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.

Decent for the only real Java compiler out there

So this compiler seems to be the only real one out there for the iPad. However, it doesn't have the ability to change file or project names, it doesn't allow undo, its tab space is 2 spaces, and its font is not monospace. Ultimately, I'm using it because I need to learn Java and don't have a functioning computer, but still, it would be nice if they would add more basic features.

Imagine you can’t copy and paste

Literally. Why isn’t importing projects even an option even on pro version?

Can’t import projects

So you can create projects but can’t import files or folders ..?? Literally useless app

Please read

It would be a great app if you did not have to pay for it. Please do not use false advertising as it is advertised as free

How to refund?

Bought pro thought it would be great for iPad coding. Makes no difference not even match the free peer compilers. Wasted 2 pounds . Demand a refund!

Misleading

Why have a free version if you can’t even test your own code?
Was really looking forward to seeing what this app could do, but I’m not going to consider buying now because I have no clue what I can and can not program on this app.

Good, but indentations are too small

Pls update

Deleted almost right away after finding it's an app that's a brick on my device.

Downloaded this app to learn. This app is a waste of space on your device unless you pay for it. Advertised as a free app, but it won't let me even make a project or modify any of the pre-made scripts on the app. Everything I've click on the app comes up with a message saying I can't access that unless I have the pro, which is there top price for the app

The worst compiler

Can't right a single letter without paying $2. Nice marketing

not bad!

Projects and files name cannot be edited.
Projects and files cannot be arranged.

Excellent lightweight Java IDE

Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for to test simple Java code. Java GUI is not supported but I don’t think that would be possible on IOS?

Pointless

There’s is absolutely no point in this app because to modify it you require to pro version, which costs $2.99.

Not free in any way, shape, or form.

I was looking for free.

Incredible

Best programming app for Java that is out on the App Store. If you’re a programming student, its worth the $2.99 for the Pro 9 version. Does everything a regular desktop program does!

Works but I can't see variable names

I wrote a simple program with for loop printing numbers but I couldn’t see the loop index. I’ll try to repeat it here:

for (int thisIsMyForLoopsForLoopIndexVariableButWithShortVariableName_HeyThisIsJavaAfterall;

See, I had to give up at first semicolon due to screen being too narrow for even the shortest of Java variant names.
