Ratings and Reviews
Well…
I got the app thinking it was the best thing in the world, all the libraries you could ever want, info about each one, all in the easiest scripting language I have ever come across, and cheap to say the least.
After trying my first program, a game called “FreakOut!”, I was sad to find out the graphics didn’t work correctly, and later seen that the audio library had errors also.
If touch lua is fixed I’ll use it every day, but poking around the forum it doesn’t look like this will ever happen.
So much for getting high hopes.

Really good
Hardly crashes, compiles fast, all around is a good app. There are a few people giving bad ratings because of autocomplete, this is stupid, the app has tap to complete under the text, and even if you don’t use that option, any good programmer should be able to type a few extra letters.
Crash on startup :(
Used to work wonderfully on my old iPhone 8, but crashes on startup after I transferred to an iPhone 11. I tried restarting my device, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the app (which probably cleared all of my data), but nothing worked. Hope this gets fixed soon, this was one of my favorite apps and I used to love making small text-based games.
