The Wolfram Culinary Mathematics Reference App is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the worlds leading software system for mathematical research and education.
The Wolfram Culinary Mathematics Reference App draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alphas supercomputers over 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.
Latest reviews of Wolfram Culinary Mathematics Reference App app for iPhone and iPad
No family sharing? A message comes up that says something to the effect of, "cant download because this was purchased by another user or the subscription was cancelled". Then nothing! Cant even purchase it for the lousy CAD$ 2.29 if I wanted to. Went to the developer website to leave feedback, but its Apple iPad unfriendly and wont let me type text. I decided to come here instead and vent! The sad thing is they probably pay some clown a lot of money to figure this stuff out. Good job Wolfram!
This is the best.
As a Chef and Culinary Arts Instructor this is an app I can stand behind. I use this several times per week as a teaching tool for my culinary students. Part of being a chef and an instructor is demanding the best out of your tools, and smart planning. This app helps me to do both. Planning out seasonal menus and lessons have become much easier. My students and my Culinary Institute are happy we found this app. Thanks. Chef Brent
I just wasted money on food software that gave me an "oops" result when I tried to compute the nutrition of 1 cup strawberries and 0.5 cup mango. Totally useless.
The density conversion portion of the app is key for me. Using it brought these anomalies to light: 1) For example, gives same density for powdered sugar as granulated sugar. Incorrect: powdered sugar has about 60% the density of granulated sugar. 2) It should be possible to express the weight of ingredients in metric units, particularly in the Volume<->Mass conversions. 3) It is ironic that while weights are given in ounces, density is given in units of g/cm^3. 4) Very annoying is attempting to edit text in the Ingredients field: put the cursor somewhere *in* the text, hit the delete key, and the cursor jumps to the end of the text having deleted nothing. 5) I can find no preferences that control the interface. Wolfram software is generally excellent and I am confident that this app will follow that trend eventually.
