Insufficient compilations
As above
Lack of file system
Without the ability to read and write files the program is pretty useless
Input should not be required for “compile”
An input change should not require program to be recompiled... guessing it’s because the program is not actually executed via App, but instead “compile” uploads program and input(s) to server, then “run” requests server to execute code and brings back the outputs, etc. kinda hokie for what it’s sold as... but still neat. Not planning to pay for play, will be deleting app after this review.

Boooooooooooo

Please provide more details in your review.
Keep moving
I'm a novice, but couldn't get it to do a simple console program because gets doesn't work.
Response from developer
Please contact support and describe your problem.
Ridiculous pricing
In fact it is a paid app. It wants £1 per 100 compilations which is slightly over the top.
Response from developer
The best option to evaluate simple operations or programs on the go. You can also buy unlimited compilations.
Useless w/o in-app purchases
Absolutely unusable without purchasing "code executions" via in-app micro transactions.
Not paying $1 for every 100 executions...

Unfortunately, we can't offer free compilations. But you can buy unlimited package as well!
awesome
Thats a really good compiler, it works fine, but only minus is that you need to pay to compile. I would recommend developer to add 5 free compiling so people can test. Everything else is cool
I like being able to write Ruby code on a tablet
The programs are sent to a remote server for execution. This is both a restriction and an advantage. I don't have to maintain the interpreter on a server to use the product, but it isn't up to me to customize the installation to my liking, either.
Having to pay for compilations?
What's the point of programming? Compiling numerous times to test your theories. So don't make us pay for each one.
Response from developer
You can buy unlimited compilations and use the application as much as you want.
Definition of Greed
Charging $1.00 USD for 100 compilations is ridiculous. Remember that the only REPL is hitting "Run" (which is 1 compilation) so by the time you've finished your code, you've probably done 10-15 compilations just for that section of code. So a half hour's work (e.g. while traveling to work) could cost you 50 cents to a dollar. It's input system is another tab where you type in before you run the program. Terrible (I understand Apple puts restrictions but nobody forced you to charge for a flawed implementation). Plus it's slow. And they give you like 5 compilations for free I think, not enough to get a feel for it. At least refresh each day or limit by size.
Unlimited is $2. But is that worth it?

Worthless
There is nothing good to say about this. Nothing.
Response from developer
Can you explain your opinion please?
Not worth the money
It's not a compiler, just a link to a internet server that handles very simple code.
Garbageware
As others mentioned, it not only doesn't work offline but has a limited number of compilations. That means the software is broken. You don't get to put it out broken and call getting it work an "in-app purchase" like you're unlocking additional features, on top of providing no local functionality. This app is a ruse.

Can't handle even basic programs.
Has a pay wall that limits the amount of compilations it can do. Running basic programs takes a long time. Doesn't have offline access. Functionality is limited as I can't seem to get a gets command to work.
Response from developer
There is no low limit of compilations per day anymore.
not for offline use
Claims to be the great programming tool in the App Store. It's not. It doesn't have an internal Ruby interpreter, so it requires a network connection to use an online one. If you need to work offline and don't necessarily need Ruby, then the great programming tool I'd recommend is Pythonista.
Response from developer
It's great that users can write and execute their own Ruby programs on a mobile device!
Free version can not compile any new code
Have to buy credit for compilations.
Great App!
I am writing a compiler that targets many languages and this app is ideal for my purposes. Keep up the good work!
Too Slow
Ruby on my iPad would be awesome, but this tool can't even print a simple puts quickly. This app is really slow and I regret the $2 that I spent. Bummer, because I thought this would be great.
Response from developer
Please check your Internet connection if it works too slow for you.
Nice app but !!
I was looking for this app and I payed for unlimited compilation but some codes are not working like:
gets.chomp
Please fix this!
gets.chomp
Please fix this!
