  • The best on the market, but I wish it had just one more feature

    This is an incredible app that has really helped me push my python skills. Worth every penny. It blows my mind that I have numpy and matplotlib in my pocket. What would really make it the ultimate is if we could bring in data from other apps (e.g. iCloud, Excel, webscraping, etc.). It would then be possible to do proper data analytics on the go. Please include this!

  • Amazing app but minor problem (EDIT)

    As a beginner python programmer, this app is the holy grail in terms of coding with python on the go. Very easy to use and there is no lag or slow saving. I am having a minor problem however. Whenever I move a coding document to the iCloud section on my iPad, it does not seem to sync with my iPhone. This may be my mistake but i cannot find anything online to help so a developer response would be greatly appreciated
    (EDIT)
    Major mistake on my part, I simply was not allowing the app to fully refresh. Great app, definitely a must buy for any python programmer

  • A Python IDE for iOS

    Truly a remarkable app with amazing capabilities!

    As a part-time mobile app developer, full time tinkerer, I write a lot of mobile apps for myself. This used to require a paid developer account and competency in various languages and supporting tools. For myself, most of this madness has been replaced with Pythonista programs.

    Amongst many features, you get a theme-able editor with syntax highlighting, auto-complete and a built-in debugger, a REPL, and a UI builder. Add the community-developed shell, StaSh, and you get a basic terminal with pip to pull dependencies for your programs. With action sheet support it is trivial to create programs that integrate seamlessly with other iOS apps. Works great with repository management apps like Working Copy.

  • Essential!

    Pythonista is the essential app for Python on iOS. It is well-designed and works flawlessly. I have a number of scripts that I use every day, which should be impossible on iOS, but isn’t because of this terrific app. Highly recommended!

    (The app has all the essential libraries, including numpy and matplotlib, but sadly, no pandas, but maybe one day. Here's hoping, but no matter what, this is an astonishingly good app.)

  • Open in...

    This app would be amazing if it could open files from folder or google drive. Right now to “open” an external file I open it in notes and copy paste into pythonista. Hope you see this and consider adding the ability to “open in...” and select a file from Files

    Edit (Was 3 Stars)
    With the added Open in functionality pythonista is the best python app out there. Thanks for listening to the users!

  • This app is awesome!!

    Learned how to write a few programs on this, and have even incorporated what i have learned here at work. Used this to create an app for my daughter to learn to how to spell. This app will use the speech functions to ask her to spell a random word that she has to type in. Also used it to create a hilarious not so kid friendly app. 😆👍🏻

    If the creators could write the Netmiko and Paramiko modules in would make it even better.

  • Absolutely mind blowing capabilities

    Okay, it’s as good as everyone says. BUT I’ve seen some shallow reviews dogging it for a lack of VCS and some libraries not coming with it.

    The best thing about Pythonista is the github repo. Go check it out, take a look at the additional packages you can install there as well as scripts to learn the various libraries that aren’t as documented as some would like.

    Also, there IS VCS via Stash. Install Stash from the ptinstaller and boom, you have a full blown iOS terminal emulator. Complete with git.

    And if you want to transfer files, check out all the Dropbox options. I use synchronator as a repo and installed a 3.5 interpreter on my local machine to build my larger Pythonista projects.

    Seriously, get this app. OMZ should be proud.

  • Much more powerful than I expected!

    I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. The interface is easy to understand. Especially under the limitation of iOS system, it helps manage all files in a beautiful way. The console amazed me as well. I didn’t expect I can plot figure in this app, like working on linux server, but this app not only has this feature but also shows in a great result.
    It can’t be the major IDE for my work, but I can use it finish 80 to 90% of my job while traveling. Best IDE on App store!

  • Not a toy - this is a functional program!

    The joy of this tool is the libraries that come with it that you need to use the iPad features plus, including a simple GUI interface. It include several popular modules including numpy, requests, and beautify soup. Worth the price!

    I wish it included the full script stack, but I also want a pony and a flying car. There is enough here to build some really cool applications.

    I just keep becoming more and more impressed as I use this!

  • Everything one could want and way more

    These were the best 10$ i have spent in a while. I often use this over IDLE. I create scripts to do stuff, and can call it with just three taps. The typing is easy, and every complaint i have had with other environments are nowhere to be found. It has wonderful gui libraries and you can make surprisingly fast/high quality games. This is coming from someone who rarely uses python for anything more than generating giant switch statements for my other projects.
