Leave a Review Pythonista 3
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR ME
Thank you Ole Moritz for creating Pythonista with its many standout IDE features. I have created an application launcher for my iPhone using the Pythonista app and HTML. The main page of my launcher has animated GIF buttons plus emojis to launch favorite apps. An alphabet search is displayed at bottom of main page to launch lesser used apps. The wrench dialogue of Pythonista is used to startup my launcher by running the python script that selects my launcher HTML file and passes it to the built-in Webbrowser of Pythonista for display on iPhone. Multiple web apps can be started in unique tabs but only one tab window can be active at a time. My launcher will remain active until a different web app is activated by pressing its tab ID. Switching between different tab apps is a unique and magical feature of Pythonista.
FIVE STARSShow lessdugnino
Hackers Paradise
Was super excited to learn Python and read that Pythonista was the best for iPad Pro and iPhone. Unfortunately, what I didn’t know at the time was it’s a hackers paradise and can be easily used to steal your information or implant spyware. The library allows for “built-ins” or modules which can easily be configured without the primary user and device owner’s knowledge. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if you could simply delete the files…spoiler alert: you cannot delete files which have been locked by the unauthorized user. Therefore, I’m giving this app which has an excellent UI among things a 1 star review because thanks to its poor security features I now have an entire library of spyware on all of my Apple devices.Show lessandydannielle
Transformed how I use my iPad
Just picked this up a few days ago to explore and found it to be a blast! Making custom UIs working with pandas data reading/writing json. Quick to learn and great documentation.
It is really opening up a space for me to use my iPad in new creative ways - thank you!
Question: If I wanted to take a directory with my scripts and resources and bundle the current Pythonistas tool inside my own App for distribution on the App Store --- is this doable? I found some templates for Python 2 but have not found much information yet on building and distributing your own apps with Pythonista.Show lessstar-mix
I love Pythonista BUT
I don’t know how to report issues so I’m gonna use this. I just wanna let the devs know that Python crashes when I rename a specific folder. The folder I am renaming contains several other folders & over 10 empty text field scripts for typing / writing information that is not a script file for making scripts & stuff.
But yeah, so it crashes when I rename that folder but doesn’t crash when renaming other folders. Just the one. It’s in “This iPhone > Definitions” Definitions is the folder I am renaming. It contains 4 other folders. It is Renaming the folder just freezes up when I press “Rename” after typing the name I want it to be.
Other than that I love python & I’m such a noob I’ve been trying to learn for years now but I can’t get past the simplest small scripts like math & printing words. There is a lot of things it just becomes a blur. I suppose if I had better memory then I could be further along than currently.
Thank youShow lessRoverPro
Joyful
This app was, when I was in a low place pretty much my only way to learn. It and some browsing have been pretty much all the resources and capability provided to actually create some small things and feel kind of decent. It's pretty much a source of inspiration right now to be able to do some neat stuff eventually. Editorial is with it as well. Thank you.Show lessBit Byte
Semi Retired IT Consultant
Coding has been in my toolbox since punchcards when RPG was an IBM & VAX program not a role playing game! I have loved and continue to love Python, constantly thinking Python when out and about, without a pad or a notebook but always with an iPhone. Pythonista affords great functionality in the palm of the hand, snippet samples scraped and tested, while waiting at the DMV or where ever… make a script, runn it and use the console to see the output, in a minute, from idea to results on the mobile phone… lovin it!Show lessTechgoat
Amazing
The top bar has all the shortcuts you need like parenshisis quotes colons etc… its easy to make a script it just says “create script” then it auto puts the py extension for you then run is a play button it opens a new window to run it and it has tabs for everything. No overclutter just the features you need. Works perfect on my iphone SE (step up from iphone 7)Show lessgaushdbfih
Needs some serious updates
I really love Pythonista. However, it needs some serious updates! Even the touch keyboard is starting to glitch while typing. Updating to the latest version of python will be great! I know that’s easier said than done, but an app like this needs to keep up with the latest edition of python once in a while at least. If no updates made in near future, this app will start to become irrelevant. No one can keep coding on an outdated or broken program! If a new update will not be free, the I will gladly pay for it! I love the app but I need it to be working and meet my needs!Show lessX-Wild-Wolf
This App Got Me Into Programming
I started using this app when I was 12 on my iPad that I had as a kid. The app is amazing, and has custom modules that let you control your device and create custom apps and such. It’s got UI modules, full access to documentation, and all the normal python modules. Even better, it works entirely offline. This app singlehandly allowed me to program things when and where I wanted, and allowed me to become a skilled programmer getting a degree in computer science. As far as mobile IDEs go, it’s the absolute best. In addition, there’s a community that creates tons of incredible programs that enhance the IDE, such as GitHub support, and even a fully functional bash terminal complete with pip so that you can install your own custom modules. It really is the best app on iOS for programming, and I would recommend it to anybody looking to try out programming. It’s well worth it’s price tag.Show lessTheWeirdSquid
great tool, some whacky behavior
Just that, I use it all the time. I always have a certain file open, and run that every time I start to update a few data things from the interwebs. Sometimes, and not just after a restart, it will start with no files open, and what's worse is of the files available, the one I use the most is completely absent. Checking via the Files app, it's still right there. Not sure that's going on there. Otherwise, has numpy and matplotlib which are my most used things.Show lesscatawboy
