A: Yes. The interpreter, editor, debugger, lessons, challenges, and examples run on your device. Internet is only needed for online features such as pip installation and SFTP uploads. Q: Is this a real Python 3 interpreter? A: Yes. It uses embedded CPython 3 with the standard library. Your code runs locally, not on a remote server. Q: Can I run NumPy, pandas, and Matplotlib? A: Yes. Supported scientific packages include NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, SciPy, seaborn, SymPy, and scikit-learn. Q: Can I install packages with pip? A: Yes. Pro users can install compatible packages with pip. Pure-Python packages generally work; native packages require compatible mobile wheels. Q: Does it include a Python debugger? A: Yes. Use breakpoints, step debugging, locals, watches, call stack, expression evaluation, and exception handling. Q: Can I build multi-file Python projects? A: Yes. Open folders as projects, work with multiple Python files, search projects, import/export ZIP files, and configure how projects run. Q: Can I learn Python from scratch? A: Yes. The app includes 100 lessons, 84 coding challenges, examples, worked solutions, and progress tracking. Q: Is my code private? A: Your code runs locally and is not uploaded to our servers. Files leave your device only when you choose to share or upload them. Q: What is free and what requires Pro? A: Free includes a working Python environment, core coding, tutorials, challenges, and examples. Pro adds unlimited projects and files, unlimited packages, the debugger, and run configurations. Write. Run. Debug. Learn Python anywhere — online or offline. Privacy Policy: https://koderead.com/privacy-policy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
