Sync

I like this app but I can’t seem to get data to sync across my devices. I don’t know if this is an option.

Perfect for practicing my intro to programming class

So helpful to practice what I’m learning in class. Thanks also for not collecting my data! Just one question, where’s the tab button?

Great app to learn Java

It would be perfect if it could use external packages and library.

Is good, could be great

I think a find & replace feature would make this a sub above. otherwise, I'm lovin it.

Horrible don’t buy

Like an idiot I bought the pro version. This app is not finished and it does not have autocomplete anything. Wish I could get my money back.
