Verdict

Solve answers to technical questions with this powerful search engine

Review Rating: rating

Type: Shareware

Platform: Android

Manufacturer: Wolfram Alpha, LLC

Price: £1.22

Wolfram Alpha is a search engine, but with a difference. More a knowledge machine, it lets users ask it a question, rather than a query, and gives the most accurate answer possible. For example, you could ask it for the population of a country, or the number of calories in a glass of milk, or wine. It works best when you ask simply formed questions that are objective, rather than subjective.

Far more suited to business or professional users than random searchers Wolfram Alpha responds well to queries and is a great source for publicly available information. It can even help you solve crosswords
