### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-05-05*

Especially nice that you can use it offline.

### 5/5 — Great for prototyping

*2014-04-05*

So far so good, excellent for prototyping Ruby code...

### 5/5 — At last

*2014-02-26*

i am very pleased to be able to practice Ruby on the ipad.  this will help me stay sharp.

### 5/5 — Good

*2014-01-19*

Good

### 5/5 — Geat start

*2013-12-08, version 1.7*

Great start to ruby

### 5/5 — Just learning

*2013-10-04*

Great tool to start learning the Ruby Programming Language.

### 5/5 — A gem in the rough

*2013-05-04*

This ruby tool is the best so far on the ipad.

Menus and GUI interface need to have better translations to English and that is the only issue that i have found.

### 1/5 — 有bug请尽快修正

*2016-12-09*

只有第一次执行代码是正确的，修改代码后执行的结果和第一次一样，每次修改后都不得不重新打开应用再执行，才能看到正确的结果。

### 1/5 — Awful clunky and cheats

*2014-11-07*

Paid money up front for this ruby app, only to find it won't let you execute code unless you give the app five stars on review. So now I give it one star. Apple please pull this cheating app.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2013-05-14*

Never bothered to write a review before this.  This is the worst coding app I have ever used.  The default 3d box transition and snowflake (!) animations slow the interface down to a crawl.  I had to change so many terrible defaults before the thing was usable.  But even then, I couldn't get the execute button to stop making a bell noise at max volume. Ding! Ding!  Even with my iPad on mute.  Maybe there was a setting to turn it off, but I didn't see one.  I shouldn't have to look to begin with! Every single page wants you to "confirm" by tapping, every time, as if to make sure you really wanted to open that page. Whyyyy!?

Also it appears that the ruby standard library is possibly not included or it uses 1.8. It couldn't require "benchmark" which is standard in 1.9

### 1/5 — Crap.  Don't buy.

*2013-01-07*

You would expect a simple irb.  You would be wrong.  This app ia a scam.  That is all.

### 2/5 — Can’t write files

*2020-01-24*

Curious  this developer’s c++ and python apps can write and read files but ruby can’t. It certainly limits the program’s utility.

### 2/5 — Too much nonsense

*2015-02-14, version 2.1*

This doesn't run on iPad right now (but works on phone) and has been broken for a while.

It runs Ruby 1.9.3. Slowly. It hasn't been updated to Ruby 2.x.x. There's no graphics or Gems support either.

The editor isn't bad, but a shortcut for _ is seriously lacking. At least other characters have shortcuts; a good idea... But Ruby _needs_ underline a lot.

What reeks is all the nonsense: the coins, the weibo posting integration rubbish, and other self-promoting, revenue-raising nuisances that have no place in a product that you have to pay for.

Without the nonsense I'd give this four stars, if it actually ran right now.

### 4/5 — good stuff

*2016-09-02*

I just bought this, but the way it works so far
very convenient

### 4/5 — 好评

*2016-05-22*

好评

### 4/5 — This is a cute app, but a lot of useless stuff

*2015-08-02*

A decent tool out there!
Buyers only pay for the core functionalities, not the fancy useless rewards or something.

### 4/5 — It's Worth the Money

*2015-07-18*

I'm just learning Ruby, and their are not a lot of choices. This is good enough for my needs. The little flashlight, sound player 
controls and what not are extremely annoying. 
But all in all this a good app.

### 5/5 — Danke für deine lieben Worte ich hab dich lieb bis morgen

*2025-07-29, version 3.3*

Ich hatte selten einen Abend, der so überwältigt war der ganze Tag. Ich war so voll mit Kreativität Hilfe Hilfsbewusstsein und am Ende des Tages habe ich es von Menschen zurückbekommen, von den ich niemals erwartet hätte von fremden Menschen Menschen, die ich immer als Feind gesehen hab. Aber glaub ich wirklich Freund mir wächst der Gedanke ach sowas ähnliches zu machen und Freund und ein Helfer zu sein, die Menschen gut zu tun und Böses abzuwenden und die Menschen die Böses tun aufzuzeigen, was sie tun. Das kann ich machen. Egal von wo nicht egal mit was darf keine Gesetze überschreiten denn Gesetze und Regeln sind dafür da, um sich dran zu halten. Ich muss es immer mit reinem Herzen tun, denn ich hab heute gemerkt wie gut ich Menschen sein können und wie gütig Gott sein kann. Seine Gültigkeit und seine Weitsicht hat keine Grenzen. Er ist Teil von mir und gibt mir seine Güte in mein Herz rein.

### 5/5 — I don’t really understand what the actual purpose is for I’m just curious if I’m missing something

### 5/5 — A Lot of Work Must Have Gone into this Release

*2016-09-05*

What a new look.  Can't wait to try some of the new features.  You can use it even if you are stuck without wifi or a phone tower nearby.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2016-03-22*

Very good to start and if you are new

### 5/5 — Great on iPad

*2015-12-26*

Can't wait to fully explore the app on my iPad!!

### 5/5 — 1 star

*2014-11-01*

1 star forced to rate after purchase don't mine rate but I paid I should get the choice

### 5/5 — Ios8 approved!

*2014-10-08*

I love the leaner look!

### 5/5 — Good but bribe

*2014-06-22*

The app bribes you to give it five stars in order to get a new funcion.
Besides that, it is REALLY good. I've been using it to test small parts of code and to try new ideas on the go and I am really happy with it.
