## What is MATLAB Mobile?

Connect to MATLAB® from your iPhone or iPad.

Evaluate MATLAB commands, create and edit files, view results, acquire data from sensors, and visualize data – from the convenience of your mobile device.
 
CONNECT TO THE CLOUD 
Use your MathWorks Account to connect to MathWorks Cloud from MATLAB Mobile™. Linking a license that is current on MathWorks Software Maintenance Service to your MathWorks Account increases your storage quota and unlocks access to other add-on products on the license. 

With your MathWorks Account, you can:  
• Access MATLAB from the command-line  
• View, run, edit and create files from the Editor 
• Acquire data from device sensors 
• Store your files and data on MATLAB Drive (you receive 5 GB of cloud storage)


Link a license that is current on MathWorks Software Maintenance Service to your MathWorks Account to unlock the following features:
• Access to other add-on products on your license 
• 20 GB of cloud storage on MATLAB Drive

FEATURES
• Command-line access to MATLAB and add-on products
• MATLAB Copilot for AI-assisted coding with a valid license
• 2D and 3D plots to visualize data
• Editor to view, run, edit and create MATLAB files
• Data acquisition from device sensors
• Image and video acquisition from the camera 
• Cloud storage and synchronization with MATLAB Drive
• Custom keyboard to enter typical MATLAB syntax

LIMITATIONS
The following features are not supported:
• Using MATLAB Apps, such as Curve Fitting
• Creating apps with App Designer
• Interacting with 3D figures 
• Opening or creating models using the Simulink graphical environment

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 5/5 — go

*2026-03-03, version 9.10*

good

### 1/5 — Recent update bugs

*2026-01-16, version 9.10*

(iPad Air M2, 26.2) As of the recent update, plots do not scale to fit the window when opened unless the window is transformed while the plot is open. Since the plot cannot be saved if the window is transformed while it’s open, saving a plot as an image now requires generating the plot, opening the plot, resizing the window to properly scale the plot, closing the plot, reopening the plot, then using the save button.

### 1/5 — We want the full Matlab desktop application!!

*2026-01-15, version 9.10*

We don't want a clunky cloud drive that is not integrated with file explorer, or a sloth speed cloud based computation with zero GPU capabilities. We want the full desktop application so my iPad pro can use the M5, and we want to install all the toolboxes on iPadOS.

And we also want to use Apple Silicon GPU with parallel computing toolbox on iPad and Mac. Why is it only for CUDA? Now apple silicon has the hardware to accelerate AI/ML tasks!

This app is just straight up useless in this state.

### 3/5 — Dynamic graphs

*2025-11-27, version 9.9.1*

There is a problem with dynamic graphs. Both 2d and 3d graphs. The program starts and runs to the end without showing a graphical window with changes — only the final result. This is very inconvenient. 
Also, please, add app designer for this mobile version.

### 1/5 — Non mi fa nemmeno accedere

*2025-11-24, version 9.9.1*

Sto provando da mezz’ora ad accedere al mio account istituzionale, ma mi dice impossibile caricare il contenuto non appena metto l’e-mail dell’università. Sul browser invece funziona, quindi vorrei capire come mai, assurdo.

### 1/5 — no operation on iPad Air m3

*2025-11-02, version 9.9.1*

Application No support and non operation

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2025-10-15, version 9.9.1*

Internet was down at my university, with an iPad powerful like mine ( the iPad Air with m2 chip ), it should work locally.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2025-10-02, version 9.9*

Not bad

### 1/5 — Chia sẽ các file không được

*2025-08-05, version 9.8*

Nên xóa app

### 1/5 — Straight trash

*2025-06-17, version 9.8*

Can’t split screen and reloads every 5 secs
