### 3/5 — Commandline argument

*2022-09-02*

How can I give command line arguments?

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2020-04-05*

Run this code snippet in the editor and see what happens

a = ("sololearm"..."zzzzzzzzz").to_enum
p a.next.next

### 3/5 — The best there is

*2018-03-06*

The UI is ugly and the translation is bad, but it works, and there’s nothing better available.

### 5/5 — 不错

*2016-11-24*

界面很清新，感觉很不错

### 2/5 — Adequate but Great Example of 0 UX

*2016-01-29*

This provides for writing, building, and running both interactive and non-interactive Ruby programs all on an iOS device. The UI is terrible but it is usable enough ...until someone fills this market area with a product that does same with a properly done user interface.

This is a great example of developers who think they know enough to make apps that are usable by human beings without actually learning and then applying even the already there to be used without taking a course simple guidelines from Apple re apps. This UI is a MESS.

### 4/5 — Happy

*2016-01-26, version 2.8*

It's a nice app and I'm happy for its functionality. But I knocked off one star because it is a bit confusing.

### 5/5 — 评论才能执行吗

*2016-01-23*

听说评论才能执行 试试看

### 5/5 — Love it!! Very nice!

*2016-01-14, version 2.8*

Works great and haven't run into any unexpected problems!!!

### 3/5 — Good stuff

*2016-01-12, version 2.8*

Pretty good overall, great for working out ideas and short programs. 

The UI could use a lot of work - confusing elements, odd layout, too many menu options, and weird tab navigation

### 5/5 — Nice taste

*2015-12-23, version 2.8*

Good place to muck about and have a taste of the whole enchilada.

### 5/5 — 10 / 10

*2015-11-08*

Отличное приложение!

### 5/5 — Neat Ruby environment with a tutorial

*2015-10-29, version 2.8*

Nice environment for playing around and learning Ruby basics.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-09-20, version 2.7*

Love this app

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Too confusing

*2019-09-07*

There are several clone apps on the store by the same author and another (rubi ide fresh edition by Na Chen) with same functionality but different price model or slightly different look - why is apple allowing this nonsense. The app is cluttered with crazy stuff like coins etc and is not intuitive. The author should look to play.js app to see how to present a professional looking and respectful developer environment.

### 1/5 — Dislike

*2016-09-04*

This app is a toy. It does not have mono spaced font where it matters, it is full of eye candy, bugs, and is quite slow.

### 1/5 — poor UI and translation

*2015-03-21, version 2.5*

I haven't used Rubyi enough to give a proper review of its technical aspects. However, I can say that the user interface is horrible. It's too flashy, cutesy, and counterintuitive. The English translation is very, very poor to the point of being a distraction. The author should see another similar app, Pythonista, for an example of a much better (and very professional) UI.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2014-11-21, version 2.2*

Very annoying tries to steal your money

### 1/5 — Scrap

*2014-10-03*

Either you propose only a commercial version or you provide a usable free one. 

I thought coding I was managing monkey money to buy features. 

Try to find another app. My advice.

### 1/5 — I don't know why I should pay again

*2014-09-27, version 2.1*

Last version has been removed from the app store. Seems dishonest to require five star review for a feature.

### 1/5 — Can program but can't execute

*2014-05-12, version 2.0*

I don't know how to execute files and there is no help

### 1/5 — Awful

*2014-04-29, version 2.0*

This app lasted less than 5 minutes on my iPad. It's full of ads, it's unintuitive, it's cluttered. Bad UI/UX. Considering 5 star reviews, it could be better, much better. I wouldn't know, this app was frustrating to navigate or run Ruby.

### 1/5 — Паноптикум

*2013-10-17*

Хотите узнать что считает "красивым" и "удобным" человек, которому чужды всякие там руководства по GUI от Apple? :)

### 1/5 — Incredibly annoying

*2013-06-17*

I'm a Ruby developer, and I really, really wanted an editor like this for my phone. However, I couldn't bear this one for even two full minutes before deleting it. The app is incredibly busy--ugly callout boxes with a lousy font, no standard controls (e.g. swipe left & right to switch "tabs"), and worst of all, animated snowflakes in the background. Yes, there are settings to turn nonsense like that off and change colors, but the whole experience just left a very bad taste in my mouth. Avoid this one.
