2/5Unstable
App will constantly freeze up, crash, then delete your last 5 minutes of work. Don’t bother trying to use multitasking, nothing is saved, the stop button at times is unresponsive, and while deleting if you spam the key a few times and end up going to the line above it tends (not always) to crash, holding the button instead hasn’t had this issue… yet. When it works though it’s great, I wouldn’t even mind the occasional crashing if I didn’t lose my data. Maybe make auto save more aggressive or let me save manually. Until then this is a cool tool for small scripts, but anything big is gonna give you a headache

4/5Works well
Updated Review: When I first used the app, it would not run even the most simple script. A day later, there was an update, so I gave it a second try. I immediately saw the difference. When you first start the app, the interpreter starts up and tells you the version of python installed (the usual), something that did not happen the first time. I was able to run scripts using NumPy and pandas without any issues. The interface could still use some work though, other than that it is a great app. Initial Review: This app cannot even run a simple python script: print(‘does this even work?’), let alone be used with pandas or NumPy. Plus, the GUI is also very, very basic. Don’t waste your money.

5/5Love the app. Bugs happen. Where to report them?
I really like this app. I write Python for machine learning applications for a living and having this tool on my iPhone and iPad 4 mini has become a true delight. I've encountered a weird problem with loading csv files. I have many csv files for testing a program, which I load one at a time. Some load but most are viewed by Pyto as nonexistent. I've deleted and recreated them multiple times without success. Where do I report errors like this? Not to bring completion to the discussion but I've also been using Pythonista3. I'm disappointed that they have far less module and library support than Pyto but I have no issue loading csv files as I need to. Only saying I know it's not the files. Help :) The fact that Pyto seems more concerned about delivering comprehensive functionality makes me smile for sure. Keep it up :). I'll remain loyal !

5/5Impressive
Prior to finding Pyto, I would often plug a Raspberry Pi into my iPad or resort to SSHing into a remote machine for Python3 development. I tried some other “on-iPad” Python solutions, but they all felt kludgey or were missing key Libraries I needed like Pillow, or numpy. What really won me over though, was the developer’s approach to creating this app and some of his others. Development is very open. You can visit the project’s GitHub page to learn more or potentially even contribute packages or bug-fixes. Well done!

1/5Crashing
You can find lots of feedback online regarding Pyto crashing in many different ways. Right out of the gate, it crashed as I opened a file thru Working Copy (git), and immediately it lost knowledge about the 3~days trial and I had to accept the trial once again. A couple of files later it locked up, and I had to restart it. It now regularly crashes when a file is opened from Working Copy, sometimes the file is not opened in the Pyto editor, and sometimes Pyto crashes when executing a script. This is way too unstable for my (any?) use. And note, I don’t mind paying for the pro version, but an app, especially an editor, needs to be rock stable for practical uses, functionality is worth nothing in a constantly crashing app. Final comment: my iOS is fully up-to-date, was rebooted and I am using latest Pyto version. The app also crash in multiple ways. I don’t think this is a single minor bug fix, rather a fundamental problem that will require a ground up redesign of the app before it can stabilize.

- Upgraded to Python 3.10 - Dropped iOS / iPadOS 13 support - A new UI without the system file browser - Run scripts in Picture in Picture - A new UI for tracebacks - Edit any kind of text file - Better UI for finding and replacing text in the editor - Build cross platform UIs with Toga - Add files as attachments to scripts running from Shortcuts - New pasteboard APIs to work with any type of data - sys.path, sys.argv and the working directory are no longer shared between all scripts - shutil.get_terminal_size() now always returns the size of the correct terminal - Show HTML files from the editor and add Python code in a script tag - Bug fixes

17.1.1
- Improved syntax highlighting - Bug fixes
18.0
Terminal -------- The REPL and the Shell were merged into a 'Terminal' section that can run UNIX commands or the Python interpreter. These commands can also be executed with the 'subprocess' module or 'os.system'. The shell will no longer recognize Python modules unless an entry point was specified in 'setup.py' or 'setup.cfg', so modules like 'pip' will be recognized. To run other modules, use 'python -m'. Good bye to the toolbar, the input is now directly written to the console. Pressing an image will open it in full screen. Code editor ----------- On iPad, the suggestions, and now doc strings, are displayed under the cursor. Modules ------- All third party modules scripts are now included inside the app bundle and don't need to be downloaded. This makes the app's size way bigger but I think it was a bad user experience to have to download scripts again because a library was updated even if the app was also updated. 'sharing' and 'bookmarks' were merged into a 'file_system' module. File browser ------------ The file browser displays folders in a hierarchical way. There is a new template for setuptools projects. Documentation ------------- You can now download the documentation for third party libraries included with the app and build your own documentations with Sphinx. PyPI ---- There is now a complete version of pip so it should now behave like it does on any computer (with the exception of C extensions of course). That makes it possible to run 'pip install .' to install your own projects. The PyPI section of the app now displays installed modules and also available upgrades. Shortcuts --------- New shortcut: Run Command New parameters: - Working directory - sys.stdin
18.0.1
- Fixed code completion problems - Fixed OpenCV missing
18.0.10
Bug fixes
18.0.11
Fixed a bug with code completion on iPhone
18.0.12
Fixed an issue showing the purchase screen for people who have purchased Pyto when it was paid upfront. This was caused by the revocation of a certificate bundle within the app itself. If you have purchased it again as an In App Purchase, please request a refund to the App Store (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084), this was not intended and I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
