Gambit REPL

Boy was I excited to find this app! Sadly though, it's hardly usable. The special buttons don't fit on screen if you have set text size in iOS to >normal.

Please fix the bug in the BlueTooth keyboard where it sees a double quote as some UTC code other than the double quote. It is not convenient to use the onscreen key to quote strings when using a keyboard. I have the Logitech Logi keyboard.

The custom keyboard that comes with this build of gambit-c is very useful, making most needed keys readily available. However, the file editor is rather awkward and basic, and the REPL is far more primitive than what comes with PC builds. If you want to try the Scheme language on your desktop or laptop, definitely try out Gambit; it is one of the most well known and mature implementations and has a great interactive REPL. This mobile version was disappointing.

This new release has fixed crashes on 64bit devices. It now works great on my iPad. Thank you.

Unfortunately the 7.0 update no longer runs in iOS 8. The app crashes immediately upon opening on both an iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2. Looking forward to seeing the new features-- hope an update is quickly forthcoming!

Would be way better if there were ways to (1) get sensor data and (2) networking connections out

This is a superb application for running the programming language SCHEME! It is well constructed, efficient, and a great learning utility! I would gladly give it a lot more stars than 5 if I could get away with it! Gordon Wilson

Nice app but it seems to be stuck in the iPhone 4 era, displaying black bars on top and bottom on my iPhone 5 screen. I'm hoping for an update because the extra screen real estate would be very helpful especially in an app like this.

Best programming app I have used on iphone/itouch. Any plans to port Jazz Scheme? Since you ported Gambit, you'd probably be the best person to port the rest of Jazz Scheme. You could probably use existing X server app for the GUI stuff. Just a suggestion to make a really good app a great app.

updated review: this is a nice toy, with the rich scheme functionality, but the interface is clumsy. Youhave to depend on the cut and paste to import files, the file editor is primitive, and I have trouble with cut and paste in the REPL window. Does this app work in iOS7? I want to upgrade from iOS6 and I like this enough to want to keep this. The App site does not say specifically that this works under iOS7, or not.
