I bought it for the ipod so I guess its not an April Fool's joke but I don't know about the Mobile Site (which should work too I think).

It was pretty douchey of them to put the app up for sale, then a little while later block the Mobile Safari user agent so that people couldn't use the site on the iPhone (despite it working just fine).

Yeah, Darth, that's precisely why I refuse to buy this app. I don't fund douchebaggery.

Piece of junk. Maybe useful for a few specific questions, but needs way more information to even come close to being of worth.

Umm, it's pretty robust in what it can do mathematically. $2 for graphing calculator functionality is a steal.

True, I hadn't thought of that, I was thinking more practically. If only I still did pure math.

Since they added the step by step tool as well, it is a good way to refresh yourself on certain topics.
