### 1/5 — Can't see input and output on the same screen

*2026-02-05*

It's not possible to see the input, script, and output all on the same screen and this app doesn't allow multiple instances either

### 1/5 — Great app but keeps crashing

*2023-09-29, version 3.4*

I like the app, specially it’s darker appearance which Matlab does not have. The issue is that the app crashes on my iPad Pro whenever I try to open or create a new file. Only the “Hello World” file works.

### 1/5 — Graphs don’t plot

*2020-01-08, version 2.5.1*

The graphing doesn’t appear to work. I’m not very happy since I paid for the ad free version. The free version appears to be able to plot graphs fine.

### 2/5 — ?

*2019-02-13, version 1.8*

How to load another mat lab file? In case I want to get more information to run code?

### 2/5 — Plot doesn’t work

*2018-09-01*

I paid, but the app still doesn’t render a basic plot

x = -10:0.1:10;
plot (x, sin (x));

The output is blank

**Developer response:** Hello, since the app runs in a sandbox mode, please add the following after your codes
sandbox_show();

You may also contact us at info@kappsmart.com with your codes if you require additional assistance.

### 2/5 — Requires internet :(

*2018-01-25*

‘Nuff said

### 3/5 — Проблема с открытием .м файлов

*2024-02-06*

Выдаёт ошибку при открытии .м файлов созданных на ПК в matlab r2017b. По непонятной причине открывает лишь часть из них.
Получаю “Error opening file”.

**Developer response:** Hello, what error are you getting? Please send us the files that you can't open to info@kappsmart.com

### 3/5 — Graphic output isn’t supported

*2021-11-20*

This interpreter don’t support graphic output on iOS 15. Only ascii is available, so It can’t render surface and graphic representations of matrices.

### 3/5 — How

*2018-07-17, version 1.7.3*

How to see image viewer??

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2018-05-19, version 1.7*

After developer response now supports multiple plots (remember to type sandbox_show() after calling each plot )

### 5/5 — Большое спасибо за бесплатный матлаб! (Thanks very much for the app)

*2020-06-10*

У меня нет возможности проверить свои лабораторные на компьютерной версии матлаб, ввиду того, что пк очень и очень тупит. Мне не нужны очень подробные графики, объемные вычисления и наглядный вывод - мне нужно было срочно где-то проверить правильность синтаксиса моих скриптов, их примерный вывод. Это приложение мне помогло. Один минус - реклама внизу экрана закрывает нектторые важные строки вывода, что не очень удобно.

Thanks so much for your app!
It helps me check my student works that I couldn't check via pc-matlab. It was so difficult to find free matlab-syntax app that maybe can help me with my works, but I've found it in App Store! Only one drawback: add at the bottom of screen doesn't disappear and disturb to see script's output

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! In the latest update, you may now scroll the output beyond the ads!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-01-22*

Love having a place to make quick calculations on. Please implement additional libraries such as statistics.

### 5/5 — Prático e conveniente

*2018-03-17, version 1.2*

Para alguns códigos da disciplina de Cálculo Numérico, me poupa de pegar o computador para usar o Octave ou MatLab

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2022-03-22, version 2.9.3*

Using this for some basic circuit calculations, works well. Only annoyance which to be fair I believe is mentioned in the description, I can’t get it to find anything apart from local storage and iCloud. Other apps have the ability to work with my git client app (working copy). Being a coding tool being able to use it with a version control client would be brilliant. Not tried plotting yet.

### 4/5 — It’s still not upgrade

*2020-04-01, version 2.6.2*

I still can not use the graph plotting.I already paid for upgrade this app but it’s not upgrade for me.
