Octave
The app is now free (as in $) to use, but a donation is appreciated to keep things going.
You are required to get the Octave Main Package (com.octave.main) to use this.You are required to get the Octave Gnuplot Package (com.octave.gnuplot) to support plotting.There are many additional packages (com.octave.*) for use.
This is a different sort of app. Unpacking the executable and other files necessary for Octave to run will take awhile when you install or upgrade this, but will be worth it. Whether this is installed to the sdcard or to internal storage, the executables and libraries will take up around 100MB of internal storage either way.
You can add .m files and a .octaverc startup file in an external storage directory setup for you. Often at /sdcard/GNUOctave/home.
Your latest plots (.png files) can be found in an external storage directory setup for you. Often at /sdcard/GNUOctave/intents.
You will be running in a fake chroot of sorts which includes Octave and many of the programs you expect to find in a standard GNU/Linux (read Debian) install. The fake chroot is split between your external/shared partition (often /sdcard) and your internal (/data/data/com.octave) to save space.
Plot commands and edit commands fire off intents to use whatever image viewer or text editor you have.

Wow, very clever. Keep us directed to download other apps. Uninstalling. Don't know how much other app you have to install in order to make this app works. Waste of time!
Awesome. I just wish the install was cleaner and the UI was better.
not working on oreo 8.1 , error setup second step
Not working in Android pi
Why are you not upgrading this application package?
Very useful app. I find most things work well enough. This app is solid and it saves me from carrying a laptop. Few problems: The chi2inv function returns NaN in all cases I tried. Also I cannot use the up arrow key to scroll through commnd history. The difficulty of editing, copying and pasting code is the biggest problem. If this could be improved I would use this app much more.
I tried this app but it is not working after downloading x86 GNU Package it stuck in loading screen of Octave. It says 'It may take a while to set up'. After 6 hours it remains stuck at same place. Please fix it.
This app keeps telling me that setting up will take a while but it's been almost 3 days and it still says the same thing. Other friends have installed it in less than 5 mins. What the hell is wrong? Is it possible that the app is not compatible with my phone?
Return key missing most of the time and I have either a "Done" or "Search" key in place of the return key which makes the app useless.
This app keep loading setup all the time, even telling error in downloading setup. I guess it's stuck there and it can't go anywhere further.
Error running setupsecondhalf() it says and then it may take a while is the message i have been seeing for around 6-7 hours, does it take that much time or its not working.
The app is really awesome But 2 problems 1.i can not draw parametric graphs 2. Also not the mash grids Please help
It's a little hard to install completely but definitely this app is THE MOST USEFUL TOOL I'VE NEVER HAD IN MY TABLET, I don't need to bring my laptop to class anymore
I run the app and the app just says it's installing Octave forever. I have a powerful phone and an extremely good network connection, so it's not my setup.
Doesn't work on new Android (error setupSecondHalf) but it used to be great anyway. New version, gnuroot octave, works perfectly. Many thanks for your great work.
Gives a popup to install GNU Octave Main Package; opens nonexistent page on Play Store (item not found). Either make this app available in same regions as its requirements or fix your links.
I use it on daily basis. Thank you! Please don't enforce upon us the GNUroot version of octavebbefore GNUroot is in a much better shape.
The previous version was awesome. This and GNUroot will not install rendering it useless. Would appreciate being able to use the nice *working* version, it really was a gem.
Error in setup second half () please tell how to get it done
Rubbish please how long is a while I have been waiting for more than a week trying it each day
This works much better than the GNURoot version, but the preliminary nagging can't be stopped. So I'm removing this, and I'll do without Octave on Android.
Received setupSecondHalf() error message. Left it run over night, still didn't finish.
Stuck on the loading screen forever. So the app is basically useless.
its great i can test code while waiting.
special keys don't work at redmi2
Not working. Error in setup second half.
Not working. Problem in running GNURoot Debian
Works flawless on my Galaxy S5 mini with Android 6.0.1
I wonder how much donation at the least needed to get rid of the annoying popup recommending GnuRoot installation.Hope the developer openly states a specific amount of dollar donation here in response.True,he's done a great job but this matter really stinks.
