User reviews

Unusable, unfortunately

There are a lot of bugs with this app now. I only made it about three minutes before giving up. When you first start coding, the keyboard pops up and pushes the code off the screen, so you can’t see what you’re writing. The screen blinks in and out frequently, like a strobe light at a concert. And as another reviewer mentioned, basic Ruby methods (not from Rails) are mysteriously missing. In sum, you just aren’t going to get anywhere with this app.

Flippin awesome.

Great App

Only thing I can say is you could have some better tutorials for beginners other than that it’s a great app

Very useful for outside work!

I must make my ruby program only by iPhone. I can do that to use this Rubylist by using iPhone 13 + ELECOM OSMOD Six + ELECOM Ultra Slim Keybord. Thanks a lot!

Nada

Nothing happening here. No longer functional.
