[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

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.

This app is great. I've purchased the full app. But everytime I launch the app, I get the "billing setup Ok" message when im codeing. This should not occur as a foreground process. Also my assumption is that when I'm not connected to the internet, that the full function is disabled. I hope this is not the case, so far it doesn't seem to be. Extremely frustrating.

Okay, so the app is very good and we'll made but I've encountered a couple of major bugs (those might be related to me having an OS not compatible with the app and that's why I'm rating 4 stars) Bug 1- I can't go down a line, the enter key doesn't do anything and in order to go down a line I need to open the copy menu, try to enter the keyboard, close the copy menu and then I can sometimes go down a line. If that doesn't work I need to copy an empty line from somewhere else in the code. Bug 2- after writing a bit of test code I wanted to continue and code for real so I just held the delete key so I can delete everything and start coding from scratch, after deleting about a line and a half the app crashed, then immediately start back again and I was left with the hello world default code. If that would happen to me when I code for real I would lose all of my work. I've seen you are pretty active in responding to these so I'll wait for an answer. good job on the app though, it's very well made. Edit: the bugs are fixed so I'm giving a 5 star score, very good app and amazing developer. Thank you.
