  • Ruby on iPhone is easy

    Just installed and started writing Ruby code in seconds.
  • Awesome

    I don’t usually write reviews. But this app is AMAZING. I love the ability to create widgets with Ruby & test HTTP requests, etc. all from my iPhone! I highly recommend this app! Thank you to the Dev/Devs.
  • Useful but flawed

    First the good news. This app works. You can write & execute Ruby code on your iPad. That is useful. However: When you get an error, all you get is the error message (e.g. SyntaxError) you don’t get any information about where the error occurred forcing you into print debugging. Paste is broken so moving code about becomes an extreme chore. After you run the code the editor jumps to the end of the file. It’s also a bit erratic from time to time. Nothing I can pin down but odd completions, jumps, or inserted characters. The MRuby documentation doesn’t appear to be searchable for contain actual descriptions or examples of the methods listed. It would be nice to have a side-by-side mode.

    Good luck on a job
  • Glad it's there, few wishes

    I am so ridiculously glad this exists... I love working in Ruby over the other similar iOS/iPadOS extension frameworks with Lua, JavaScript or Python, even with the slightly limited standard library this app exposes.

    If I had to ask for anything, I'd like to see slight improvements to the editor like font face/size selection to make it easier to use.

  • Actually useful

    I love writing Ruby but was skeptical of what this app would be able to do. I'm blown away. Provides an opportunity for folks to play with Ruby wherever they are and actually provide value to power users for Shortcuts and Widgets. One of my favorite apps on my phone and iPad!
  • Incredible

    By far the best Ruby on iOS app I’ve seen. Frankly, I’m amazed at the Shortcuts and Widget integrations. Thank you for making this freely available!!
  • Ruby + Siri Shortcuts is powerful

    Ruby is a very power-packed, friendly, concise language, and this app brings it all to Siri Shortcuts. I’ve written so many 25+ step Siri Shortcuts that could be replaced with a few lines of Ruby — if I had only known of this app! It also makes the Ruby-writing experience very friendly, too. As a 15+ year Ruby dev and the writer of dozens of Siri Shortcuts, I think this application is a must-have.
