Wolfram Player for iOS

Posted 9 years ago

We are excited to announce the release of Wolfram Player for iOS! Now you can harness the power of the Computable Document Format (CDF) anytime, anywhere. Wolfram Player syncs up with other apps on your mobile device—allowing you to access documents from any source—including from the Wolfram Cloud, iTunes, Dropbox and more!

One of the biggest features of this app is the ability to sideload documents into Wolfram Player from other applications. Additionally, Demonstrations and other Manipulate figures look and feel a lot more like what we envision them to be. The intuitive tactile interface offered by Wolfram Player gives a true hands-on approach to interactive modeling in a way that's never been done before.

When integrated with the Wolfram Cloud app, you can seamlessly move between designing notebooks and pulling them down for testing, thereby paving the way for increased collaboration and efficiency for a variety of projects.

Check it out for yourself.

Really curious what the "Infrequent/Mild Profanity or Crude Humor" might be that causes the app's rating to be 9+ at the iTunes store!

Not sure, but the network functions are pretty edgy (hey, you asked...)

Maybe they realized how <expletive> difficult it was to create?

I am planning to get a new phone later this month since I have moved to a new country and my old phone is causing me difficulties. I see there are good deals on Samsung (Android) and iPhones (IOS). My issue is I want to run notebook applications locally on my phone. So if I create a program that does something useful and I want to use it on the go then I want to run it locally on my mobile.

So my question is which device is more preferable for this usage. I see there are two types of applications on mobile devices being published by a company named Wolfram Group LLC, Wolfram Cloud and Wolfram Player. I am assuming the Wolfram Cloud app will not run the notebook application on the local mobile hardware so would be pretty slow and not feasible for computationally intensive applications.

So if anyone that has been using these apps on their devices, please share their experience on which phone to get. Also, I see that the Wolfram Player app is not available on the Google Play Store. Maybe there are some other Android stores where I can get the Wolfram Player app?

Finally, I am a long term windows user so I don't know much about how Samsung vs iPhone will behave in terms of connectivity with windows.

Also, please somebody explain if Wolfram Player can run notebook application directly then what is the purpose of CDF vs NB?

I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that CDF files could contain bad words and/or 3D renderings of "crude humor". Clever CDF coders could computationally generate the mildly profane output. In other words, statically filtering out all potential objectionable content in a computational environment is problematic.
