### 3/5 — What happened to pip?

*2026-07-05, version 3.4*

Tying to load gTTY text to speech library, no way to do it.

### 4/5 — I found a bug in your code

*2026-07-01, version 3.4*

It’s <div> when you run html cuz it makes the page unrunable, i dont know if it happened to other people or not tho but can you fix it pls

### 4/5 — Novice User Of Pythonista On iPad

*2026-06-18, version 3.4*

Excellent for learning rudimentary Python. But, bit of a semi-steep learning curve for this newbie to learn most of basic features in Pythonista’s IDE, keyboard, and GUI. Otherwise, terrific.

### 3/5 — Great but crashes lately

*2026-06-17, version 3.4*

Have been using for years. Over the last month or so it crashes when reactivating. Maybe it needs an update.

### 3/5 — Frequent crashing

*2026-03-24, version 3.4*

In iOS 26 every other time I open the app it will crash.

### 3/5 — Good but needs bug fixes

*2026-03-24, version 3.4*

Took me only 4 days of learning to code to find a bug.  Print(f”””multi-line text”””) color formatting bug. If I can find one this quickly, I’m sure there are plenty of other bugs, and updating to 3.14 wouldn’t be terrible either.

### 2/5 — no way to use Ed25519

*2026-03-22, version 3.4*

i guess it's ok for a lot of things but connecting to remote machines with paramiko is not one of them unless you want to use rsa. why use pythonista instead of a terminal app? to wrap the script in a shortcut...

### 5/5 — Excelente!!

*2026-03-11*

Perfeito para meus estudos!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-02-23, version 3.4*

I’m in love with this app

### 5/5 — ML Developer

*2026-02-02, version 3.4*

This is a fantastic app.  I have been able to do a lot of work on my iPhone and iPad with it.  It's reasonably intuitive to find tools and negotiate it to accomplish real goals.  I would absolutely love to have some more libraries supported or at least have the ability to add them ourselves with pip.  If I run out of space, I'd like that to be my concern :). Nice product folks.  More expansively would be a huge delight.  I bought it years ago, would pay a reasonable fee to get significantly enhanced capabilities.  Not sure if PyTorch could fit on my 16 ProMax but I'd love to give it a try 🙏😁 I'll buy a new iPad if that's what it takes.

### 5/5 — Sick

*2026-01-31, version 3.4*

Rad AF boi

### 2/5 — Beware of significant limitations

*2026-01-27, version 3.4*

This app will not produce interactive plots in a separate window. Instead, it will produce only a static plot in line with the console. Also beware that the app uses an older outdated version of Matplotlib. If you’re transferring a python script that you originally wrote on a desktop system, you may be in for a rude surprise.

### 4/5 — Great

*2026-01-20, version 3.4*

The only reason I’m reading this for stars is because you should update more But overall, this is my most used app

### 5/5 — Premium Choice

*2026-01-14, version 3.4*

Back into Python and highly satisfied with choice of options including StaSh implementation for a bash terminal.

### 5/5 — Python in mobile

*2026-01-06*

A true MUST for python programmers, and it’s well maintained too. 10/10, no complaints.

### 2/5 — Lacks critical functions

*2025-12-19, version 3.4*

It’s good for small scripts, but lacks features to write larger scripts; no line numbers, no search and replace.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-09-03, version 3.4*

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).

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it

*2026-06-10, version 3.4*

It said this app would work on my iPad Air 12.5.8 but after I purchased and downloaded it didn’t work at all. This app developer last update was two years ago!

### 1/5 — Confusing not worth the money

*2026-02-01, version 3.4*

No clue how to navigate this system, don’t waste your time or money

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-01-09, version 3.4*

It capitalizes words written with pencil. When in python you need automatic capitalization

### 1/5 — Bugado

*2025-11-15*

Eu tenho um escript grande mais as vezes eu saio e quando tento entrar no app ele não abre e sai sozinho

### 1/5 — Does not integrate well with shortcuts

*2025-11-01, version 3.4*

Very annoyed I have spend $15 & many hours & it just doesn’t integrate

### 1/5 — Not friendly to the novice

*2025-09-17, version 3.4*

I purchased this app for only one reason: to run SymPy on my iPad. I’m not an experienced Python programmer. I could not accomplish this task, trying to import the library from the console.

Given that this is an app for an iOS device it’s a shame that there isn’t more focus on or documentation concerning simple, glitch free startup. Probably someone with an extensive Python background could figure it out, but I don’t have that skillset.

### 1/5 — iOS 18.5 で強制終了

*2025-07-21*

iPhone 16 pro, iOS18.5の環境で、スクリプトでprintの後に()括弧をいれると強制終了になります

### 1/5 — アプリがすぐ落ちる

*2025-07-20*

すぐアプリが落ちる改善されない限り買うべきではない

### 1/5 — Unsubscribe me

*2025-06-30, version 3.4*

Don’t know where to unsubscribe

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-29, version 3.4*

I am loving using this app.

### 5/5 — Add AI integration

*2026-08-11, version 3.4*

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

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2026-07-29, version 3.4*

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.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2026-07-23, version 3.4*

I can’t get shortcuts or widgets to show up at all, but besides that the IDE is everything you could ask for and more. Best money I’ve spent on here yet.

### 5/5 — This is very well done

*2026-06-28, version 3.4*

I have to say this is so strong that getting through things as I start writing on iOS has been easier than I thought.  There are many scripts I can immediately import and run.  Graphics need a little help but still quite amazing.

### 5/5 — good

*2026-05-26, version 3.4*

should the developer update this app to the newest python version?

### 5/5 — super, um iOS apps für sich zu machen

*2026-04-25*

mit KI wird pythonista zum powertool. die ki achreibt ein skriot für pythonista, zb das normale chatGPt, und 10 minuten später läuft es auf dem handy.
Fehlt noch die Option, daraus per Knopfdruck eine verteilbare iOS App zu machen.

### 5/5 — The best Python IDE ever made.

*2026-04-11, version 3.4*

Not much more to say about it.

### 5/5 — GREATEST PROGRAMMING APP! EVER!!!!

*2026-03-17, version 3.4*

“Next-Level Arcade Gaming! 🎮🚀”WARP PROTOCOL is unlike any mobile game I’ve played before. Built using the Atlas Nexus engine, this game pushes Pythonista 3 to its absolute limits. With a gravity-defying tap-to-survive mechanic, stunning visuals across Neon, Void, and Golden Bull sectors, and an OST that perfectly syncs with the action, it’s truly immersive.
The challenge ramps up as gravity inverts, and collectible shards like 🟦 SHIELD and 🟪 HEALTH keep you in the fight. Think you can survive long enough to unlock BULL MODE? 🐂🔥
