Leave a Review Wolfram Cloud
Flawed Execution
Cloud Mathematica on iOS would be incredibly convenient. If this app’s performance and usability problems were solved, it’s be amazing. In the mean time it’s only useful for the tiniest notebooks.Pi.boy.travis
Very poor user interface
This app lacks basic iOS functionality such as the ability to select of text and copy and paste. You also cannot scroll the screen while editing so the keyboard obstructs your view of the maths functions you are trying to type!m3333uk
Far below the quality of Wolfram is known for
Use the web version that is more efficient and user-friendly.meitnik

This app has so much potential, but it is pathetically buggy. It worked for a few minutes, then suddenly I’m unable to type, and now I’m unable to log in. Tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app.
Using mobile Safari to access Wolfram Cloud functions better. I have confidence it Wolfram to make this app. And I will re-review when it doesShow lessQuantumMunki
it works fine
the app works fine. it's not 100% of the desktop version, but it works okay. the documentation is all accessible. contrary to many other reviews, copy-and-paste and manipulation of cells works.
with the new ARM macs coming out, maybe we will finally get Mathematica that runs locally on the iPad as a side effect of supporting those. but until then, this is not a bad option.Show lesscrucialrhyme
Please make it more usable
I am appreciated that wolfram have issued this for the user who mainly use iPad.
But there are many issues needed to be solved:
Such as how to manipulate the plotting results and animate(it can be done well in desktop browser, but this app can support it) and use the sensor and video camera in iPad to use some functions such as CurrentImage[].
Please update more often!Show lessbigsecondbro
Apalling
No keyboard support, typing does not working half of the time, frequent connection drop outs, on screen keyboard takes up more than half the screen space and sometimes does not even show up, no copy and paste support for individual parts in text boxes.
You would think that a company that specialises in developing a computational engine with sophisticated algorithms is at least capable of making a working UI 🙄.Show lessaaronshenhao
Good When I Get a Connection
I find this a useful way to look at notebooks while away from my computer. My only problem is that I haven’t been able to get a connection for several days.Kdavids4
It is still an impressive “pocket computer algebraic system”
Although the system runs on the Wolfram Cloud and online Mathematica instead of local computer hardware, the software is quite beneficial. From my usage of the cloud and local Mathematica, I can attest that the “mobile” version of Mathematica can handle Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, Calculus II, and Differential Equations. However, although the online version of Mathematica can do partial differentiation and multiple integrals, as required in Calculus III, the online version lacks in the graphing of planes in 3 dimensions - specifically rotating them. Nonetheless, I have not seen an app that one can pull out their phone and easily solve a differential equation: DSolve[y’’[x] + y[x] == 0, y[x], x]. The function of this software is truly up to the user - where it might be helpful to some and not functional for others. However for the high school student or undergraduate in college, this is quite an investment in your education.Show lessSccar Face
slow and hardly usable
Updated review:
Little has changed since the release of this app, the devs should focus on improving the interface and speed of this app. Furthermore the evaluation of cells should be done on the device instead of the cloud as most of the newer phones and ipads have decent specs and would handle most workflows. Cloud execution only makes sense for enterprise users where personal computing resources are lacking, sadly this app neither provides “superfast cloud execution” nor does it make use of the phone/tablet’s local computing power. Sure sharing notebooks between devices is great but that’s as far as “cloud” should go.
Old review:
This app is hopelessly unresponsive and sluggish (even scrolling is slow). Another issue is the interface, Mathematica notebooks do not fit well to the screen size and zooming in is a pain. I consider this a broken app, with low quality standards (I bet it isn’t native) which is unfortunate being that their desktop app works so well and is delightful to use.Show lessNevensky
