Latest reviews of Wolfram Travel Assistant App app for iPhone and iPad
worst app ive ever bought on iTunes. useless. it doesnt take the world into consideration, as it should be fair to think and hope. it is a mere and very, very poor adaptation of wolfram alpha, in green. 4.99 dollars in the bin. ill try to get my money back. so dont throw you money away.
The concept has potential. UI is decent. Still has a lot of room to grow to become a "must have". Information is available mostly for major destinations but in the real world of travel its the out of the way places travelers need the most help. As it is right now the app is too expensive.
I just Purchased this ap & Im a bit disappointed. I thought it would be more capable. For example: I tried to calculate ground distance between two small cities. First I used zip codes - No Comprende. Then I tried entering city and state - NG. But, rather than nitpick, Ill give it time to mature. My recommendation- One star. Wait till it grows up.
This app talks about different countries and doesnt even have Rio de Janeiros GIG airport code... Do not buy if you are interested in Brazilian routes... Wait for an update or buy something else.
Will not function off opening page Takes a while to load as it pulls from their server. Once ready however seems to work fine. Now looking forward to experiencing the app!
