Okay but buggyGood so far but can't erase text when typing into readline console Input and when holding backspace to delete large sections app freezes up and crashes. Have to slowly delete char by char..IphonrapperVersion: 1.4

Fabulous tool, well on its way to greatness!!I was just made aware of this tool yesterday while listening to Scott Hanselman's podcast ("Hanselminutes") where Scott interviewed Frank Krueger the creator of this app. I was really impressed by Frank's approach to the challenges inherent in creating an IDE of this sort and the IL interpreter, and mods to his Roselyn fork. More over, I really was pleased to hear Frank's vision of where this tool should go. He wants a built-in GIT repo client, but that might be more of an Apple attorney based (AAB) limitation. Frank also spoke about his desire to continuously improve the execution speed and dedication to the continuous debugger as well as source file integration is top priority. Frank really pulled off some great architectural mojo with this tool. Based on the quality of, and developer dedication to his other tools I've used - namely, "Calca" & "iCircuit" - I'm sure this app will continue to get more impressive as hurdles are cleared and his interaction with the Xamarin team increases. Keep up the excellent work Frank! What a helpful tool this is!!.Chuck561Version: 1.0.1

I absolutely love this IDE!!! But there are some issues...I love the IDE and it’s making it extremely easy to learn C#. However, the lack of an offline Doc built into the app really kills it for me. Dash has saved me there but it’s still aggravating. Another thing is that it would definitely improve the experience if we were able to access our files from the “files” app, so that we would be easily able to move our projects/apps from our main computer/examples we download from the internet without having to copy them over file...by....file. Of which it doesn’t even allow you to add .csproj files or even other file types that are available in the IDE itself. Only .cs files. Aside from those this is very much a solid IDE for learning C# and F# as well as application development with the Xamarin codebase..LeafNinja1997Version: 1.3

Great IDE for offline mobile devI love playing around with Continuous when I have some spare time on the bus or in the pub. Quite powerful considering it compiles on iOS offline. It has its bugs and some workflows that took getting used to, but that didn’t stop me from prototyping 3 different games completely on my iPhone 6. If you love developing no matter where you are or how big your keyboard is, this is a solid app and IDE. Only wish there was better documentation and support. Supposed to be able to import my own libraries, but I haven’t been able to in my 1.5f years using it. Also would love to see the ability to import files or view the file structure in the files on iOS (to import sprites) Thank you developers of this IDE. I’ve used it tons..Are Pee Gee FanVersion: 1.2

This app makes me want a new iPad -- it's that goodI pretty much gave up on using my iPad since I got a Surface Pro 3. Everything I did on my iPad, I could pretty much do on the Surface. That being said, there's still one thing about iOS that draws me in: focus. When I use iOS, for better or worse, I feel my concerns limited to the task at hand. It holds my ADD at bay. I'm less likely to get lost multitasking. So what does this have to do with Continuous? Everything. It's an IDE that lets me program fluently while limiting my concern to ... well programming! I'm not multitasking like crazy. In a way it's the closest I think a programmer can get to sitting down with a good book and a cup of coffee -- or an IDE and a cup of Joe. And I'm using an iPhone! I love it so much I'm tempted to buy the latest iPad just for this. The bigger screen real estate can only increase the productivity possible with this app. Will it replace VS? No. Will it make programming more fun? I think so. Everything's at your fingertips, literally. Great job. Ridiculous great price. Hope for the future: I'd pay for Resharper-like feature add-ons. Also. A git add-on, like others mentioned, would be nice as well..Atty79Version: 1.0.1

Wow! I’ve been waiting for this a long timeI tried a few aspects and it allows you to create a solution with projects. It looks like it compiles locally and FAST and allows for gui projects as well as console apps. This is hands down the best coding app for C# on the iphone and I’ve tried a few. No more just snippets coding..ChrisKonigesVersion: 1.2

A great start, needs GitIt's amazing to have an IDE like this running on iOS. But until it gets support for Git there's no good way to actually work on real projects. There is a "sources" list when you try to open a file, but it only ever has your local device and I can't figure out how to add things to it. I assume the developer is working on that for the next version. Until then, this app is a very impressive toy..OkGoDoItVersion: 1.0.1

Was Amazing! Was Great tool to learn and dev!I am using this on an iPhone 6 Plus and love being able to learn C# on the go. The interface is easy to use and makes it simple to get working concepts up in a flash. I can't wait to see what feature is added next! Update: No updates in over a year. I was excited with the idea of this app, but it’s out of date and no longer useful..JamiewstVersion: 1.0.1

Awesome app with a ton of potentialThis app is awesome and exactly what I have been searching for. Once other features such as better source control such as Git or even just managing it in iCloud are added as well as other libraries, this app will be a must have for C#/F# developers. Keep up the good work!.RhermesVersion: 1.0.1

Line numbers and GitPlease add line numbers and git integration. Also wen you move out of a field enable auto-formatting so that the formatting occurs when tabbing or moving away from the line. That’s all I think is needed for this app to be perfect..Kley2009Version: 1.2

I don't write reviews often...... but this deserves it. Amazing that I can run an IDE on my iPad and iPhone that performs better than Xcode does on a mac pro with 12 cores and 32gb ram. At $10, this is a steal. I've been meaning to learn F#, and now I've got the perfect way to do so on the go..Rc2718kadVersion: 1.0

Great but not amazingI love using this app whenever i feel like coding, but sometimes when i run the code (even without auto-run) it for some reason runs the same command multiple times. I can definitely see this app blowing up and becoming a great app for coding, it just needs some bug fixes. Things i could suggest are: fix the code running bug i previously mentioned, let the user delete text when typing into a readline console, make a debugger, and maybe some better explanations for how different functions work within the app. I still love using this, I just think it needs some work to be done..AdamTheWalkerVersion: 1.4

Almost amazing, ultimately frustratingA C# IDE on my iPad for under $15 that lets me quickly edit and test pixel perfect Xamarin Forms xaml prototypes with no deployment overhead? Heck yeah! The thing hard crashes every time I wrap MainPage in a NavigationPage or try to use a ViewCell written in code? Rough edges like an EntryPointNotFound exception that’ll never go away (but also doesn’t stop running my app)? Support that boils down to a self-help forum with no posts from the app author? Heck, yeah. It’s got those too. If it were billed as a xaml-only UI mocking tool and didn’t try to do anything else, concentrating on doing that well (or just console logs and reads. really any subset of a full IDE), I’d be game. As is, it’s got Icarus Syndrome. It flew too close to the sun and ended up in the drink. I am encouraged that it’s had a few recent-ish updates. I’m holding out some hope. It’s got so much potential, just waaaay too rough to say it’s followed through..TheSchultzerVersion: 1.4

Impressive app, but needs some polishMy full time job is iOS development using Xamarin, and when I first downloaded this app, I was impressed with how well it worked. However, after using it a bit more, there's definitely some room for improvement. The app works well enough that I still recommend it to friends and co-workers, but I have a pretty long list of things that bug me. Almost all of them are related to convenience when editing code, but they add up: Editing: • Highlighting code and pressing tab replaces all of the code with a tab character, rather than indenting it. Similarly, pressing shift+tab doesn't unindent code. • Pressing delete at the end of an empty line doesn't delete the line. It starts deleting the whitespace instead. • Cmd + / doesn't comment and uncomment code. • Undo almost always just destroys your code, turning it into an awful mess. You're better off just manually undoing a change in most cases. Code Completion: • Neither tab nor space accepts code completion. This is more of a personal preference, but something more customizable and similar to real IDEs would be nice. • Pressing the up and down arrow keys on a keyboard doesn't navigate through the list of code completions. • There's no way to dismiss the code completions (that I'm aware of). Project Management: • There's no easy way to share projects between devices. Something like Git would be amazing. I believe the developer said they couldn't add Git integration because it was against the App Store Guidelines, but I don't believe that case. Running user-provided code should be perfectly acceptable (similar to Swift Playgrounds). The only time that downloading code isn't okay is when it completely changes the app's behavior and intended purpose. • The organization of projects and files is still a little weird. Perhaps it's just because I'm not familiar with it yet, but it's quite different from any other app I've used on both macOS and iOS. • There's no easy way to reference existing projects that I've found. This limits the abilities of this app a bit, but I don't know that it's really essential. All in all, don't get me wrong. This app is great and it's quite easy to work with. I like using it when I want to test something quick, or when I want to teach friends about C#, Xamarin, UIKit, etc. There just happen to be quite a few areas where small changes could introduce substantial improvements in usability..Ryanp.meVersion: 1.2

Runs well, but there is room for improvementIs this app still being supported? There seems to be a new bug since the iOS 11 release. (It was present under iOS 11 beta also) When pasting in code that is not at the end-of-file the app crashes. Some of the other iOS 11 features (Drag-n-Drop text) would be nice to have also..TrinityravenVersion: 1.0.1

Good tool, but doesn't support Console.ReadLine()This is a great tool, but I can't use Console.ReadLine(). I can't input ANY letters! Please add INPUT FEATURE in Console!.N30gu1Version: 1.2

Good, but abandonedLike other reviewers have mentioned, this has so much potential but seems to be abandoned by the developer. He basically pulled off a miracle by getting a real .Net / Xamarin IDE working on the iPad, and I was very excited about it. But an IDE is something that needs constant updating. Just thinking of the low-hanging fruit, it needs: additional libraries integrated, access to nuGet, connection with Github, Xamarin updated to the newest version, better integration with Visual Studio, and basic code editor improvements. More long term, it could use a visual editor for Xamarin forms. Best case scenario would be if MS bought this app and renamed it “Visual Studio Mobile.” Then some developers would actually be updating it..Ky0teVersion: 1.1.1

Impressive StartI really like where this is going. Having used it to write some simple F# samples, I can say it works reliably. But there are many clear shortcomings for my use cases. First is the noisy warnings and errors. I understand that some people want to turn these settings up to 11 but when you're just working on a small concept, getting giant annotations that something lacks equality comparison is not useful and leads to all sorts of unnecessary annotations for small scripts and libraries. Second, the editor ties into the system's keyword replacement system. I have and use many shortcuts to make basic typing easier as well as gaining quick access to extended symbols. This is a problem for many of my shortcuts which I've had to remove on iOS, including one that would turn -> into a unicode arrow. This is great for regular prose but is not syntactically acceptable in F#. It'd be great to have these disabled. Finally, the UI should allow hiding the sidebar so the focus can remain on the code... there are probably many things that could be tried with the UI but generally with coding I like to hide most of it. Anyway, this is definitely a great app. I like that it supports F# out of the box and will likely keep using it. Just keep in mind that it is still a bit rough in some areas. I hope to see future releases addressing these things and definitely don't regret my purchase..CararemixedVersion: 1.0.1

If you want F# on iPad, this is your answer!I know the app can do C#, but I specifically wanted to write F# code on my new iPad pro (with keyboard). As an F# IDE, this app exceeds all my expectations. I can't remember the last time I wrote a review, but this app is so good that I had to. I don't know what else to say other than if you want to do F# (or C#) development on your iPad, buy this app immediately! :) In fact, if this app were available for Windows/Mac, I would buy it for those platforms as well. As an "F# newbie", the continuous compilation and display of results is invaluable. This app gets my HIGHEST recommendation!.Hatman70Version: 1.0.1

Dang!Dropped all the iOS pieces of a shared project solution into the Continuous sandbox via iTunes, just to see what trouble I could stir up. The references to .shproj files were not picked-up. That's fine - instead I kept those where they were but created links to their files (I have done this for projects where I wanted to see all [partial class, etc.] code files listed in one project branch, so no biggy..) and that worked great! Double-plus-good for linked code files. Alas I use "#if __IOS__" blocks a fair amount, and those defines/symbols apparently didn't survive the trip, so that ended that quick experiment. If this project of mine weren't knee deep in compiler symbols I would take one more crack at Continuous after some tweaking, for this particular code... Given the complexity of compilers and IDEs and all their modern additions I had no illusions that a one-hacker-shop would get a Xamarin solution project working 100% in iOS right off the bat. And right now, with a little more code isolation, I can get typical/normal/real work done on my big iPad for larger projects done on my Mac. How cool is that?!.PapaRavenVersion: 1.0.1

Finally! And WOW!I saw the announcement for this in my CodeProject newsletter. I read the post it was linked to and promptly bought it. I did so because I have been waiting for years for something like this! I didn't even care if it was mediocre, I just want the developer to know I support him and his efforts. I gave this a spin and quickly found it to be sufficient to do a number of things I routinely do for my work. This isn't a full replacement for my Visual Studio IDE, but it is a supplement that will make the choice of leaving the laptop at home more common. Thank you so very much for this! If I had one wish, it would be to add support for Asp.net web app projects. Thank you again. I look forward to continued updates and features. You are awesome!.JpadotVersion: 1.0

Want to give more stars, but silence for support...I very much want this to be the best way of being able to play with .Net code while I am away from home or work. All the simple examples seem to work great. Finally got to loading some libraries I want to use on a regular basis, one being a geohash class. Continuous keeps throwing an exception at a line of code where none exists, the code run fine in Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio. I have posted a bug to their bug tracking software for 3 weeks and have not gotten a single response from the developer. While I understand they may be busy, at least some acknowledgement that they will be looking into it and I would actually be happy. But silence for this long is not giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling of how well this app will be supported going forward. Again, for many things it does work fine, hence the 3 stars, but for many things I need to do I need that class running (at least for the next 6 months to year) and lack of any response from support loses 2 stars..HeyAndy1stVersion: 1.0.1

Great app, needs one key featureDon’t get me wrong, this app is amazing, and works very well, but one thing it needs that prevents me from giving it a five star rating, is a drag and drop storyboard editor, like how it works in visual studio for pc, i know it’s a lot to ask for, and maybe you’re already working on it, but once it’s added, I’ll add 1 star to my review, and if you can add NuGet support, I’ll add one more star.FreshlyCrackedGamesVersion: 1.1.1

Continuous .NET C# and F# IDE Negative Reviews

So much potential.This app would be amazing if it wasn't abandoned. You'll spend more time trying to program around their bugs then actually being productive or learning. Right now I'm trying convert a character into a string, but because of an internal error on their end I'm going to have to figure out some convoluted way to do it rather than just typing c.ToString(). It also would be more productive if pressing tab auto filled the currently highlighted term instead of having to either tap on it or type it out. If the developer ever returns, this is easily a 5 star app. Such a shame..Oh BillyVersion: 1.0.1

Great app but no supportThis app is pretty good but the are some issues especially with reading from the console or asking for user input. My main issue is the developer seems to have abandon support for the app. Questions get asked in the forums with no answer..Ltjohn25Version: 1.2

Abandoned by devTaking a course on variables, can’t even run a simple console window that functions. When I run the following code pasted below, on my pc... using VB, it allows me to type in my name in the console window to test it out. Can’t do that here with this worthless IDE. Lazy dev here was more interested in making look pretty with a cute UI. If there was passion behind this then why.. 1) Doesn’t allow me to do something as simple as typing into the console window when hitting play to test my course variables, very simplistic stuff. App totally disregards my inputs in console window. 2) I can’t even complete my course studies on here because of this trash dev abandonment. 3) Dear programming student, hobbyist.. go check online for a compiler on there. This dev, abandoned Continous. 4) No update in 7 months. These are old reviews, when this worthless IDE, was supposedly, the thing to use. (Probably this trash dev’s forum buddies) he’s supposed to be someone respected and important on there- suure. Anyways, that group looked out, bought his stuff and threw praise. Fake. Basically... If you cannot do something as simple as study on here to get better - I doubt the uses for this IDE in regards to real world uses/productivity. This dev is lazy and hides in silence, so it is, what it is. Hopefully someone comes along releases superior product and forces this trash along with its lazy creator - to permanently... disappear. Yup - I’m upset, this filth cut into my studying my time, I spent hours thinking it was me messing up, so I spent along time trying to figure out what I did wrong. Until I found out, it’s this trash dev app. Time I will never get back. Bottomline = trash dev, I look forward to him disappearing from the App Store. namespace Variables { public class App { public static void Main(string[] args) { /* int x; int y; x = 7; y = x + 3; Console.WriteLine(y); Console.ReadLine(); */ Console.WriteLine("What is your name?"); Console.Write("Type your first name: "); string myFirstName; myFirstName = Console.ReadLine(); string myLastName; Console.Write("Type your last name: "); myLastName = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Hello, " + myFirstName + " " + myLastName); Console.ReadLine(); } } }.Lost in TacticsVersion: 1.2

Gets the job done I guess.Honestly the only reason I’m using this PAID app is because on the iPad c# IED’s are few and far between. This app really doesn’t take advantage of being on the iPad at all switching between your programs feels clunky, there’s no auto complete to any basic syntax, little to no customization to be found. If you have no other choice and are invested in c# then it’s useable, but if you can use visual studio or anything else I’d recommend that..Look kid122Version: 1.4

Nice Start no Support or Progress...One star for creating it, another for the potential. The problem is that there appears to be no support and no way to transfer your code off of the iPad or iPhone that you write the code on. The application desperately needs to support Dropbox or something similar for exchange of files, or support for Git. A nice start, but it desperately needs some fundamentals to make it worth while. I do not mind paying a premium for an application that is unique with limited audience, but there needs to be a support model that shows Continuous development..SchneiderISVersion: 1.0.1
