| 2025-01-11 |  | | It's good but not great. The syntax highlightings suck. When I'm putting a single long obfuscated line in Lua (of course) on a print code it supposedly deobfuscates the code. I checked the obfuscated script, nothing seems to be wrong, a string color is green which that this syntax highlight show me. And when I runned it has error. So I missed the slashes(/ or \). Please improve the syntax highlighting, it will help us alot. And also add Luarocks so we can access APIs(i think). |
| 2024-12-27 |  | | Good IDE but serious weakness that you can't install packages / libraries in to it like you can do in CxxDroid and PyDroid3. Developer better think about it. |
| 2024-12-13 |  | | It's slow as hell, when you press down somewhere to start typing it takes almost a solid second to response |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | Great, but console output isn't monospace and wraps prematurely. Otherwise it's local, has good formatting, and overall works well! |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | Really good app for when you come up with a feature and need to right the function when you aren't near your pc. |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | the premium doesn't seem worth it, but that also means I don't have to buy it :D great app! |
| 2024-10-13 |  | | Great app, does what it advertises well. There is a paywall behind a few features, but these features aren't essential in any way and you can program just fine without them. No ads and no internet required, syntax highlighting is smooth and looks nice. Lightweight and can be used to develop a wide variety of things very quickly and easily. Multi-file projects are as easy as they are on computer, at least with require()! Developer responds super quickly and is helpful and open to advice. 👌👌👌 |
| 2024-08-12 |  | | this cat is good the red monkeys,and all these cool creatures (troll) |
| 2024-07-03 |  | | I like this IDE. I think it's the best out there for lua. But here lies the case it is limiting, because it doesn't have any package manager to install lua libraries. Can you please include this option in the next update |
| 2024-07-02 |  | | Good app. However, it scared the hell out of me when I disabled access to phone UI. It turned the phone off, and I was so scared until I realized my phone was working again. |
