## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2021-07-11, version 13.0*

Looks more like a Java compiler rather than a Groovy compiler, but how could I make a judgement when I need to pay to compile a program?

Waste of a download.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-08-21*

Only the example script runs.  Other syntactically valid scripts fail to compile and yield a vague and useless error message.  This app had *one* job.

**Developer response:** Please start from modifying the sample script. So you could understand differences between mobile and desktop compilers.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2013-11-22, version 4.3*

The input is no longer in monospaced font. I'll raise my rating once it is

**Developer response:** The size of screen of small mobile devices doesn't allow to use monospaced font with convenience. But you can use it with iPad.

### 1/5 — What's the point?

*2013-10-29, version 3.6*

I'm sure it doesn't cost them anything to allow us to compile, why make us pay for compilations? Do not download!

**Developer response:** We spend money for infrastructure to be able to provide users ability to compile programs from their mobile devices. So we can't provide this service for free.

### 1/5 — App is a steamy pile

*2013-03-19, version 2.0*

No user input allowed.  Very little capability

**Developer response:** You can enter all text input data on the Input screen before running a program.

### 2/5 — Not that useful

*2013-11-01*

I was looking for a mobile editor that I could write java with. I found this and downloaded it. I tested it with some java code and it was ok but it doesn't show the incorrect code! You can't run it without buying runs 100 for 69p or Unlimited for £1.99 that is crazy!!!!

**Developer response:** It doesn't show incorrect code but it can compile it!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-05-03, version 4.3*

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