[Runtime Note]
This is not Visual Studio or Windows.
This app runs on Android and is subject to some of the OS limitations.
Hence Windows only technologies can't work on Android at all.
This includes WPF, UWP, Windows Forms, Windows API and all libraries dependent on it.
Also note that the Mono version for Android doesn't have System.Drawing as it was deemed redundant due to Android.Graphics.

Your device requires free storage of at least 1 GB to properly install, even though the app takes up only about 350MB.

[System requirements]
In addition this application runs everything locally and may not run well on devices with for example 1 GB of RAM a 1.0 GHZ CPU with 4 cores.
2 GB RAM and 2 GHZ x 4 should run well.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic app, and for only 3 quid I can no get some coding ideas done on the loo, in the bath, in bed. I'm almost using it like dotNet fiddle. Had a blast this eve making a xamarim app. Deducted 1* because some GUI / UX issues. In landscape mode keyboard jumps over screen. Switching app and return gives error and keyboard shortcut bar disappears and some choppy behaviour in the menus but amazing app. Buy it.

This app is amazing. It has a lot of free advanced features for a mobile app and does not charge for the amount of compiles you can do. It also allows NuGet packages to be installed. The only annoying thing which is not worth lowering my rating is that when entering parentheses, brackets, etc... you have to move the caret after the closing ones manually, unless you didn't add anything between them.

I Really love this app. In the first week I made a simple text based game that is small but fun. It's such a great way to practice your codeing skills on the go. I use it during breaks and stuff to learn how to do things. It's also surprisingly powerful! There are some glitches I have found due to my system. It freezes but most annoyingly sometimes it overwrites my main project .cs file with anthor file. But overall a very awesome complier!
