### 1/5 — Can’t use it like laptop

*2025-05-22*

Laptop is better

### 1/5 — Don’t download this.

*2025-02-15, version 2.0.3*

Doesn’t work with new iOS. Poor functionality for iPhone. Hasn’t been updated in 3 years. Please don’t waste your money like i did.

### 1/5 — Not worth it- there is always free alternatives

*2024-11-13*

It's an ad for 59 cents

### 4/5 — Good but runtime disconnects

*2024-10-11*

Everytime the phone locks, the runtime on colab disconnects, making longer processes impossible. If this works out, this will be a killer app.

### 2/5 — There’s ads on a paid app!

*2024-08-26, version 2.0.3*

The description really needs updating to mention there’s ads on this.

### 1/5 — Useless on iPad

*2024-02-24*

Paid, but no good than opening notebooks in Safari, plus huge Ad banner..

### 1/5 — I was expecting improvement but ….

*2024-02-13, version 2.0.3*

Waste of money in both apps. Barely works. Keeps crashing all the time. This lite version is a scam, I paid and the only thing works is ads.

### 1/5 — Paid and bought just for default ios keyboard but not available

*2023-12-02*

Paid and bought just for default ios keyboard but not available keyboard icon in cells should vanish as for this price and the auto zoom function on cell input should be terminated.
Planned to buy the pro version but uselessness seems to follow that too

### 2/5 — Paid adware?

*2023-08-10*

Looks nice but was very disappointed to see ads being included in a app that I paid for. Yes the app is very cheap but I feel that it was not clear that ads were going to be included.

As soon as I saw the ad banner I requested a refund. I’ll just stick to using my laptop for google colab.

### 1/5 — Totally a trash

*2023-06-08, version 2.0.3*

Try to create a new notebook. A message pop up in the bottom with a link saying if the new notebook isn’t open, you should click the link. Guess what? The link is not accessible …. Blocked by a banner…. It’s totally a joke.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.3 — 2021-02-21

Prevents banner ad from covering content when keyboard appears. Ads now hide themselves behind the keyboard when the user is typing. Note that purchasing Programming Notebook PRO removes ads entirely. Also, added an extras page and users can now decide to never show popup alerts again. Finally, a launch screen was added.

### 2.0.0 — 2021-02-20

Interface updates. Also added demo of the PRO version.

### 1.300 — 2020-07-06

This is the final major improvement to the free version of Programming Notebook. All major further improvements will be applied solely to Programming Notebook PRO, which may be purchased for $0.99 on the app store. This version of the application, however, is fully functional. Any future updates to the free version will likely be bug fixes and interface improvements. In this version, we've removed the TensorFlow tab (the last version only included it as a sneak-peek of the PRO version). We have, however, added the following tabs: "Tips/Help", which aids the user in using the application, and "PRO Preview", which tells free users about the features of PRO. In addition, several bugs of the "Contact Me" page have been resolved, and interface improvements have been implemented such that the app is now fully functional with dark mode.

### 1.294 — 2020-07-03

New tab notifying the user of the brand new PRO version of this application. Fixed bugs on the Contact Me page, as well.

### 1.26 — 2020-07-01

A few more steps were taken towards full-dark mode compatibility. The beta version of the additional websites feature has been added, with a few known bugs. However, there are workarounds for these temporarily. If one does not want to deal with these bugs at the moment, they can simply continue to use the app as they did before, for all new bugs reside within the newer features of this version, not prior versions. Also, changed the opacity of the tab bar to 1.0. Most importantly, fixed a bug causing many users to be unable to access multiple pages simultaneously due to an unwanted automatic reset of the current page when changing tabs. Fixed poor performance and high battery usage issues, as well as reimplemented the hiding of both the home bar and status bar.
