Continuous .NET C# and F# IDE

After exhaustive trying I can confirm this app doesn’t work anymore, at all, it crashes instantly on first load no matter how many times you reinstall it.

/* I personally only review apps truthfully, and only if I believe that they really, REALLY deserve it. When I do, I try really hard to do them justice. This is the most effort I’ve ever put in. I spent a few days writing this review on and off throughout my first week of using this app and learning C# in order to properly convey how good it is. */ Genuinely wish there was a better way for me to show my respect than just 5 stars. It’s an incredible app that works flawlessly (My later gripes are just that, gripes, and aren’t functionality issues). The ability to code in C# OR F#, WITHOUT WIFI, ON AN IPAD! It even gives you the all the file types, templates, and the Console and IOS App options. I was shocked at how easy it was to follow along with C# tutorials taught on Visual Studios, even though I was using an iPad app, and I am so grateful for the different font options and dark mode. This is such a great thing to have. Worth the $20 if you want to learn C# or F#, code it on the go, or just like to have a portable option. Please know that I have my gripes (doesn’t everyone), but I’m sure that there’s hope for a remedy, so here goes: A) The “Show Code Completion” Setting is annoying. It can be very frustrating when I type to declare a variable or class or something, hit ENTER to move to a new line, and then the Code Completion corrects my code to something I didn’t want instead. I am aware that there is a setting to turn off the Code Completion, and I’m not asking to remove it as an optional thing, however, every time I reopen the app after closing it, this is the only setting which doesn’t always stay how I left it. Regardless of how it was when I last closed the app, I can reopen Continuous any amount of time later (1 second, an hour, 12 hours) and it will be back in the on position, and I’d love it if you could fix that please. B) The lines “KeyCode == Keys.——“ and “——_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)” (basically any key related code) don’t exist in the app as far as I can tell (And yes, this is when using the App.xaml.cs file type). I understand that most users will not have a keyboard, but these lines should still be implemented in my opinion, as some do have a Bluetooth keyboard (myself included). It would also be nice if you could implement some kind of toggleable touchscreen keyboard/mouse under the watch window when fullscreened for those who don’t have a Bluetooth set. C) I’d also love to see designated undo / redo

This app is fantastic, but I’m stuck trying to use NUnit. It's missing a method, maybe the dll/lib is broken, but I don’t quite know where to get or paste the latest NUnitLite library.

I REALLY love this app. I would love to see it go further. So Here are some things that must be fixed: 1. Backspace does not work in the console. Some optional things that i would love to see: Cannot change the font size of the console. One can always enter text into the console even when there is no prompt. When one uses the app horizontally it splits the screen making it really annoying on iPhone. Would love to see a bash terminal built into the app allowing for massive potential, e.g, working with Git and GitHub, Nuget plugins and it just makes sense as it is how we do it on the computer. Line numbers would be great. Collapsible objects in the code editor would be great also. Thank you very much, hopefully i’ll see these in the next realease 👍

If you’re a .NET developer who wants to actually write and run the code directly on your mobile device, worth real-time execution, Continuous is all that and more. I went from VB.NET on Windows desktop to Continuous C# on iPad Pro with no prior knowledge of Xamarin namespaces but had a great little app up and running over one weekend. Superbly done.

This app has really nice code completion and all that, the best of the best. It’s an almost perfect IDE, however it suffers from one critical flaw - it does not support the iOS Files app. This is unfortunate, since apps like “Working Copy” don’t see the modified files and therefore you can’t commit the modifications :( Would like to see this fixed in a future update, and will change my rating to 5*!

Still fumbling around as I’m still learning c# however the fact this app exists is just brilliant. I carry my iPad Pro with me all the time and this has allowed me to break free of carrying a laptop and moving to a truely mobile world. Would love to see Cpp added in a future version however for now it’s brilliant.

I guess you have to waste your money to find out you can’t have custom delegates. Maybe I am missing something but the code from Visual Studio doesn’t work unless you use EventHandler. Useless. Money wasted.

I 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.

A 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.
