Leave a Review Processing & p5.js iCompiler
Absolutely terrific
This is a great app for quick cool processing and p5 sketches, i have a bunch of sketches on my phone, probably more than i have anywhere else, super great app i recommend it wholeheartedly!Mustafa MB3121
Buggy, Compiler feedback behind a paywall
I thought that with this app I could pun processing sketches created on the desktop version on my phone. I spent 4ish hours writing it only to find out that I cannot use this app.
For one, you can’t import an entire folder at once. You can’t even import multiple .pde files at once! I had to import each one individually and copy paste them back together.
Additionally, you have to pay to receive ANY feedback from the compiler. I completely understand the necessity for a paid version but you should at least be able to verify that your code works before paying. Without compiler feedback this is literally useless to program in. You cannot fix your code if the only error you are given is “Faulty code detected. Pay us to see where” I have no issue with the paid version and I would happily pay for it after I can make my code work but I can’t even do that
Thirdly, the code color highlighting is terrible. It highlights inside comments, and only highlighted “bool” out of a boolean declaration. Notepad++, free open source software does this just fine, as does every other text editor. Any IDE should be at least that good.
Lastly, the compiler seems overall buggy. Code written on Processing windows unchanged, does not run on this app. This program was nothing fancy. It only had 4 classes and did very little, but somewhere there is an error that I am completely unable to fix because I can’t see compiler feedback. I was really excited when I found this app and hope that I can use it how I intended. That is unfortunately impossible right now.Show lessawildschut
Pay to play - on processing?
Simple commands won’t run.
Dev want $$ to “debug” it.
In another review he literally told someone who complained to fix it themself.
Nice attitude. Typical German.plookmeister96
Excellent
I’ve used this for a few Processing sketches with p5js on my iPad Pro (with keyboard folio) and it works really well. My 3yo daughter loves watching and playing with some of the examples and code I’ve written too.
Exporting of projects just got added too, so I can shuffle off my code to my desktop for finishing off.Show lessZri
no documentation. nosupport.
some processing feature work.
many don't.
buying a subscription is no solution.
i feel ripped offMT Cabeza
No compiler messages LOL
Building this nice app and then not showing compiler errors is kind of hilarious. I feel like I’ve been trolled.nickname827477482
It’s good but 1 thing
Is there anyway that you could make this app convert Processing code to the New P5.js I think so many are having so much difficulties with trying to make code for the new P5 it would be really nice if you could maybe add something like that or something a little bit similar even to help people out with this 🙏🏻🥺Show lessRobo178
What?
So you have to pay to see any errors or feedback at all? I get it but I have 5 like lines of code just like any of the examples and it says it can’t run..And it’s a subscription? They really aren’t trying to hide the greed.SilvaVibes
meh!
I’m new to coding and while it’s nice to have an app where I can write and edit code, this app certainly doesn’t make it easy on me. It doesn’t display error messages, only the output, so when code doesn’t run it’s very difficult to find the source of the error. It doesn’t auto-indent and it doesn’t detect missing or extra brackets, so formatting is really difficult. sorry!Show lessschmeej
Glitched?
I started a canvas, and drew in it, it I can’t see the finished product, like I can’t see what I coded, I can only see the code, even when I click the play button.Im Alex.
