## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless

*2018-06-07, version 1.2*

Created a file with a simple one line put and it won’t run.  Even a simple edit to the default file it won’t compile and run.  I realize it’s only $2 but man I feel ripped off.

### 1/5 — Just Don't

*2012-11-03, version 1.1*

This feels like it was thrown together in an afternoon. You can't name your files. You don't even get an error list if your code isn't perfect. Don't waste your time or money on this, it should never have made it to the App Store.

### 1/5 — Missing basic features

*2012-09-06, version 1.1*

There are a lot of things they need to add, such as being able to name the file you are working on, and being able to run your code offline.

### 1/5 — Grrr.

*2012-08-22, version 1.1*

I'm a beginner trying to learn Ruby and this app makes me want to tear my hair out.  
1) Using a bluetooth keyboard, I can't use arrows.
2) No copy paste makes for even more frustrating editing.
3) .gets method does nothing
4) Save automatically names the file and doesn't allow me to rename it.  Pointless.
5) App support just takes me to the developer's website which doesn't provide any contact information.  In effect, there is no support.

### 1/5 — Suggestions..

*2012-08-17, version 1.1*

Need too much improvement in app such as
1) copy paste 
2) horizontally enable typing
3) text wrap
4) without Internet compilation of program 
5) email of code directly from app

### 1/5 — Not a stand alone app, it need internet access.

*2012-08-09, version 1.1*

Nowhere in the product description does is say that it requires and internet connection.  I don't like the idea of my code been sent out to be complied somewhere else and then send the results back to me.  

So keep that in mind when you think about buying it.

### 2/5 — Needs critical fixes but I'm rooting for it.

*2015-12-05, version 1.2*

Moving the cursor around doesn't work which basically means you need to write you script in one go. 
So, the app is essentially broken for me but I want it to work. 
Maybe it should be free for a bit until it can function?

### 3/5 — No paste?

*2012-07-31, version 1.0*

What ruby version is this?  Also, no paste is kind of a deal breaker.

### 3/5 — Good start, needs more

*2012-07-21, version 1.0*

I wasn't able to cut/paste, and would suggest that this facility be added ASAP.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-07-09, version 1.0*

I'm soooo glad to see this online, well worth the $2, if for no other reason than to support this project. Can't wait for updates! I hope we can get something like Python for iOS Eventually.

### 5/5 — Works great!

It's good to see something like this is finally out.
