Wolfram Language to Go!

With the Wolfram Cloud app, you can view and edit your Wolfram Notebooks and Cloud Deployments from any place with a network connection, on any relatively recent iOS device. Today, we will cover:

System requirements

What works, and what doesn’t work

How to use the app

How to get the app

Cloud App System Requirements

You Need a Wolfram Cloud or Private Cloud Account

You do not, however, need to have a paid account. Even if you have a free or viewer account, you can sign in and deploy things with the app.

You Need an iOS Device

iOS 7 or later is required. Future versions of the app will require iOS 8 or later.
We do not have an Android version of the app yet.

We Strongly Recommend the Following:

Any iOS device with 2 GB or more physical RAM. Right now, that’s the iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6S.

The Following Will Also Work:

Any iOS device with 1 GB of physical RAM. The iPad 3, 4, and original Air; iPad Mini 2 or later; iPhone 5 and 6; iPod Touch 6.

Cloud App System Requirements (cont’d)

We Strongly Recommend Against the Following:

iOS devices with less than 1 GB of RAM. The iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPod Touch 5, and the original iPad mini.
The front end’s large memory requirement will run these devices out of memory easily. Since iOS does not support swap, the OS will force-quit the application & make it look like it crashed.
None of these devices are in production anymore.

You Might Want an Apple Watch

If you have an iPhone paired to an Apple Watch, you can use our Apple Watch app to view your deployments on your watch.

You Don’t Need a Full Battery

All computation occurs server-side.

What Works in the Cloud App

Connecting to either Wolfram Cloud or your organization’s private cloud

Browsing files and folders in your Cloud space

Creating new notebooks, if your plan allows it

Editing existing notebooks

All Wolfram Language functions that work in the Cloud on the Web also work in the app

Filling out instant APIs and instant Web forms

Magnification

Copying and pasting text & images from other iOS applications

(Image support is coming soon)

Inserting images from the camera or the photo gallery into a notebook or a Web form

Renaming and deleting objects

Browsing the online documentation

What Doesn’t Work in the Cloud App

Creating new folders

Moving objects between folders

Creating or viewing scheduled tasks

Sharing files with other users

Resizing of 2D objects

Rotation of 3D objects

SystemModeler integration

Reading from a connected device (directly)

Let’s take a look!
