MATLAB Mobile iPad App

We are pleased to introduce MATLAB Mobile 3.0! This is a universal app, with UIs for both iPad and iPhone. You can download it today from the App Store.

What’s New in MATLAB Mobile Version 3.0

  • MATLAB Mobile iPad app
    Many of you have been asking for a dedicated iPad app. It’s here, enjoy!
  • Redesigned figure and snapshot views
    Figures and snapshots are combined into a single list for a streamline interface and easy access to a gallery of all the plots you have ever created on the device.
  • Better zooming capabilities for 2D figures
    When you have a live 2D figure, you can now zoom with the axes fixed.
  • New keys and symbols in extended keyboard
    Typing MATLAB code can still be a bit foreign on phones and tablet devices. We’ve added several commonly used keys to our extended keyboard. Tap and hold to discover more options.
  • Automatic parentheses matching
    This is my favorite app feature in this release. We all know brackets and parentheses are widely used in MATLAB code. This saves you the headache of closing and matching brackets.

If you have an iPhone or iPad give us feedback for this version!

    Looks cool but…

    ANDROID PLEASE.

  2. Clayton Chu replied on January 17th, 2012 at 09:46 UTC :

    ANDROID. How is it not out by now?

  3. Simon replied on January 17th, 2012 at 09:57 UTC :

    It looks really cool!

    Unfortunately, it won’t let me create a userid. After i input my email and password for my Mathworks account, it automatically tries to connect to the cloud and returns the error message “Unable to login because the user does not have a userid”.

    Is there another way to create this id?

    @Dan and @Clayton
    Thank you for your feedback.

    @Simon
    I be happy to troubleshoot this for you. Since I will need some of your account information, it’s best if we do this through email.

    I notice that your favourite app in this release is “Automatic parentheses matching” which sounds great. Sadly I can’t try this out because I don’t have an iPhone (I do have an Android), but I am guessing it will be similar to a neat feature I have seen elsewhere – you type an open bracket ( or { and the matching closing bracket ) or } is added automatically but with the cursor inside the bracketed expression. The question is can we please have such a feature on the MATLAB desktop too, this being I imagine the default environment for MATLAB work?

  6. John replied on January 17th, 2012 at 17:06 UTC :

    I am also having the same “Unable to login because the user does not have a userid” message and I have an existing matlab account associated with our commercial license. Would you assist me as well Daniel?

    Regards,
    John

  7. Todd replied on January 17th, 2012 at 22:32 UTC :

    I too am receiving an error: “unable to login because the user does not have a user id”. Has anyone identified a solution for this? Thanks!

    @Todd and @mkwak

    We are investigating this issue. Once I have an update I will contact you individually and post an update in the blog post. Thanks for your patience.

    @Julian

    I will forward this enhancement request to our MATLAB Desktop team. In general, if you have an idea how to make MATLAB more user friendly, we are always listening. You can post here, MATLAB Central, or create an enhancement request at our Support page!

  25. Michael Katz replied on January 20th, 2012 at 20:01 UTC :

    Hey all, we must released MATLAB Mobile 3.0.1 in the app store. This fixes the User ID issue. When you log in, you should be brought to a screen where you will be prompted to create a user id. Let us know if you continue to experience log on issues.

  26. Ron replied on January 20th, 2012 at 21:32 UTC :

    Will you release this on Windows Phone?

    Thanks.

  27. Todd replied on January 21st, 2012 at 09:30 UTC :

    Just updated the app. Works great. Well done! Thanks

  28. Michael Katz replied on January 23rd, 2012 at 10:35 UTC :

    @Ron,
    We are still evaluating platforms beyond iOS and Android, but have nothing to announce at this time.

  29. Ekendra replied on January 31st, 2012 at 12:29 UTC :

    This must be request from a huge Android base community; and we are sure that you will surprise us soon with Android based version soon! Thank you, while we wait a while!

    Cool…but useless to me until there’s an Android version.

    Please!!! :(

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
