Doesn’t work anymore at all. Waste of money
After exhaustive trying I can confirm this app doesn’t work anymore, at all, it crashes instantly on first load no matter how many times you reinstall it.

/* I personally only review apps truthfully, and only if I believe that they really, REALLY deserve it. When I do, I try really hard to do them justice. This is the most effort I’ve ever put in. I spent a few days writing this review on and off throughout my first week of using this app and learning C# in order to properly convey how good it is. */
Genuinely wish there was a better way for me to show my respect than just 5 stars. It’s an incredible app that works flawlessly (My later gripes are just that, gripes, and aren’t functionality issues). The ability to code in C# OR F#, WITHOUT WIFI, ON AN IPAD! It even gives you the all the file types, templates, and the Console and IOS App options. I was shocked at how easy it was to follow along with C# tutorials taught on Visual Studios, even though I was using an iPad app, and I am so grateful for the different font options and dark mode. This is such a great thing to have. Worth the $20 if you want to learn C# or F#, code it on the go, or just like to have a portable option.
Please know that I have my gripes (doesn’t everyone), but I’m sure that there’s hope for a remedy, so here goes:
A) The “Show Code Completion” Setting is annoying.
It can be very frustrating when I type to declare a variable or class or something, hit ENTER to move to a new line, and then the Code Completion corrects my code to something I didn’t want instead. I am aware that there is a setting to turn off the Code Completion, and I’m not asking to remove it as an optional thing, however, every time I reopen the app after closing it, this is the only setting which doesn’t always stay how I left it. Regardless of how it was when I last closed the app, I can reopen Continuous any amount of time later (1 second, an hour, 12 hours) and it will be back in the on position, and I’d love it if you could fix that please.
B) The lines “KeyCode == Keys.——“ and “——_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)” (basically any key related code) don’t exist in the app as far as I can tell (And yes, this is when using the App.xaml.cs file type).
I understand that most users will not have a keyboard, but these lines should still be implemented in my opinion, as some do have a Bluetooth keyboard (myself included). It would also be nice if you could implement some kind of toggleable touchscreen keyboard/mouse under the watch window when fullscreened for those who don’t have a Bluetooth set.
C) I’d also love to see designated undo / redo buttons on the UI, as you can Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + ^ + Z, but they work rarely, and sometimes you just make a costly mistake in one click that you want to undo.
I apologise if this review was insulting or seemed negative. It wasn’t intended to be. I genuinely love this app, am hopeful for its future, and would love to see my suggestions implemented. I respect you fully and wish you the best.

Gets the job done I guess.
Honestly the only reason I’m using this PAID app is because on the iPad c# IED’s are few and far between. This app really doesn’t take advantage of being on the iPad at all switching between your programs feels clunky, there’s no auto complete to any basic syntax, little to no customization to be found. If you have no other choice and are invested in c# then it’s useable, but if you can use visual studio or anything else I’d recommend that.

Really good c# compiler
This is one of the most well designed c# compiler on mobile system. I use my iPad editing coding for my project. It really support a decent amount of c# library and feature. Most important thing to me is it support OOP features on separate script(classes). Which is rare for a mobile compiler.
Great but not amazing
I love using this app whenever i feel like coding, but sometimes when i run the code (even without auto-run) it for some reason runs the same command multiple times. I can definitely see this app blowing up and becoming a great app for coding, it just needs some bug fixes. Things i could suggest are: fix the code running bug i previously mentioned, let the user delete text when typing into a readline console, make a debugger, and maybe some better explanations for how different functions work within the app. I still love using this, I just think it needs some work to be done.

Great app, requires more flexibility
This app is fantastic, but I’m stuck trying to use NUnit. It's missing a method, maybe the dll/lib is broken, but I don’t quite know where to get or paste the latest NUnitLite library.
Almost amazing, ultimately frustrating
A C# IDE on my iPad for under $15 that lets me quickly edit and test pixel perfect Xamarin Forms xaml prototypes with no deployment overhead? Heck yeah!
The thing hard crashes every time I wrap MainPage in a NavigationPage or try to use a ViewCell written in code? Rough edges like an EntryPointNotFound exception that’ll never go away (but also doesn’t stop running my app)? Support that boils down to a self-help forum with no posts from the app author? Heck, yeah. It’s got those too.
If it were billed as a xaml-only UI mocking tool and didn’t try to do anything else, concentrating on doing that well (or just console logs and reads. really any subset of a full IDE), I’d be game. As is, it’s got Icarus Syndrome. It flew too close to the sun and ended up in the drink.
I am encouraged that it’s had a few recent-ish updates. I’m holding out some hope. It’s got so much potential, just waaaay too rough to say it’s followed through.

GOOD app but there’s two problems I have with
1. Compiler errors are off screen on iPhone
2. No template support (ie cw tab tab)
2. No template support (ie cw tab tab)
Use it Daily - Love it
Learning c# on the go has never been easier. It just works, and works almost as well as a full IDE which is awesome for learning or quickly coding and putting something together than you can export later.
Net core
You can create a .net core project but get an “ASP.NET Core servers are not supported, yet.” Error When running it?
