Description

The Wolfram Words Reference App is more than just a dictionary! From synonyms and acronyms to information about words through history and tools for solving word puzzles, it includes easy access to everything you've ever wanted to know about English words. - Find the common definition of a word as well as its pronunciation, first known use, origin, inflected forms, and general usage - Find synonyms, acronyms, rhymes, and homophones - Calculate popular word game scores and find possible words using your letters - Compute word patterns given only a few letters or compute words that begin or end with certain letters - Get historical crossword puzzle clues or enter specific letters to find word possibilities - Perform document length and time conversions given a number of words, pages, or characters - Convert a sentence into Morse code or Braille and look up Soundex codes - Generate a QR code or barcode from a word or phrase - Find notable uses of a word in a city, book, movie, and other names or explore a word's frequency throughout history Our database is a work in progress, so check back to see if information about the word you entered is added. The Wolfram Words Reference App is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the world's leading software system for mathematical research and education. The Wolfram Words Reference App draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputers over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.

  • Very disappointed.

    Stick with Wolfram Alpha - this app excels at nothing other than chipping away at your net worth and increasing your icon count by one.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 can't see the words I am typing in.

  • Does not do synonyms

    Asked for synonyms for "generous" - no synonyms produced.

  • Unnecessary and Incomplete

    Everything here can be done through the full WolframAlpha app or the WolframAlpha web site. If you've 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. You'll get much better value for that price.

    It's a useful app but it constantly crashes or freezes so I uninstalled it.

  • missing too many words

    By boorman56
    I play scrabble and attempted to use this app. Too many times words found in scrabble dictionaries were "unknown" on this app. No good.

  • Disappointing limited Lexicon

    By Bink_In_AK
    I bought this on Wolframs reputation and I am very disappointed in the limited lexicon. Most times Wolfram cannot find a word I am searching. I am going to remove this app because Webster's has a better success at finding definitions than Wolfram. I really expected more from Wolfram. I question whether the Wolfram of Mathmatica fame even still exists.
