Bash Programming Language

It’s bash! On the go!

The app does not work. Any command execution takes about 5 sec and always displaying ‘prog.sh’. Removing from iPad.

This app lets you run a Bash script, yeah, though not on your iOS device but on a remote computer. So if you want to learn basic Bash to run on other computers okay, but if you want Bash to explore your iPhone or iPad, this is not it. The developer really should make that clear, but AFAICT they do not.

This lets you run a BASH script, once, and then you have to pay $2.99. There’s no way to even begin to see what it can do, because it’s a one trick pony, until you pay up. Perhaps it’s ok for testing shell scripts, but there doesn’t seem to be any real BASH capabilities, from what I can tell. It’s just a way to run some scripts, but without access to anything except a script editor and a “compiler”, there’s not much use in having it.

Doesn't let you even run a script once without paying. Five free runs minimum (10 or 20 would be better) would be reasonable. Offering a "free" app that does nothing unless you pay is, I'm sorry to say, deceptive. Loosen up a bit, developer. I appreciate that a ton of work goes into app development. But I'd rather be asked to pay to download at all or be given a chance to try the app's functionality within reason before paying. [EDIT: it runs interpretation through a remote server--so it can't be used offline, and isn't really an emulator? No.]

Claims to be a free app, but you have to pay for compilations. You get ONE compilation, who most will use to run the default script. Make it a 2.99 app, and get unlimited compilations

Not even a little bit. It’s $3. Free to install but $3 if you want to use it. The bait and switch turned me off to this app completely.

You have 1 (ONE) free compilation, which I assume the average person will use immediately upon opening the app to run the sample script, and he will only discover later that he has 0 left. This is what happened to me. Furthermore, this is not a bash interpreter. There’s no shell, it’s a text editor that can send your script to a server that has a bash runner. This is evidenced by the fact that it needs internet to run. Very slimy. Edit: more things. I see that another reviewer had the same experience about the trial. The dev responded, “just buy unlimited compilations.” Well dimitry, just mark the app as $2.99 like it actually is!!

The app is all around good, though, I would like to be able to test the build/compile feature before I commit money to the app. I understand the dev needs money to support the app, but, it is difficult for me to put money into something that may not work for me. Second, the app needs cloud support, allow me to store my files in the cloud, and access them across devices. Don’t always have my tablet on me, and it would be useful to access my scripts from my phone.

I use vscode to write bash scripts and had an idea for one so I searched the App Store and saw this , it looks like a passable editor with highlight which is cool , but I really can’t give any more feedback as the app doesn’t really let you try full functionality ? Maybe give people a few freebies ? Or maybe put ads and make the “unlimited compiles an option ? People are way less likely to buy something they can’t put through its paces or twice in. I work in cars sales , butts on seats and feet on pedals , sell metal.
