Perl Programming Language for Negative User Reviews

✓ FREE is deceiving hereYou can download the app for free and run the sample code already given for free. That's it! If you even want to test the app for any other code sample then you have to pay. IMHO listing app as paid and pricing it to $2.99 would have been a true description. As $2.99 is the payment you have to make to get unlimited compilations..BhongaVersion: 9.4

✓ Absolute dung!I rarely write bad reviews but this app is dung! You can't even use iOS standard text selection! You only have the option to paste, no selection or copy. No auto indent or tab key. After all this, you type in your code, hit run, and BANG! "You've ran out of compilations, please purchase some." Why not give us a few compilations to test out the app? 'Cause then we'd see how bad it really is. Poor!.SwampFoetusVersion: 3.3

✓ Useless without extra purchase.Would be at least better to have 1-10 compilations available to see if it really works for the tasks I need. Without that it's useless..NillocVersion: 4.2

✓ Not a great business model?Seems highly weird to pay to use the app features in this way. Not sure it's the right direction really.NickOw.Version: 3.3

✓ Very basic supportThis is not a very useful Perl implementation. First it requires online access and won't work offline. Second it does not allow interactive user input. Instead it gives a separate screen to provide user input before launching the script. May be good for entering pre-determined values. Third, editor will not scroll. If you past half screen then you can't see what you type..HugeWave7Version: 2.1

✓ Pretty weakThis is pretty far from anything resembling perl. It actually runs on a remote server somewhere? Lol..Jems2112Version: 3.3

✓ Don't waste your timeJust a front end for you to purchase..RobmichelVersion: 6.2

✓ Agree with the others, good startIf need to scratch an itch and do some Perl on your phone, this works pretty well. It does require an internet connection, so know that going into it. It might be nice if it had a custom keyboard which made some of the commonly used special chars ( like $, @ or ;) available at the top level. But for what it is, it works..ESalmonVersion: 1.8

✓ Don't botherHave to buy "compiles" for an interpreted language? Useless....Brad SmalleyVersion: 4.2

✓ Practically UselessThe program lacks any real capabilities.... I guess you could use it to do some math problems... But peels true power is restricted. Can't import modules. Can't create an icon for your program. As far as I know you can't access, and edit files.....JukariVersion: 2.1

✓ Useless unless you buy IAPThis app will not let you compile anything unless you purchase compilation credits.DmblueVersion: 6.2

✓ DeceptiveYou pay two bucks for this game, only to then have to pay more money to actually use it! You can read the how-tow guide but cannot run compilations without buying them..MisstoldyasoVersion: 3.3

✓ It's a start, but needs moreThis is a pretty cool app, but it is limited. I think the idea for this app is great, however the implementation is limited. For example, <STDIN> in the 'HELLO WORLD' example provided doesn't work. I would give it a higher rating if < STDIN> worked. This app is a good start, but clearly not a finished product. If you are trying to learn perl don't start here because this app will mess you up on some of the basics..August BlackburnVersion: 2.1

✓ This isn't freeYou have to pay to run a script. And once you do and realize that this app can't handle STDIN, you can't get your money back. Not a perlish way..Mistake95Version: 9.4

✓ Can’t run anything before payingThe program is completely worthless unless you’re ready to pay for the privilege of actually running your script. It starts you with 0 compilations available. What a joke..JuhbvccgbVersion: 13.0

✓ A good toy, but limits your use.I was 30 minutes into a Perl-coding work session with this app on my iphone, when it just cut me off. It said I had used up my quota of compiles for the day! No prior warning; no hint as to what that limit was; no plan B for buying an offline compiler or buying more online access. Very frustrating..JoeteedeeVersion: 2.1
