Features & Capabilities

MATLAB Mobile lets you connect to MATLAB from your iPhone or iPad and perform core MATLAB tasks on the go. Use the Editor to view, edit, and create files, access the MATLAB command line, and acquire data from device sensors. Visualize results with 2D and 3D plots and store your work on MATLAB Drive for cloud access.

Link a current MathWorks license to unlock additional cloud storage and access to add-ons. With MATLAB Drive, you start with 5 GB of storage and can upgrade to 20 GB when you link your license. Note that mobile support is limited: MATLAB Apps, App Designer, 3D figures, and Simulink are not available on mobile. Continued GPS use can also affect battery life.

User Reviews

MATLAB Mobile on iPad offers strong performance and useful mobile access, with notable gains from ongoing iPad optimizations and multi-tasking improvements. However, widespread issues persist: unreliable connections (VPN/background disconnects), plotting and graphics shortcomings (scaling, resetting, animations), editing and live-script keyboard problems, file handling/save limitations, and stability/login glitches. The app is valuable for mobile workflows, but key features—plotting, saving, and reliability—need fixes to approach desktop parity.

Pros

Strong performance on iPad hardware with fast MATLAB processing.
Ongoing improvements and optimized iPad experience, including multi-tasking support and new UI.
Allows MATLAB use on iPad for coursework and remote work, reducing the need for a desktop.
Mobile-accessible MATLAB scripting/command-line functionality.
Clear enthusiasm from users who value having MATLAB on iPad and its potential.

Cons

Frequent connection issues: lost connections, VPN blocks, and the app disconnecting in the background.
Plotting and graphics limitations: scaling/resizing bugs, plots not resetting after clear, and lack of animations.
Keyboard/live-script editing bugs: erratic cursor behavior, editing limitations on iPad, and issues with live scripts when using a keyboard.
File handling and Drive integration problems: problematic data/file loading, broken file dialogs (uigetfile), and saving limitations for live files.
Stability problems: crashes on launch or during use and various account/login issues.

Recent reviews

(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.

Matlab is an incredibly power suite of programs, I have been using it professionally for over 30 year. One of its strength is it ability to present complex data in ways non-experts can understand, often by using animated and interactive figures. Unfortunately, the mobile version has stripped even the most basic animation capabilities from figures. No drawnow, no realtime redeeming, no movie…. You get last frame. Not sure what they are shooting for here. It is not due to hardware limitations , tablets and cell phones have plenty of graphis power, there is no license option to enable animations… it is really a shame. I cannot overstate my disappointment.
