have worked. I keep getting errors and suggesting to restore to default value. Also most of the app only has US cities and states and does not include Canadian data. Waste of money.
It would be a pretty cool free app. I believe that my expectation of paying to receive an app that works in return was not unreasonable. But with all its failed attempts to communicate with the Wolfram Alpha servers and all the crashes, this app failed at delivering even on a very fundamental way, in a way that would make someone get out of his way to write a review. One word? Disappointing.
Some of the available data such as current interest rates or credit card rates and house prices etc is ONLY for USA. you do mention in the US BUT you do not explicitly mention that the same is not available for other countries...You should make that clear in you information about what this app is. This is deceptive! Not worth 5$ . Very dissapointing to see this from Woolfram , lost my respect. R.
I paid $5 for this app and the first thing that I try doesnt work. I entered 152 and 15 into the tip calculator and it thought I was talking about 152 people and assumed the bill was 50. If youre going to charge $5 for an app at least have it assume the bill is in dollars and have some sort if menu to choose which. When this is fixed, Ill give 5 stars.
Overall very good app. "College costs" only provided tuition information for the college I researched. This could become a great app if they continue to build it out.
