Pythonista 3 for Negative User Reviews
✓ OutdatedI paid good money for this app and its no where the capability of others. First off this uses python 3.6 when other IDEs use 3.8 or 3.7 at least. The BIGGEST reason you should not buy this app until the dev fixes it is the lack of numpy or pandas....I’m very disappointed with the slow development on this so far.Version: 3.2
✓ Great but for the lack of ScipyExcellent app, especially when used with a hardware keyboard. Smooth, quick (on my 2018 iPad 9.7”) and the addition of numpy, matplotlib and pip are awesome. Sadly for me, without scipy it’s not much good for anything other than quick coding on the fly. It seems unlikely that this will ever be remedied, but if it was, Pythonista would instantly become my main coding interface. Also it would be nice to be able to import files of any type - having to pre-convert .dat to .txt is annoying, especially seeing as there is no material difference..Version: 3.2
✓ BadAbsolute PoS, don’t purchase if you want any script to work.Version: 3.2
✓ Very good, but it could be betterWhile the process of actually coding a program is made much easier with this app, it can definitely improve (since perfection is near impossible). Personally, I think it would be a great addition to find a way for the use of pip to be possible through the app directly. Whether it would be in the terminal line or somewhere else entirely, I don’t know. However, what I do know is that as is modules and packages are very frustrating to have to install Regardless, I do highly recommend this app, it works rather smoothly, has a rather soothing style and works great. Edit: I have more than just one device, and my newest device is an iPad Pro without the home button. When I am in the console, the normal bar where you can see what you’re typing is covered by the Bluetooth keyboard’s little pop up. however, on my other Ipad, which also has a keyboard, this problem doesn’t occur. Also, it would be nice to add scikit into the default modules available, as it is one of the most popular.Version: 3.2
✓ Freezes, not updated anymore.Freezes on iPad Pro. Seems like developer is not maintaining the app anymore!.Version: 3.3
✓ 最近闪退严重Ipad os系统，求求你快点升级吧！！！最近闪退太严重了，我打开个numpy都闪退的。。。.Version: 3.2
✓ Won’t open .py from google driveAll my .py files are greyed out In google drive.Version: 3.2
✓ Was a great appWas a great app…. But it’s showing it’s age now and it’s no longer being updated(last update 2 years ago). Due to lack of development, probably best to use another app. Since iOS 16, it freezes up regular. Seems to struggle with iCloud too..Version: 3.3
✓ Great BUT lacking...This app is great if you plan on doing light work however if you want to consider using it for more intensive work I’d recommend another app on the AppStore for a similar price... This app has the potential to be the best IDE for IOS ever however it is missing several mission critical modules, i.e. pandas, scipy, etc..Version: 3.3
✓ MistakeWell it's not the developer's fault. They are upfront that not all of SciPy is included but like a mug I didn't look into the specifics before I bought it. I'm sure it's a great app but no pandas = not useful for me at all. Feeling like a fool..Version: 3.3
✓ Doesn’t workIt won’t compile code. It keeps giving an error about indentation. I phoned for a refund and they said no. Not good..Version: 3.3
✓ Can't Get Past `import scene as *`Importing any module as * is a horrible bad practice that is well known and documented in all the PEP documentation as well as by successful, professional Python programmers everywhere. The prominent use of this anti-pattern makes an otherwise fantastic achievement in programming completely unusable at my school. I will not encourage students to do this under any circumstances (and equally despise all the failed `import turtle as *` tutorials and books as well). As a development manager and project lead I would have fired anyone making use of that anti-pattern. Why would I encourage hundreds of students to start out their programming lives incorrectly?.Version: 3.1
✓ Does work, freezes........complete Joke AvoidThis software is a lot BS, it doesn’t work on my iPad Pro 11” it doesn’t load anything up when you any of the options to open a new file or open examples. Then it just freezes and I have to close the application complete down. But I have yet to do anything in this software. AVOID AT ALL COST, unless you fancy spending £10 for sod all!!!!.Version: 3.3
✓ No pandas no sklearn and you even didn’t mention thatWhat a joke? Now I understand the limitation of a “python environment”on iOS but it should never be my responsibility to do so before I dicided to buy this..Version: 3.2
✓ Can’t see entered text in Console on iPad Pro using keyboardThis app seems nice, but I instantly found a giant problem: if you run a new iPad Pro in landscape mode using an Apple keyboard (or probably any keyboard — but I haven’t tried others yet), the “shortcuts” bar completely blocks the Console prompt and you can’t see a single thing you’re typing. This can be fixed by disabling “shortcuts” in iOS Settings, but that’s ridiculous — and prevents password managers from offering to populate password fields, which is a dealbreaker. I want my $9.99 back but “App Support” on iTunes Store just links to a page that offers “Community Forums” or the ability to tweet the author (I don’t tweet). Community Forums indicate this has been a known bug since autumn 2018 with no fix yet after almost a year. Is this app abandonware? Huge bummer..Version: 3.2
✓ Freeze on ipad pro 2022 12,9''Title says it all.Version: 3.3
✓ This version immediately crashes on older iPad.Please fix (as promised). The App doesn’t start and immediately crashes..Version: 3.4
✓ Mission-Critical Modules Missing Mysteriously: SciPyLacks SciPy, an incredibly important library for serious users performing serious work. More like a child’s toy currently. Using a professional tablet yet I’m sequestered to using an online IDE because the app lacks mission-critical modules. Otherwise the app is incredibly amazing, I enjoyed using it outside of its crippled status and when it does have these modules added I will return to using it immediately. Until then however, it’s useless for serious work, data science. Please add SciPy immediately. I’m aware this isn’t the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time this has been requested and I suspect either the dev lacks interest or lacks the means to do so. Should it be the first, my intent is to use this in my laboratory where we perform fusion experiments at the University of York Plasma Institute. Hopefully that inspires you to include it since you would be enabling fantastic results and hopefully reach Q=1. Should it be the second, please reach out immediately to your network and find the skills to do so, resources to do so. Appeal to Apple if its a case of them prohibiting you. Your app has the potential to revolutionise research as we incorporate professional tablets into our laboratory work..Version: 3.2
✓ Very good program but not 100% reliableI’ve found Pythonista to be an excellent tool for python development on the go (I use it alongside Working Copy in most of my projects). It has everything I need for python development, great job. The only flaw I’ve found is that sometimes it crashes and in those instances I tend to lose the last 1-2 minutes of work. It’s not a massive issue even though it happens quite often, hence the two stars, it can be quite annoying at times. Other than that, good job! Ps: i would send a bug report but there’s no easy way from the app and I don’t have the time for bug trackers. If the issue continues I will be forced to use another app..Version: 3.2
✓ NEEDS trackpad support asapAwesome app, but PLEASE update with trackpad support! or else magic keyboard is useless with app to select text, etc... Once done, this app well deserves 5/5.Version: 3.3
✓ Numpy ?I bought the app recently. I start to play with it. My first reflex is to multiply two matrices : A@B ... error ! Because it uses an old version of Numpy. This is one of the most expensive iOS app I ever pay, and it's not up to date... waste of money..Version: 3.2
✓ Shortcuts arguments are brokenCan’t receive any arguments from shortcuts. Waste of $15..Version: 3.2
✓ Good but not enoughPLEASE ADD C# CODE TO IT PLEAAAASSSE. I Only know C# code and this is the best coding app for it. so please add it (thank you) :D.Version: 3.3
✓ Great app but broken by bugI bought Pythonista a while ago but after a few days it seemed to just stop working and would crash upon being opened. I tried opening it via web at the link pythonista:// but that only opened the app and crash it as soon as I fried to open while of my saved .py files. I’m not sure what’s happening but I would definitely rate higher if there was a solution to this bug since I payed quite a bit of money for a broken app.Version: 3.3
✓ No LivyNo way to import kivy.Version: 3.3
✓ No files access and useless with iPad keyboardI can’t use or see the console to input when I’m using the iPad physical keyboard. The shortcuts on the lower border of the screen cover up the console entry area. It also won’t let you save files anywhere except in the old iCloud app specific area. It doesn’t use the iOS12+ “files” api which would allow you to save in Dropbox or iCloud areas normally accessable by other programs. I’m just trying to use this to access some folders where I put my assignments when working from my MacBook. This is a failure and pretty useless to me even if it is good at anything else..Version: 3.2
✓ Good but didn’t work recentlyIt is good, but what happened? I can open this app now.Version: 3.2
✓ Needs updating.Really good at what it does and the interface is a joy (for me anyway) but I am afraid that I currently use Pyto as it is more up to date. Pythonista currently tops out at version 3.6 while many coders (including myself) need features found in 3.7 and 3.8..Version: 3.3
✓ Pythonista is hot garbageDon’t buy this garbage app you might as well buy some vbucks instead.Version: 3.3
✓ Numpy is brokenI can live without pandas… but no numpy? No….Version: 3.3
✓ Cant open folders as projects in working copyTitle says all.Version: 3.2
✓ Fix your dam app upCan’t even select a single letter of text without it selecting the whole line, broken app.Version: 3.3
✓ Good but could be greatThis is a good app and I would recommend it. However, I have a couple of complaints: 1- No Trackpad support! Moving code around could be way easier with a trackpad support. 2- It should be updated to run Python 3.8 (still stuck on 3.6) Yes the development is a little slow but I think its worth every penny..Version: 3.3
✓ Great app but does not seem to support family shareHave purchased app but want my kids to learn programming too. Unfortunately when they go onto App Store on their device it asks for payment even though they are set up as part of my family share. Any ideas why that may be..Version: 3.2
✓ Works amazing, just needs little moreIt’s a great app and I wouldn’t mind paying $14, however for my school programs I require the Tkinter GUI which simply isn’t available on the app and hence for me it proves as less useful. Wish such modules are added soon in the future.Version: 3.2
✓ Some coding doesn’t work on itI have been trying to learn Python and then I found this app and at first it was good but then I started learning how to put kinda pictures up on the screen and I have tried multiple times and its not that I am not doing it right because I am copying of my teachers app and on that app it lets you code it and it works so I would like to rate this a 5 star but I do not know why the coding doesn’t work properly it might just be me but I don’t think it is.Version: 3.3
✓ Abandoned, or at least, neglected.Note: The low rating is to get the developer’s attention, and send a red flag to others who might by the app and be disappointed by its current state. Pythonista could potentially be the most useful, powerful app available for developers from the App Store. That’s not an exaggeration, and the potential also increases dramatically when you consider what could be done with Shortcuts integration. Overall, the app is incredibly made and very well integrated with iOS and it’s UI heuristics. At least... it *was,* and that’s the issue. The developer is AWOL, and we haven’t seen an update since the beginning of 2018, not has there been any activity on his GitHub issue tracker. Major opportunities for functional improvement, and minor bugs are popping up, due to the lack of adoption of the most recent iOS SDK’s features and API changes. This is a situation that will only get worse over time..Version: 3.2
✓ This doesn’t even workI have been trying to run a script and it doesn’t even send an error message it just does nothing.Version: 3.3
✓ Many bugsOriginally felt the app was good, but can’t use arrow keys or even run the program sometimes! Super laggy sometimes and certain pieces of code crashes the app completely. Absolutely horrible and would not recommend, especially after the developer has not updated the app in over a year..Version: 3.3
✓ Cannot install pandasSince purchasing the app I have discovered that I am unable to install pandas (and a few other modules) using stash correctly, apparently due to the restrictions apple impose on C-code. It would be good if there was a free 1 week trial before paying as I paid to find out that within the first 30 minutes. I have submitted a request for a refund as it doesn’t fulfil my needs..Version: 3.3
✓ You should get it but...This was the only working python thing for my needs so good job but please implement a tkinter feature called tkinter so that I can watch tutorials and make it work..Version: 3.2
