Description

~~~~~~~~~
Check out our FREE app Console, which is powered by SIMO's MATLAB interpreter. If you find Console useful, SIMO is definitely suitable for you.
~~~~~~~~~

SIMO is a feature-rich development environment for MATLAB. We have developed a version of MATLAB interpreter that works for commonly used language syntax and functions for beginners.

[+] Who will find SIMO useful?

- Students learning the basics of MATLAB.
- Course instructors of fundamental MATLAB courses.
- Individuals whose works do not depend on specialised toolboxes and advanced language syntax.

[+] What is SIMO?

- It is an integrated environment for running MATLAB.
- It allows you to create, edit, and run MATLAB code on iOS devices.
- Unlike other apps that compute on the cloud, it performs computation entirely locally on device. No internet connection is needed. You don't miss a single app feature even if you are offline.

[+] What SIMO cannot do?

- It does not completely replace MATLAB, as it has only a subset of built-in functions of MATLAB.
- It does not support advanced features such as Simulink or creating user-interface.

[+] One app, all platforms

- You will be amazed at how much work you can do on a phone. The app is designed to let you work effectively on smaller screens.
- The iPad app features a split-screen layout. You can enjoy a full-screen workspace, or work on two views simultaneously.
- The iPad app runs on Macs with Apple silicon as well. Buy one app and it works on all of the platforms.

[+] MATLAB interpreter

- The interpreter works for language syntax that is essential to survive a MATLAB course. It provides the most commonly used built-in functions for learners.
- The interpreter computes on your device locally. You will not miss a single app feature even if you go completely offline.
- SIMO comes with a full set of documentation and user guides. It is offline accessible and full-text searchable.

[+] Visualization tool

- Plots are rendered in real-time using your device's computing power. Operations such as updating line attributes, pan and zoom are fast and responsive.
- Stunning 3D plots are rendered by the device's GPU in real-time. Pan, zoom or rotate with multi-touch gestures, trackpad or keyboard shortcuts.
- Plot attributes are editable through the built-in user-interface. You can improvise with different styles without entering a single line of code.

[+] Command console

- You can run one or many lines of code from the command console. It supports line numbering, auto-intent and syntax highlighting.
- Search over thousand lines of output data instantly. You'll never get overwhelmed by the sea of numbers.
- Output data are formatted automatically to fit the screen size or app window. Data are always neatly presented however you resize the app.

[+] File manager

- Files can be synced across all of your iCloud Drive enabled devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). Or, you can store them locally on device.
- Tons of files buried in tons of folders? No worries. The search feature will help you find an item instantly.
- It has features you expect from a useful file manager. Add, copy, delete, duplicate, move, rename, sort and more.

[+] Script editor

- It has features you expect from a useful script editor. Syntax highlight, auto-indent, line numbers and more.
- Search for a word in a script. Replace occurrences with another word.
- Recent items are accessible from your finger tip. It is a useful feature for navigating through frequently accessed files. 

What’s New

Version 3.1.7

- New functions: cot, cotd, coth, acot, acotd, acoth.
- Various improvement and fixes.

A game changing app

As an engineering researcher, I use Matlab a lot. Calculators don’t quite make the grade when solving back of the envelope problems that involve complex numbers, hyperbolic functions, and the occasional algorithm. I’m much more comfortable typing in a Matlab expression.

My first impressions of SIMO are overwhelmingly positive. The UI is well thought out and even a bit clever. Swiping left and right in the title bar to switch between the File Manager, Editor, Console and Plot Windows takes full advantage of the iOS interface. The import/export options, use of iCloud, ability to use csv files, keyboard options, and the plot manager are all well thought out. While some specialized functions like Bode plots and Smith Charts aren’t (yet) present, the list of supported functions seems very complete and will suit most of my needs. And the app is being actively developed and supported.

The support from the developer is outstanding. Replies are prompt and most helpful.

SIMO won’t replace Matlab on my laptop but I expect that my calculator will get a lot less use now while iPad will get a lot more use. It’s certainly changed the way that I think of my iPad when I’m doing engineering calculations. Well done!

Clever but lacking in functions

The SIMO app is close to being a great tool. It allows writing matlab scripts and execution of them on your local device. It has a good user interface and support in terms of built in documentation. Unfortunately, only about 239 functions are included. There is no FFT or spectral analysis capability. This app is at present only useful for learning basic matlab programming, but has the promise to be a great portable solution for matlab programming if it is developed further.

App Privacy

The developer, Numerical Co., indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below. For more information, see the developer's privacy policy.
