Processing & p5.js iCompiler for Negative User Reviews
✓ Landscape please!It is unlikely that I will use this for writing processing on the ipad unless I can type in landscape mode. Same for the other one I tried (and will review much the same).Version: 1.0.2
✓ BadPoor quality app, no good way to import an existing project, waste of time.Version: 2.6.4
✓ A poor effortDeleted within two minutes - it's using an old version of Processing, has no error output at all (code just fails silently on error), no console to speak of, and the standard keyboard. Look elsewhere, this should just be taken off the store..Version: 2.0
✓ It’s okay, but importing doesn’t workI get it’s open source and free to use (I’d pay for it if a: there were a list of features I’d get for that, and b: I could find the in-app purchase page), but the import project folder feature doesn’t work. If this is something that’s a benefit for paying users, it should either be disabled or lead to the subscription page. A coder-friendly keyboard would be a plus, but I can manage. For doing quick Processing sketches on the fly, it’s good enough but don’t expect to be able to do more complex projects..Version: 2.7
✓ Buggy, Compiler feedback behind a paywallI thought that with this app I could pun processing sketches created on the desktop version on my phone. I spent 4ish hours writing it only to find out that I cannot use this app. For one, you can’t import an entire folder at once. You can’t even import multiple .pde files at once! I had to import each one individually and copy paste them back together. Additionally, you have to pay to receive ANY feedback from the compiler. I completely understand the necessity for a paid version but you should at least be able to verify that your code works before paying. Without compiler feedback this is literally useless to program in. You cannot fix your code if the only error you are given is “Faulty code detected. Pay us to see where” I have no issue with the paid version and I would happily pay for it after I can make my code work but I can’t even do that Thirdly, the code color highlighting is terrible. It highlights inside comments, and only highlighted “bool” out of a boolean declaration. Notepad++, free open source software does this just fine, as does every other text editor. Any IDE should be at least that good. Lastly, the compiler seems overall buggy. Code written on Processing windows unchanged, does not run on this app. This program was nothing fancy. It only had 4 classes and did very little, but somewhere there is an error that I am completely unable to fix because I can’t see compiler feedback. I was really excited when I found this app and hope that I can use it how I intended. That is unfortunately impossible right now..Version: 2.6.4
✓ What?So you have to pay to see any errors or feedback at all? I get it but I have 5 like lines of code just like any of the examples and it says it can’t run..And it’s a subscription? They really aren’t trying to hide the greed..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Good editor, but with a fatal problemI love the fact that I can use this editor to work on sketches when I don’t have internet available, but several times I’ve had a situation where I’ve done substantial work on a file and found out later that none of my changes were saved and the file has reverted to an earlier version..Version: 2.7
✓ Pay to play - on processing?Simple commands won’t run. Dev want $$ to “debug” it. In another review he literally told someone who complained to fix it themself. Nice attitude. Typical German..Version: 2.6.4
✓ Does not workSome functions work. I could draw an ellipse. But others don’t . I could not draw a square. I paid $9.99 for the subscription to see if that would help, and it did not. Total rip off. They took my money and I still don’t have something that works..Version: 2.7
✓ Works well except when you want to export filesI downloaded this just for a project in my university multi media course. The functionality in app works very well in my opinion for coding but can get overloaded easily. The one major, I repeat major problem that I face with this is that I cannot export it anywhere to submit it to my course’s online dropbox. I feel that this would be a major problem for several other people as well if they only have access to an IPad like me..Version: 2.3
✓ Compiler error messages, when do we want it?NOW!.Version: 2.3
✓ Not too shabbyPretty decent for a lightweight version of Processing, ideal for beginners or for if you are using basic commands My only gripe is that you are unable to use any of the Processing libraries, would live to see this feature in future updates!!!.Version: 2.3
✓ This could be awesomeThe basic implementation for Processing is done well. Seems like a few functions are missing, but a great start. To make this a 5 star app and worldwide adoption, consider the following suggestions. If time is the issue, I bet many users would be willing to pay $1 or more to complete this. 1) implement Processing version 3 functions so sketches are fully portable 2) add multi-file support 3) add library capability with some type of library manager to import or delete libs 4) add capability to import and export sketches to a host computer. Maybe use Dropbox or or other existing file sharing tool I look forward to future enhancements..Version: 2.2
✓ No dev supportThe app is a buggy, and don’t expect support. I’ve emailed the devs, and never got a reply. Project naming is broken, so you can’t name files with underscores or numbers, which is common for processing sketches. More complex effects such as blendMode(); don’t work. Simple sketches are possible, but if you want to make something more complex you’ll have to resort to video editing apps, or using a real IDE on a desktop..Version: 2.2
✓ No compiler messages LOLBuilding this nice app and then not showing compiler errors is kind of hilarious. I feel like I’ve been trolled..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Won’t run .pde filesIf you try to upload pde files and run them, they won’t work. You have to pay $25 to “unlock” compiler output to see what’s wrong. I’d rather make my own app than pay tax to see a compiler output..Version: 2.7
✓ DISAPPOINTMENTImagine the least you could do for a Processing app, and you have this app. A huge disappointment. - No local reference (I can open the web reference by myself; it’s NOT THAT MUCH WORK) - No code complete/insight - the console is UNUSABLE for anything more than a single line - Not up to the standard of the current desktop app This is JUNK. PLEASE DO BETTER..Version: 2.7
✓ Functions with parameters breakMaybe I’m just crazy, but if i have a custom function with any parameters, the whole screen renders black. No parameters? Fine, works fine, but I need parameters to work :(.Version: 2.6.6
✓ Great appNot a bad start at all! Very usable but lacking some features like highlighted key words, edit name of sketch and copy sketch for example. An error message instead of a blank screen when the code is wrong would be nice, as sometimes it tales a few moments to realise if your sketch has a white background anyway! I have found it to be more stable that other offerings of processing on iOS..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Very simplisticDoesn’t support StringList, which is the basis of what I want. Not much use to me. Waste of money..Version: 2.7
✓ Critical flawsThe app is great, easy to use and overall deserves a 5 Star review, except that it deletes your code. Frequently. For anyone who hasn't used the app there is one thing you should know, there is no save button. While it seems to save when you exit the project, or logically it should save when you run the program, under certain circumstances, it will revert to the first time you ever exited the program. It seems like just implementing a save or backup button would make the program perfect. But if it can't even function as a notepad, then it's only a mediocre compiler..Version: 2.3
✓ No documentation. nosupport.Some processing feature work. many don't. buying a subscription is no solution. i feel ripped off.Version: 2.6.3
✓ Good but is missing featuresProcessing on the ipad is… meh. i think being able to open the folder of code on the files app would be very helpful and is a necessary feature that is missing from the ipad app..Version: 2.6.7
✓ Okay appThe app is okay because it allows you to create programs and run them, but is lacking in a few places. For one, there are no error messages. This makes correcting your code unnecessarily difficult for even fixing a simple mistake like a missing semicolon. Secondly, the formatting is a bit off. Else statements will throw the formatting of the whole code off and you have to type very specifically for some of the coloring to work (An example being you must have parenthesis directly after an "if" for it to be colored). While the coloring isn't necessary, it would be nice for it to work. Another somewhat minor issue is that you can swipe from the left hand of the screen to go back to your code. This means if a user of your code actually has to perform this action in some hypothetical program, it will just end it and go straight back to the code, inevitably frustrating them and the programmer. I ran into this problem when drawing with a piece of code I made. And lastly, the output strictly only shows 2 lines. There is no clear option to make the output larger or to perhaps split the output with the drawing screen. Overall I would have given this app 3 stars but I couldn't because it lacks error messages, which are pretty essential to programming..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Doesn’t recognize some data types.I ‘m using this for a college CSC course. It automatically highlights some words as data types and it’s quite annoying. I ‘m using the interface function and the app things I’ve created an int named “erface”. Booleans also come out as just “bool” and the bool’s name is “ean”. Extremely annoying. Don’t waste your time with it. Just get the program on your laptop..Version: 2.3
✓ Glitched?I started a canvas, and drew in it, it I can’t see the finished product, like I can’t see what I coded, I can only see the code, even when I click the play button.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Not finishedWhile I really appreciate having access to this on the iPad, this version isn’t in great shape. The interface is lacking important functionality and feels like an early-access build rather than a finished product. I’ve paid for a subscription, which is supposed to allow highlighting of errors. The app does not highlight errors consistently and often sketches don’t run despite the absence of any errors. When it does highlight errors it just tells me to “//“ which isn’t exactly helpful. It’s quite frustrating to have the sketch not run, and to then have to comb through the code with no highlighted errors to help, only to find that actually the program simply isn’t working and is just displaying a blank screen even when you start a fresh sketch. So not only have I paid for functionality that isn’t there, but I’ve also paid for an app that doesn’t work consistently. That said I’m happy to pay just support the devs, but I do expect it to be properly supported in the future if your taking money for this. A few things I would like to see: 1. Little to no errors in running sketches 2. Proper highlighting of errors or the removal of this feature as a paid option 3. A more logical file organisation system with folders and all of the file management functionality that you would expect. (Thumbnails would also be neat) 4. A built-in referencing feature for identifying the arguments and information inside the sketch window, rather than being pointed to an external webpage..Version: 2.7
✓ Near worthless without being able to import libs.Needs the ability to import libraries. Also almost no debugging even if you pay. It’s a good start but that’s all it is..Version: 2.6.5
✓ Meh!I’m new to coding and while it’s nice to have an app where I can write and edit code, this app certainly doesn’t make it easy on me. It doesn’t display error messages, only the output, so when code doesn’t run it’s very difficult to find the source of the error. It doesn’t auto-indent and it doesn’t detect missing or extra brackets, so formatting is really difficult. sorry!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Sketch doesn't run properlyThis app has excellent text input and copy paste (all lacking in other ios Processing apps) but unfortunately my sketch didn't run. It got the background colour correct but only that. Sketch works fine in other Processing dev environments. I'd pay for an update that worked..Version: 1.1.1
✓ One of a Kind ExperienceThis is the worst experience I’ve seen in my life, excuse my profanity. -4th Year Comp Sci Student.Version: 2.7
✓ If you don't want heartache, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APPIt seemingly randomly reverts progress and there is no save option other than to export the script as a file. I will not pay for an app that deletes entire functions and classes that I spent days working with. This seems to happen more often when using multiple .pde tabs, and when switching tabs it often undoes all work done in the previous tab after the new tab was created. Horrible file management and the data loss is not worth it..Version: 2.7
✓ Dialog in German?!Not sure this version is built correctly. Dialogs are in German..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Brilliant but no animate supportTry animate but only show static images..Version: 1.1.1
✓ UpdatesIs this app updated with the most recent pro repo? im trying to run a simple shape tutorial just to start, because i have things to do, but the app just runs a black screen, and it doesnt tell me anything. how am i supposed to know which features it can run if the support just takes me to the processing site? please fix, and ill increase your rating..Version: 2.6.1
