### 1/5 — This is NOT a CLP it’s a stupid game!

*2021-08-01*

I really thought it was as described & download for the reasons it stated. But it wouldn’t let you run even 1 applications it is a joke in all sense of the word. It wanted money for not doing what it was described to do& would not do. Stop the  false information so we don’t waste our time & have to be negative to you.

### 1/5 — A lot doesn’t work

*2021-02-20*

For example, I tried to use curl get, but I get an error message saying charset UTF-8 is unsupported, which is ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Amazing!!! But needs landscape

*2020-01-30*

This app is so cool but the only problem is I have an iPad and I neeeeeeeed landscape

### 3/5 — Landscape???

*2019-11-02*

Even if in the updated version: it says that landscape is now available: it does not work under IOS13: very unfortunate otherwiseit would be agreat program and I would sign up for the premium version.

### 3/5 — Neat app, needs landscape mode on iPad

*2017-11-01*

This app would easily score 4-5 stars, if it had a landscape mode on the iPad, it’s a pain to take it out of the case to use the keyboard.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-02-15*

Very useful
