User reviews

Doesnโ€™t work

None of the functionality stated in the user guide works.

Good... but sometimes hard to read menus

I think that this will be an excellet tool for demonstrating what the Traveling Salesman Problem is.

I find, though, that the menu is very hard to read because of the color palette used; I can hardly see the menu selections. Would be great if there was a way to make them show up better regardless of the color palette chosen by the system.

This is amazing!!!

It takes a little learning time, playing with the settings, but it's not hard at all. It's absolutely amazing how easy it is to use once you get the hang of it.

Personal tip, I found it easier if you go into editing software to remove the background. I played around with some coloring book photos and they came out very easily.

Not practical for real-world TSPs

I downloaded this because I wanted to provide a real world list of destinations and solve the resulting TSP. Frustratingly, the app does offer this capability somewhat: you can add points on a map by long-pressing them, but not by just providing the name or address!

Please make this practical to use by simply providing a search box to add destinations!

UI bugged

Didnโ€™t seem to work... user interface bugged

FAQ

What is the Concorde TSP app?

Concorde TSP is a free application that computes exact optimal solutions for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). It allows users to find the shortest route to visit a list of cities and return to the starting point, with computations performed locally on the device.

What kind of problems can Concorde TSP solve?

Concorde TSP specializes in solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which involves finding the shortest possible route that visits a given set of cities and returns to the origin city. It can handle instances with 1,000 or more cities.

Does Concorde TSP require an internet connection to work?

No, all computations for solving TSP instances are carried out locally on your iPhone or iPad. This means the app does not require an internet connection to function for its core TSP solving capabilities.

What are the different modules included in Concorde TSP?

The app includes several modules such as Exact TSP Solver, 3D Points, TSP Art, Map Routing, Tour-Finding Heuristics, Cutting Planes, TSP Challenge, Minimum Spanning Tree, and Perfect Matching.

Is Concorde TSP suitable for beginners learning about TSP?

Yes, the app is a companion to the book "In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman: Mathematics at the Limits of Computation" and includes modules like TSP Challenge and Map Routing, which can help users understand and engage with the problem.

What devices is Concorde TSP available on?

Concorde TSP is available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices. It is designed to run computations locally on these Apple platforms.

How often is Concorde TSP updated?

The latest version of Concorde TSP is 1.8.0, which was last updated on August 14, 2020. Further update frequency information is not provided.

Does Concorde TSP have ads?
