Basically Unusable Without Subscription
Iโm assuming the implementation of R is good. Iโll never know to any meaningful extent because I canโt stand such intrusive ads.
Unskippable 45 second videos every couple times you run some code? No thanks.
Subscription only, no purchase? No thanks.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. Ads are shown after every 5 runs. All premium online services are subscription-only.
Actually not too bad.
Takes some time to get use to the app, but not too shabby for an iPad app. File save feature could be a little more robust and user friendly.
Still couldnโt get ggplot function to work, but honestly not really needed since I can use all the other plotting functions like matplot, scatterplots, etc.
Iโm revising my initial review up from 2 to 4โฆ

Hello. Ggplot should work. Please send us your codes to info@kappsmart.com so that we may better investigate into the matter.
I already paid for premium, why are you trying to charge me again?
I paid to unlock premium features. Now you want me to pay for a subscription? No thanks.

Hello, when was your purchase for premium made?
A functioning R environment on your iPhone
This app is awesome. I often find that I need to perform a quick analysis, and this is much faster and easier to play around with than going to get my laptop and firing it up.
Need to quickly provide a reality check on the significance of a ratio of two priorities during a meeting? This app has you covered. Want to explore generating randomly-generated time series data? Easy to start on your phone.
Itโs no substitute for RStudio and an in-depth analysis, but it works, itโs convenient, and you can trust the math.

Upgrade to Premium?
How does one upgrade to the premium version? Iโve looked on the free App and cannot find a way to upgrade to the one-year version. Please advise. Thank you.
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, the Settings screen appears to not have an upgrade option.
Please advise.

Great learning and practice tool
I am pretty amazed that this app exists and impressed with how smoothly it functions. It takes a moment to figure out how to access the file/folder structure. Again, you are using R ON YOUR PHONE, so I would just recommend to have some patience with a different UI experience. It comes with many useful packages installed, and plots generate quite quickly.
Personally I like to use it to test and practice code snippets with builtin datasets. I am trying to improve my Base R skills, and this is a great way to practice core syntax skills like subsetting and base plotting. Sometimes when you are working on a project you get an idea that you want to sketch out while you are out and about. I imagine this could also be useful for teaching purposes (i.e. casting examples/visuals to a screen) though I don't know why one wouldn't just use a laptop in that case. It's not what I would call convenient for writing amd executing long scripts, but I don't think that's the intended use case here. An imaginative teacher could probably come up with some great class activities with this if students were also to download the app.

Hands Down the Best iOS R App
There really isnโt any other app for running R code on an iOS device in the App Store. There are only three Iโd change: ability to install libraries from GitHub, the timeout period, and testing/running R shiny apps. And all of those Iโm sure are limitations of using a mobile app and are more nice to haves.

Annoying ads and not interactive
The joy of R is incremental data exploration. This just runs in batch mode and requires an internet connection so the server can execute your code. This app fails at the design concept level. Avoid.
Generally good app
The app is quite good - I have been able to do Bayesian statistics on an iPad using it, avoiding the need to carry a weighty laptop around.

Hello, Kindly upgrade to remove ads!
