Pyto IDE

I bought Pyto, full version, for €0.00 in 2019 and used it for years without any problems. This year, for health reasons, I did not use it. I just tried to use it again but the app gives me a screen asking me to either buy, try three days for free, or do a restore. So I choose restore and nothing happens. If I restart Pyto, this screen no longer appears and I see all my scripts but the run button does not execute anything. An idea?

Pyto could be a very good replacement for Pythonista, which seems to have its development stalled. However, while Pyto adopts some newer functionalities in iOS (widgets, good support for shortcuts, etc), the app itself is still very rough around the edges and still has quite a way to go before it reaches the level of maturity and user friendliness of Pythonista. Looking at the version history, I’m surprised it’s already at version 13 (but that in itself doesn’t say much, of course). There are some very interesting ideas and concepts, showing a lot of promise. It’s a shame I can only do the trial once, because as it stands now, the app (at least for me personally) isn’t worth the asking price at the moment, due to number of bugs and UI issues still present.

Skip my misadventure of downloading 5 of these useless “IDE”s, and just get the Replit app, which has all of the NORMAL functionality you would expect from an IDE, like being able to ~log in~ with GitHub, THEN has additional functionalities that are worth paying premium for, rather than being expected to pay Premium for being “allowed” to access a free, industry-standard, community-developed resource?!?! Like you’re going to catch most of us paying to be “allowed” to access a terminal, a technology that is so old it wouldn’t even be covered by patent anymore, just so we can import our AR, VR, AI, and eye tracking libraries for apps we’re making for devices that these capabilities are now becoming the standard for. The same devices that we can code on faster than a PC just using thumb swiping and predictive text, without getting carpal tunnel, let alone once that is paired with device standard AI that has hours of personalization training every day learning our individual behaviors on those devices to make these types of tasks second natur Ya’ll need to get so FFR right now. This business model is over.

After installing the app and trying it out for an hour my phone froze up and I had to hard reboot it. I saw another review of someone saying the same thing so it’s not just me. Also you can’t install most Python packages since they are blocked by Apple so this is only useful for basic Python scripts.

It says the app is free, but the only thing that’s free is a 3 day trial. After that, it costs money.😡

Annoyed I sprung for the full version. It would be a great app if it actually worked. Main issues were: navigating the text editor with arrow keys doesn't work at all. Environment gets borked after a few runs from different directories. Issues finding modules in a package that were previously in use.

Now can run python scripts from all Apple devices. Works great. Better than any other python IDE’s I’ve tried. Amazing!

I was searching for a app like this with ai and was told that this app was free it isn’t? I asked why it says I need a trial and the response was. “I apologize for the confusion. It seems there may be a trial version available that requires a purchase, but the basic functionality of Pyto should still be free to use. I recommend checking the app store or contacting the developer for more information on the pricing options.”

App will constantly freeze up, crash, then delete your last 5 minutes of work. Don’t bother trying to use multitasking, nothing is saved, the stop button at times is unresponsive, and while deleting if you spam the key a few times and end up going to the line above it tends (not always) to crash, holding the button instead hasn’t had this issue… yet. When it works though it’s great, I wouldn’t even mind the occasional crashing if I didn’t lose my data. Maybe make auto save more aggressive or let me save manually. Until then this is a cool tool for small scripts, but anything big is gonna give you a headache

I purchased the app before. When I try to use it, it asks me for the purchase again! Very scammy practice
