Jupyter notebooks are a powerful tool used in education and research. You can write small snippets of Python code and observe the result on screen, combine with paragraphs of text, using Markdown. Carnets provides a complete, stand-alone, implementation of Jupyter notebooks. Everything runs on your device, using the embedded Python interpreter; you do not need an internet connection. Compared to the standard version (Carnets), this app adds several packages targeted for scientific computation and learning: scipy, sklearn, seaborn and coremltools. You can switch between standard notebooks and the more modern jupyterlab using the Settings app. Of course, all the packages included with the standard app are present too: numpy, simply, matplotlib... To see the full list of installed packages, type "%pip list" in a code window. You can add more packages using "%pip install packageName", but only if they are pure Python. You can share your notebooks with other apps and also open notebooks or directories managed by other apps. Partial list of installed packages: astropy, babel, bokeh, cartopy, cryptography, cvxopt, Fiona, geopandas, geopy, gym, inequality, libpysal, lxml, mapclassify, matplotlib, networkx, nltk, numpy, openCV, pandas, parso, pillow, pyFFTW, pyproj, qutip, rasterio, regex, Rtree, scikit-learn, scipy, seaborn, segregation, shapely, soupsieve, spopt, statsmodels, sympy, wordcloud.
Had trouble earlier but works great now.
Update: Could the developer comment and clarify whether there is an internal file browser beyond the integrated Files app? Is it actually possible to import and utilize basic image files in projects? This app is great and the only one I know about with the capabilities it has locally. If you get an error “Currently unable to make or access notebook. File load error. .ipynb does not exist.” It could be related to the iOS settings of the app that determines where files are. I changed mine from cloud to local and it fixed things. Though I’m not sure why this happened.
Literally Files and Safari mashed on top of each other.
I dunno what to say. It’s got zero UX. It’s not an actual product. It’s two existing products that feel like an internship case study barfed into the App Store. It’s quite literally an embedded Jupyter notebook iframe, which pulls from — who knows, online? The web? It doesn’t ever say. The app opens in a file manager of iOS files with literally no explanation, No branding, no login, no logo (which indicates the lack of any real product)… No navigation into any actual notebook. Most of all, no way to create a notebook 🤣. It’s devoid of explanation or purpose or real intent. What did the devs expect the user to do once they got in? We may never n know. The iframe nav and menu inside an already compiled iOS app is — to be totally honest — mind boggling to see as something that has launched with approval on the App Store. I truly see no benefit to the abstract and ubiquitous mashed potato ux this thing throws you in once you find an existing notebook to use. How do you add files, where’s your dataframe, are there any possible working directories? I can’t see a plausible or ethical justification for charging for an upgrade on this either as you’d simply be buying two prebuilt apps that already exist in your phone: Files and your browser.
Excellent Tool: Help with IOS would be terrific.
I began using this tool recently, as I am taking an online data science course, and I have an iPad as my computer. So far the libraries I need are all present, and additional ones can be installed using the !pip install command. A challenge for me has been how to specific a path to find Excel data I need to access on iOS. I need to use the path command to specify the directory holding the Excel file. It would be helpful if the author produced a short paper showing how to specify the path for OneDrive (I have multiple accounts for OneDrive.), Dropbox, the On My , iPad Files App, Google Drive.
Thank you
This is a incredible app

Useful but recently unusable.
