### 1/5 — RIP ipyde

*2024-04-28*

New version is broken in many ways.

Existing scripts don’t run, not just because of switch to python 3, but runner is broken.

Can’t figure out the cryptic new UI, and no documentation, so could not edit files to debug.

Final insult is that it switches to a pay screen after a few uses, and “Restore” button doesn’t work.

Link to customer support is broken. 

A pity, would be fine with paying to have the old functionality back.

### 4/5 — Great except input

*2022-09-26, version 1.1.1*

Exactly what I needed to get me coding instead of playing games on my phone. I was having some trouble with input() where the only input that wouldn’t error is numbers, but figured out that ‘’ (two single quotes) also works and is distinguishable from the numbers. Now I can ask for input, with the specific instructions that ‘’ means no and any numeral means no.

### 2/5 — You guys can’t implement a tab button?

*2022-07-03*

Do I really need to hit the space bar 4 times every time?

### 5/5 — Modules

*2022-03-09*

The app is great and all, but can I use modules and if I can, what are they?

### 2/5 — Good enough, unreliable

*2022-01-14*

I had just finished writing my (thankfully simple) program. I decided it was worth the 99 cents to finally upgrade, cancelled momentarily bc i didnt want to get up for my card. I reopen the app and my program isnt opening

### 4/5 — Actually Pretty Decent! 👍

*2021-06-09*

It runs offline, which is good. It also runs properly! It just needs a way to make the Output Screen bigger than just half the page 
I would recommend tho!
👍👍👍🐉

### 2/5 — App is fine, the purchase is not

*2021-03-31*

The app itself works fine and is useful. What I have an issue with is the .99 cents to unlock all features that doesn’t actually unlock anything at all. That part feels like a scam, don’t bother.

### 4/5 — Pretty good!

*2020-11-30*

I love this app I think it would be especially useful to beggars and even expert developers! There is only two thing that I will warn you on, do NOT buy the 0.99 get more thing it does not do anything. The second thing, if your a beginner coder make sure you add .py to the end of you file names otherwise the go bye. ;)

### 3/5 — What we get for paying

*2020-09-08*

Aloha

I paid for the full unlock. What does it do and can I please make my python screen dark.

### 4/5 — Pip Install

*2020-03-28, version 1.1.1*

I like the app. I've been using this for quite some time now. I believe adding the ability to download a new module for the users that paid. I'm not fully aware of what I'm paying for anyway. I would like the ability to browse through folders on my phone instead of a standalone directory. Meaning, save the file to OneDrive, etc. I would like it if the app was capable of creating folders instead because I have to download copy and paste every file of every module that isn't on this app.
