  • Definition of Greed

    Charging $1.00 USD for 100 compilations is ridiculous. Remember that the only REPL is hitting "Run" (which is 1 compilation) so by the time you've finished your code, you've probably done 10-15 compilations just for that section of code. So a half hour's work (e.g. while traveling to work) could cost you 50 cents to a dollar. It's input system is another tab where you type in before you run the program. Terrible (I understand Apple puts restrictions but nobody forced you to charge for a flawed implementation). Plus it's slow. And they give you like 5 compilations for free I think, not enough to get a feel for it. At least refresh each day or limit by size.

    Unlimited is $2. But is that worth it?

    Developer Response

    You can buy unlimited compilations and use the application as much as you want!
  • Worthless

    There is nothing good to say about this. Nothing.

    Developer Response

    Can you explain your opinion please?
  • Not worth the money

    It's not a compiler, just a link to a internet server that handles very simple code.
  • Garbageware

    As others mentioned, it not only doesn't work offline but has a limited number of compilations. That means the software is broken. You don't get to put it out broken and call getting it work an "in-app purchase" like you're unlocking additional features, on top of providing no local functionality. This app is a ruse.

  • Can't handle even basic programs.

    Has a pay wall that limits the amount of compilations it can do. Running basic programs takes a long time. Doesn't have offline access. Functionality is limited as I can't seem to get a gets command to work.

    Developer Response

    There is no low limit of compilations per day anymore.
  • not for offline use

    Claims to be the great programming tool in the App Store. It's not. It doesn't have an internal Ruby interpreter, so it requires a network connection to use an online one. If you need to work offline and don't necessarily need Ruby, then the great programming tool I'd recommend is Pythonista.

    Developer Response

    It's great that users can write and execute their own Ruby programs on a mobile device!
  • Free version can not compile any new code

    Have to buy credit for compilations.
  • Great App!

    I am writing a compiler that targets many languages and this app is ideal for my purposes. Keep up the good work!
  • Too Slow

    Ruby on my iPad would be awesome, but this tool can't even print a simple puts quickly. This app is really slow and I regret the $2 that I spent. Bummer, because I thought this would be great.

    Developer Response

    Please check your Internet connection if it works too slow for you.
  • Nice app but !!

    I was looking for this app and I payed for unlimited compilation but some codes are not working like:
    gets.chomp

    Please fix this!
