4/5Impressive-- 1st Love2D app w/IDE on the App Store!
Kudos to the developer who I believe is the first to bring the programming world of Love2D to the App store! This app functions similarly to the official Love2D release on github in that it lets you import and run Love2D projects. As a bonus, it also includes a mini-IDE that shows you the the code in the .lua files in the project and lets you debug and them. It even allows you to write your own .lua files on the device to make them into .love projects. The only reason I didn't rate this initial version as 5 stars is that it could use some more of an on device tutorial showing how to use all of its features and might benefit from a larger IDE screen (e.g. half or even full screen size that could be hidden when running the app) and perhaps a "stop" button to halt execution of running apps. All in all, I greatly appreciate the developers efforts to bring Love2D to the App Store (already available for Android) and to offer it for free. I'd highly recommend it to those who use Love2D in addition to those interesting in learning .lua and the benefits's of Love2D's extension of lua with its graphics and multiple other handy features.

5/5Thanks!
Able to run Balatro on IPad without ever having to sideload or tether to itunes. Works smoothly.

5/5Editor needs work, otherwise a good app
After 20 seconds of editing, the page will jump a whole screen of text which is extremely annoying seeing as it happens on every single launch.

3/5The update broke Balatro
I only use this app to play Balatro from my Steam purchase and it had been quite good except the buttons being at the top right corner. But the latest update totally broke the game for me. It no longer launch the game in horizontal mode. The hidpi no longer works either so extremely blurry and I can’t see the texts anymore. I am not a developer of any kind so I have no idea how to fix this.

4/5Great app - editor could be improved
I really like what this app offers. My only gripe is that I think the editor lacks many features other gamedev apps like codea have such as dedicated indent/undindent, parathesis shortcut buttons, no searching within code. There is also no way to close keyboard when editing. If you could improve the editor experience borrowing features from apps like Codea, this would be my primary gamedev IDE
