R Analyst

Вообще

I suggest that people not install this app. One problem is that it creates an association with files with a .txt extension, so if you try to open text files through the Files app, text files open in R Analyst, which means they’ll be unreadable. That’s pretty stupid.

Does not work at all. Wish I could get a refund.

iPhone 14 Pro Max 1. Hard to place the cursor to edit R script. 2. Every time I start to type a change in the script, the viewing window jumps to the top of the script so I can’t see what I’m editing if the line is near the bottom of the script because it’s covered by the keyboard.

I again commend the developer for being the only developer so far on the App Store to port R to iOS. The app runs fast and smoothly and produces great plots. Compared to my review 1 year ago: Improvements: - GUI has been redone and is much easier to read on the iPad; larger and customizable font. Buttons are easy to read and easy to understand what they do. Plotting canvas is movable and resizable. - R has been updated to more modern 4.2.1 version - R scripts can now be stored anywhere on the iPad as R Analyst accesses the iOS Files app Disappointments: - Unlike the prior version of R Analyst, the new R Analyst version is set up to be an R IDE: users either enter their own R script in the editor or load an R script stored somewhere on their iPad. After entering or loading the R script, users hit a "Run" button which shows the output of their R script. That is great, but I (and suspect a lot of others users) also rely on the R command line (REPL) to do quick analyses or manipulate files in R. R Analyst no longer comes with a REPL to allow users to enter and quickly run R commands. Hopefully the developer will consider bringing back (or adding on) a REPL to R Analyst. - **There does not appear to be anyway to store or read external data files from R Analyst (e.g. .RData, .txt, or .csv files, etc). This is a major shortcoming of R Analyst as users will expect to use R to process external data. Perhaps I'm missing something in understanding how to use the app, but there doesn't appear to be any "import" button for data (only for R script) and there doesn't appear to be a way programmatically to load data into R's filesystem in the R Analyst app (i.e. can't seem to find how to programmatically change the working directory [setwd()] in R analyst to the R Analyst "documents" folder where perhaps I could read in stored data files). Hopefully the developer will promptly remedy this critical limitation of the app or explain how users are supposed to import external data into R analyst - No documentation instructions for R Analyst. Learning R can be alone challenging for beginning R users; not having any documentation on how to use R Analyst to successfully harness R's power will likely unfortunately dissuade many novice R users from using what would otherwise be a very useful app for running R offline on an iOS mobile device. Hopefully, the developer will also build in basic documentation for R Analyst in the future. Feature Request: I would encourage the d

Very good implementation of R. It is especially useful if you don’t have your laptop and you’re riding the train to the office :)

I like it alot so far. The Tidyverse package doesn't seem to load all the way but for the most great app.

Great app for writing R Script on the go. The ease of use to compile code and the implementation of all function keys are better than any other application in the store today.

Application has basic R functionality but zero assistance for implementing on iPad. No guidance on how to import files stored locally on device. Good basics but you had better be able to crack the underlying file structure of the iPad to get any use out of this app. Wish I could get my money back for this as it is poor.

I'm using this for my online Masters Degree program and it is a great tool for any of the statistical analysis I've tried so far!
