User reviews

Ai

This program is amazing. I love being able to inspect my .py on the go! This plus Ai is a huge win.

Worthless

Useless on the iPad, both due to iOS security restrictions and do to incredibly poor, missing, or non-existent Pythonista documentation on how to actually develop anything on the iPad. Do not purchase if you want to do any real development work on the iPad (beyond 10-line programs).

Great app

I am loving using this app.

Add AI integration

This tool could greatly benefit if it had a built-in coding agent.

Excellent!

An incredibly helpful tool. I use it to practice small snippets of code when I’m laying on the couch or out somewhere. It’s great for reinforcing your learning when you’re away from the computer.

Also, the little snake in the app screenshots makes me happy.
