### 2/5 — Bug

*2025-09-14*

A nice app indeed, but due to the limited display space, it's only useful on the iPad. However, there's one problem: if you click the "I" button to save in the file manager, the program crashes, making the app unusable. You can copy the code and send it via email, but then you'll end up with a bunch of character formatting errors. Please fix this bug, please... :) iPadOS 18.6.2

### 4/5 — C  version

*2025-04-23, version 1.5*

Description confirms v11 support, however, when I try to use v10 features, IDE says C# is only v9, and those features are not available. Otherwise it is a great tool for education.

### 4/5 — Great app, requires more flexibility

*2022-04-27, version 1.4*

This app is fantastic, but I’m stuck trying to use NUnit. It's missing a method, maybe the dll/lib is broken, but I don’t quite know where to get or paste the latest NUnitLite library.

### 3/5 — Almost amazing, ultimately frustrating

*2021-10-30, version 1.4*

A C# IDE on my iPad for under $15 that lets me quickly edit and test pixel perfect Xamarin Forms xaml prototypes with no deployment overhead? Heck yeah! 

 The thing hard crashes every time I wrap MainPage in a NavigationPage or try to use a ViewCell written in code? Rough edges like an EntryPointNotFound exception that’ll never go away (but also doesn’t stop running my app)? Support that boils down to a self-help forum with no posts from the app author? Heck, yeah. It’s got those too. 

 If it were billed as a xaml-only UI mocking tool and didn’t try to do anything else, concentrating on doing that well (or just console logs and reads. really any subset of a full IDE), I’d be game. As is, it’s got Icarus Syndrome. It flew too close to the sun and ended up in the drink. 

 I am encouraged that it’s had a few recent-ish updates. I’m holding out some hope. It’s got so much potential, just waaaay too rough to say it’s followed through.

### 4/5 — C 을 하기에 좋은데…

*2021-06-25*

생각보다 많이 로딩, 멈춤현상이 많이 발생이 되는 것 같습니다. 
조금 작성을 하다가보면 아예 글이 입력이 되지 않던지 
앱이 작동하지 않습니다. ㅠㅠ 

개선이 조금 필요하다고 생각이 듭니다. 

기대를 했는데 자주(너무 자주) 멈추는 현상이 일어나 
작업에 상당한 부분이 문제가 발생이 되더라고요 ㅠㅠ 
사무실에서 나와 작업을 할때 필요해서 앱을 구매를 했는데 
그만한 역할을 하지 못하는 것 같습니다. ㅠㅠ 

하지만 앱의 기능이나 C#에서는 강한 앱이라고 생각이 듭니다.

### 4/5 — GOOD app but there’s two problems I have with

*2021-06-14, version 1.4*

1. Compiler errors are off screen on iPhone 

2. No template support (ie cw tab tab)

### 2/5 — Net core

*2021-03-16, version 1.4*

You can create a .net core project but get an “ASP.NET Core servers are not supported, yet.” Error When running it?

### 3/5 — Please add debug mode

*2021-02-20*

Watch window Is not shows local variables and private fields. Need debug mode! Where is line numbers? Why custom delegates generate Null reference? In code completion very need generics types. Extension methods completion  ?
In general  it is cool app ;) but needs in little bit improvement

### 4/5 — 凄い良いんだけど

*2020-12-27*

直感的にUIが作れるようにして欲しい、ButtonとかLabelとかをxamlに入力するのが少し手間になってしまっている

It is a good idea to enter buttons and labels in xaml so that you can create an intuitive UI.

### 3/5 — Something that has to be fixed

*2020-11-19, version 1.4*

I REALLY love this app.

I would love to see it go further.

So Here are some things that must be fixed:

1. Backspace does not work in the console.

Some optional things that i would love to see:

Cannot change the font size of the console.
One can always enter text into the console even when there is no prompt.
When one uses the app horizontally it splits the screen making it really annoying on iPhone.
Would love to see a bash terminal built into the app allowing for massive potential, e.g, working with Git and GitHub, Nuget plugins and it just makes sense as it is how we do it on the computer.
Line numbers would be great.
Collapsible objects in the code editor would be great also.

Thank you very much, hopefully i’ll see these in the next realease 👍

### 4/5 — Okay but buggy

*2020-11-10, version 1.4*

Good so far but can't erase text when typing into readline console Input and when holding backspace to delete large sections app freezes up and crashes. Have to slowly delete char by char.

### 3/5 — I absolutely love this IDE!!! But there are some issues...

*2020-07-09, version 1.3*

I love the IDE and it’s making it extremely easy to learn C#. However, the lack of an offline Doc built into the app really kills it for me. Dash has saved me there but it’s still aggravating.

Another thing is that it would definitely improve the experience if we were able to access our files from the “files” app, so that we would be easily able to move our projects/apps from our main computer/examples we download from the internet without having to copy them over file...by....file. Of which it doesn’t even allow you to add .csproj files or even other file types that are available in the IDE itself. Only .cs files.

Aside from those this is very much a solid IDE for learning C# and F# as well as application development with the Xamarin codebase.

### 5/5 — Developer updates the app

*2020-05-16*

Every year or two developer actually updates the app, so stick around boys

### 5/5 — Wow! I’ve been waiting for this a long time

*2020-02-05, version 1.2*

I tried a few aspects and it allows you to create a solution with projects. It looks like it compiles locally and FAST and allows for gui projects as well as console apps. This is hands down the best coding app for C# on the iphone and I’ve tried a few. No more just snippets coding.

### 1/5 — No custom delegates means useless.

*2024-05-17, version 1.5*

I guess you have to waste your money to find out you can’t have custom delegates. Maybe I am missing something but the code from Visual Studio doesn’t work unless you use EventHandler.

Useless. Money wasted.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore at all. Waste of money

*2023-10-04, version 1.4*

After exhaustive trying I can confirm this app doesn’t work anymore, at all, it crashes instantly on first load no matter how many times you reinstall it.

### 1/5 — Gets the job done I guess.

*2022-08-28, version 1.4*

Honestly the only reason I’m using this PAID app is because on the iPad c# IED’s are few and far between. This app really doesn’t take advantage of being on the iPad at all switching between your programs feels clunky, there’s no auto complete to any basic syntax, little to no customization to be found. If you have no other choice and are invested in c# then it’s useable, but if you can use visual studio or anything else I’d recommend that.

### 1/5 — Support is dead!

*2021-06-07*

I have some issues with the F# projects - but the support never answered.
It’s a pity because this is a paid application and they display on the website that they provide support.
😡

### 1/5 — Ужасно! Не рекомендую!

*2021-03-26*

Верните деньги! ЭТО не стоит того. Одна лишь функция постоянного авто билда программы в момент написания просто убивает....какой в ней смысл? Программа висит постоянно пытаясь сделать билд НЕ готового кода, потому что я его пишу и смысла нету пытаться что либо проверять!!!! Ясное дело что будут ошибки. Убрал в конце скрипта одну из {, так все повисло на 20 секунд в попытках построить билд, ну не бред ли? Я и сам знаю, что работать не будет, я сам запущу когда нужно и пусть выдаёт ошибки тогда.
Просьба не путать с бесполезной опцией auto run, ее отключение не отключает построения билда каждую секунду после любого редактирования, что влечёт за собой тормоза программы, тк она утыкается на ошибках, которые очевидно будут в недописанной коде!
Требую возврата средств! Разочарован!

### 1/5 — Console.Readline ?

*2020-09-11*

Why console readline is not working?

**Developer response:** Thank you for the suggestion, I didn't realize this would be a useful feature. I'll try to get it into a future update.

### 1/5 — Abandoned by dev

*2019-11-04, version 1.2*

Taking a course on variables, can’t even run a simple console window that functions.  When I run the following code pasted below, on my pc... using VB, it allows me to type in my name in the console window to test it out.

Can’t do that here with this worthless IDE.  Lazy dev here was more interested in making look pretty with a cute UI. 

If there was passion behind this then why..  

1) Doesn’t allow me to do something as simple as typing into the console window when hitting play to test my course variables, very simplistic stuff.  App totally disregards my inputs in console window.

2) I can’t even complete my course studies on here because of this trash dev abandonment. 

3) Dear programming student, hobbyist.. go check online for a compiler on there. This dev, abandoned Continous. 

4) No update in 7 months. These are old reviews, when this worthless IDE, was supposedly, the thing to use. (Probably this trash dev’s forum buddies) he’s supposed to be someone respected and important on there- suure. Anyways, that group looked out, bought his stuff and threw praise. Fake. 

Basically...
If you cannot do something as simple as study on here to get better - I doubt the uses for this IDE in regards to real world uses/productivity.

This dev is lazy and hides in silence, so it is, what it is. 

Hopefully someone comes along releases superior product and forces this trash along with its lazy creator - to permanently... disappear. 

 Yup - I’m upset, this filth cut into my studying my time, I spent hours thinking it was me messing up, so I spent along time trying to figure out what I did wrong. Until I found out, it’s this trash dev app. Time I will never get back. 

Bottomline = trash dev, I look forward to him disappearing from the App Store. 
  

 

namespace Variables

    public class App

            int x;
            int y;
            
            x = 7;
            y = x + 3;
            
            Console.WriteLine(y);
            Console.ReadLine();
            */
            
            Console.WriteLine("What is your name?");
            Console.Write("Type your first name: ");
            string myFirstName;
            myFirstName = Console.ReadLine();
            
            string myLastName;
            Console.Write("Type your last name: ");
            myLastName = Console.ReadLine();
            
            Console.WriteLine("Hello, " + myFirstName + " " + myLastName);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

### 1/5 — Console.Readline() doesn’t work

*2019-06-30, version 1.2*

Console.ReadLine() doesn’t work...

### 1/5 — Good IDE provider, critical flaw

*2018-11-19, version 1.2*

This app has really nice code completion and all that, the best of the best. It’s an almost perfect IDE, however it suffers from one critical flaw - it does not support the iOS Files app.

This is unfortunate, since apps like “Working Copy” don’t see the modified files and therefore you can’t commit the modifications :(

Would like to see this fixed in a future update, and will change my rating to 5*!

### 1/5 — Abandoned?

*2018-06-19*

Too bad, the idea was good. However, the developer seems to have lost interest. No response to support requests...no updates...

### 5/5 — Very Useful IDE

*2025-08-26, version 1.5.1*

Working on the phone with any IDE can be difficult but this app does very well and it is at this writing close to the current C# version so it isn’t vaporware. Lagging one or two versions in my view is acceptable.

### 5/5 — Update for iPadOS 17

*2023-10-14*

Very good app, but needs an update to run with newest iOS/iPadOS version. iOS 17 seems to completely remove the NewsstandKit framework. This is problematic for apps that happen to link with the NewsstandKit framework (they crash at launch).

Update:
Thank you for this update, now it works with iPadOS 17. Plus an upgrade to C# 11. This is my favorite coding app on my iPad.

### 5/5 — Please Read (Dear Krueger Systems, Inc)

*2022-11-12, version 1.4*

/* I personally only review apps truthfully, and only if I believe that they really, REALLY deserve it. When I do, I try really hard to do them justice. This is the most effort I’ve ever put in. I spent a few days writing this review on and off throughout my first week of using this app and learning C# in order to properly convey how good it is. */

 

Genuinely wish there was a better way for me to show my respect than just 5 stars. It’s an incredible app that works flawlessly (My later gripes are just that, gripes, and aren’t functionality issues). The ability to code in C# OR F#, WITHOUT WIFI, ON AN IPAD! It even gives you the all the file types, templates, and the Console and IOS App options. I was shocked at how easy it was to follow along with C# tutorials taught on Visual Studios, even though I was using an iPad app, and I am so grateful for the different font options and dark mode. This is such a great thing to have. Worth the $20 if you want to learn C# or F#, code it on the go, or just like to have a portable option. 

 

Please know that I have my gripes (doesn’t everyone), but I’m sure that there’s hope for a remedy, so here goes:

 

A) The “Show Code Completion” Setting is annoying. 

It can be very frustrating when I type to declare a variable or class or something, hit ENTER to move to a new line, and then the Code Completion corrects my code to something I didn’t want instead. I am aware that there is a setting to turn off the Code Completion, and I’m not asking to remove it as an optional thing, however, every time I reopen the app after closing it, this is the only setting which doesn’t always stay how I left it. Regardless of how it was when I last closed the app, I can reopen Continuous any amount of time later (1 second, an hour, 12 hours) and it will be back in the on position, and I’d love it if you could fix that please.

 

B) The lines “KeyCode == Keys.——“  and “——_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)” (basically any key related code) don’t exist in the app as far as I can tell (And yes, this is when using the App.xaml.cs file type).

I understand that most users will not have a keyboard, but these lines should still be implemented in my opinion, as some do have a Bluetooth keyboard (myself included). It would also be nice if you could implement some kind of toggleable touchscreen keyboard/mouse under the watch window when fullscreened for those who don’t have a Bluetooth set.

 

C) I’d also love to see designated undo / redo buttons on the UI, as you can Ctrl + Z and   Ctrl + ^ + Z, but they work rarely, and sometimes you just make a costly mistake in one click that you want to undo.

 

I apologise if this review was insulting or seemed negative. It wasn’t intended to be. I genuinely love this app, am hopeful for its future, and would love to see my suggestions implemented. I respect you fully and wish you the best.

### 5/5 — Really good c  compiler

*2022-07-30, version 1.4*

This is one of the most well designed c# compiler on mobile system. I use my iPad editing coding for my project. It really support a decent amount of c# library and feature. Most important thing to me is it support OOP features on separate script(classes). Which is rare for a mobile compiler.

### 5/5 — Great but not amazing

*2022-06-06, version 1.4*

I love using this app whenever i feel like coding, but sometimes when i run the code (even without auto-run) it for some reason runs the same command multiple times. I can definitely see this app blowing up and becoming a great app for coding, it just needs some bug fixes. Things i could suggest are: fix the code running bug i previously mentioned, let the user delete text when typing into a readline console, make a debugger, and maybe some better explanations for how different functions work within the app. I still love using this, I just think it needs some work to be done.

### 5/5 — Use it Daily - Love it

*2021-05-07, version 1.4*

Learning c# on the go has never been easier. It just works, and works almost as well as a full IDE which is awesome for learning or quickly coding and putting something together than you can export later.

### 5/5 — complex type

*2020-11-13*

Please check the operation of the "join" operator for complex type usage in the intersection

### 5/5 — Смените название

*2020-10-16*

Отличное приложение для тех кто любит C#. Странно что про него никто не знает, вы хоть переименуйте приложение, чтоб поиском можно было найти

### 5/5 — it keeps giving

*2020-10-13, version 1.4*

now you add .netcore. yeah this is my fav ide on the go for c#. thank you!

just tried it. very. very. good.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-05-30, version 1.3*

Like seriously the ability to program on the go in c# with an application that feels as native and intuitive as the phone app is so awesome.
