### 1/5 — Does not work on my iPad iOS 10.3.2, keeps hanging

*2017-07-06*

Does not work on my iPad iOS 10.3.2, keeps hanging

### 1/5 — App is useless

*2017-04-24*

Tap on "compile", and app crashes. No response from developer.

### 1/5 — What compiler ?

*2016-03-18, version 2.0*

Does NOT compile on the iPad. Without an internet connection it is just a text editor. That was NOT mentioned anywhere. I am always travelling in my motorhome here in NZ, sometimes without network access. So it is useless under those conditions.
It sends your sketch to some remote server, then returns the hex code, if you request it. You can NOT use a library unless it is on the remote server. You can NOT write or add a library for your own project work. 
And I paid for it !!
An absolute waste of my time and money. Shameful.

### 1/5 — Does not compile

*2015-07-17, version 1.1*

Says its compiling in the cloud and to try back later. Says the same thing later. If it gives up on the example programs can't imagine what it would say to a more complex one. Email to developers still not answered after a few days.

### 1/5 — Total Junk

*2015-07-14*

Looked good after install. Went ahead & started entering a sketch. After around 20 lines it dumped me out to the Apple menu. Retried many times but won't get past their logo screen. Immediately dumps me out. Erased & reloaded twice but no help. Vendor does not reply to emails. Save your money on this one.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2020-07-03, version 6.0*

This does not recognise the most common libraries, so it is of little use, for an app that has been around for this long and costs so much this is really poor, it is of no real use with such limited features.

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2017-06-03, version 3.0*

Crashed a short while after downloading and linking to Dropbox. Now crashing every time within 2 seconds after launch. Developer website "frozen"... Not having fun and unable to get support.

### 4/5 — Good starting point

*2016-08-15, version 3.0*

So this is exactly what I wanted but like many things I was kind of hoping for more:

- the Dropbox link up is great but really it should be possible to select which folder to get the sketch from

- code formatting would be good. At present if the sketch has tabs in they seem to get lost

- whilst I can live without the code editor having syntax highlighting. These days that's pretty normal

- last suggestion would be to have the ability to have an area where libraries selected e.g. SPI etc.

Otherwise it's exactly what I wanted for the iPad so please keep developing it
