### 1/5 — Nice attempt but mostly unusable

*2024-08-15*

Nice attempt but mostly unusable. Mathematica has been my main research tool for more than 25 years. I love it and rely on it. However, my hopes of being able to deploy and use Mathematica-based solutions on a mobile device have been frustrated across the board. The player (on both iPad and iOS) has huge gaps in the functionality implemented and is unstable. Documentation and technical support for it are virtually non-existent (despite me paying for Enterprise-level support). At this point I have spent far too much time trying to find workarounds for bugs and missing functionality (that exists in the full implementation) to make it worthwhile. I will have to either live without mobile functionality or port to a different system. 

The basic concept is brilliant: develop on the desktop and simply deploy on the mobile. However, the solution is so poorly executed as to render it useless. Many aspects of this unfortunately also applies to the Wolfram cloud application on iOS (even though Wolfram cloud on a desktop browser works fine).

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving us feedback. We apologize for any inconveniences. Can you please contact us at info@wolframalpha.com with details on the issues you are facing with Wolfram Player? We will be happy to assist and resolve and we are always looking to improve our apps.

### 1/5 — Don’t pay the ten dollars for interactivity

*2021-05-10, version 12.2.0*

I purchased this to run interactive plots which costs an additional $10. I paid the money, but it doesn’t work. Perhaps Wolfram support can help me, but it simply should not be this complicated.

### 1/5 — 根本不值得68

*2020-10-10*

花了68解锁那个动态图，结果根本打不开文件？连图片都显示不出来啥玩意？？？买了个寂寞

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2020-05-11, version 12.1.0*

Please work on the stability of this. I can't open a simple notebook without crashing the app.

### 1/5 — Images Not Loading

*2020-01-15, version 12.0.1*

I was instructed to download this so I could download CDF files from my instructor for an online class. The images appear when I download them on my laptop, but when I try and use this app on my tablet, the images do not show up. It just says “figure 1.”Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-02-05, version 11.3.1*

More complex worksheets cause crashes of WolframPlayer. Very annoying and App is unusable for my purposes. In-app purchase wasted. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Really really disappointing

*2018-10-27, version 11.3.1*

Incredible! It’s really bad. Basic zooming and panning are broken. What else can you expect?

### 2/5 — Interactivity with extra costs

*2022-06-23, version 13.0.0*

My notebooks contain a lot of interactive elements, unfortunately this doesn’t work with the standard version. One has to pay an extra 10 euros…

### 2/5 — It is not very useful to visualize notebook files

*2019-09-15, version 12.0.1*

Unless all the content is already there calculated and saved (in which case a pdf file would be better). So I simply do not see as very useful.

### 2/5 — Very Unstable

*2018-03-01*

I purchased this app in order to show CDF files generated by Mathematica for educational purposes to my students. The app is very unstable on my IPAD pro 10.5. It crashes too often for me to do any meaningful work. Please improve this app soon.

### 5/5 — Not sure about all the squawking is about

*2023-07-31, version 13.3.0*

After waiting a few seconds to download I read all the reviews. I saw a cool CDF of a plane radial engine. It was jumpy and not fluid in Safari. Downloaded the file, I opened the app. Then hit import, it knew right where to find my file. Open. Wonderful and all controls are working no jumpy playback. Works as expected. Not sure what all the squawking is about/ nice job developers. I’ve done programming and software. This is a cool tool and would love to check out any development tools to possibly make my own. I’ll push it on Quara as well. Nice program. 
Works on my IPhone 12. 128k storage.

### 5/5 — 完整的mathematica

*2020-11-07*

太方便了 震撼 真正的生产力 可以自由输入哦

### 5/5 — Schön

*2018-03-07, version 11.2.1*

Die App funktioniert genau so wie sie soll!

### 5/5 — 界面有待优化

*2018-01-12*

界面显示感觉有待优化，偏离iOS11的设计

### 5/5 — Dynamic功能解锁68元

*2017-10-30*

结合airserver 可以高效投屏演示动态素材
但作图质量不能太高 太高则卡

### 5/5 — Officially Released!!!

*2017-10-04, version 11.1.2*

I have been with this app’s progress since the first beta code public release. Every update introduced new functions, new bugs and fixes for those bugs. I am so glad that the CDF is functional on iOS, it has made school much easier

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2017-10-04, version 11.1.2*

Best way to view notebooks on iOS. Very fluid animations. Needs keychain support.

### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!

*2017-09-19*

A great app that I've been waiting for a long time.

### 4/5 — スライドのプレゼンテーション時の外部キーボード対応がほしい

*2020-01-26*

Wolfram Cloudアプリに比べると全般的に安定感があります。

スライドのプレゼンテーション時に外部キーボードの矢印キーでスライドの切り替えや、ページスクロールができるとBluetoothのカーソル付きレーザポインタを使う場合に便利になると思います。

### 4/5 — Missing a full Version of Mathematica...

*2017-12-10, version 11.2*

This is a good product, but I am missing a full version of Mathematica for IOS...
