Pythonista 3

I started using this app when I was 12 on my iPad that I had as a kid. The app is amazing, and has custom modules that let you control your device and create custom apps and such. It’s got UI modules, full access to documentation, and all the normal python modules. Even better, it works entirely offline. This app singlehandly allowed me to program things when and where I wanted, and allowed me to become a skilled programmer getting a degree in computer science. As far as mobile IDEs go, it’s the absolute best. In addition, there’s a community that creates tons of incredible programs that enhance the IDE, such as GitHub support, and even a fully functional bash terminal complete with pip so that you can install your own custom modules. It really is the best app on iOS for programming, and I would recommend it to anybody looking to try out programming. It’s well worth it’s price tag.

I’m a full time developer and I don’t know what I would do without Pythonista. For one, twice a week I go to our local hospital for my allergy shot. I have to sit there for 30 minutes after the shot. With Pythonista, I bring my iPad and I can keep on working on my Python apps that I’m creating. I get tired sitting at the computer. I can head over to the couch to sit with my pups, but on Big Bang Theory, and keep on working. Go outside on nice day, sit at the patio table and keep on programming. One one request. I know a lot of people prefer Git. I hate Git now that Microsoft purchased it. I use OpenSource Fossil. It would be GREAT to have the feature to be able to clone a repository using Fossil. I know there are a lot more people using Git. But, finger crossed if you add the feature, one more people would be aware how fantastic Fossil is and might start using and supporting OpenSource Fossil. Thanks in advance for any consideration on the Fossil feature!

I love Pythonista, and have been using it for about 7 months now. It is as full featured as I could possibly hope for it to be (perhaps more so as it is on iOS and I am pretty stunned at how well it works while being locked down in a secured, chroot’d, containerized environment OS) and it allows for many third party plugins written by members of the community hoping to add more features to an already feature rich environment. There are MANY different places to seek a helping hand if you get lost or need assistance, and the developer is quite responsive, both via email support and on the OMZ forums. It may seem like a steep price for an app, but I honestly could only be more pleased if the app were opened up a bit more to allow API access from all different web services I use, but that is an Apple limitation and not something that the developer of this app is in control of, so it really is as good as it can be. If you’re a Python dev or even just dabbling and aspiring to become one, the is the program for you. The included features, help documentation, tutorials, and the help of the OMZ development team and the supporting community that frequents the forums really help to make this application the best, most useful that I have invested in since my first iPhone 4 introduced me to apps in the iOS App Store. Stop reading reviews, look how many 5 star ratings it has, buy this app, and start writing something amazing. You’ll get looks of disbelief when people hear that you developed and tested a good majority of your amazing application on an iPad or iPhone lol. You really will not be disappointed! 🤯
