Ratings and reviews

It's good but not great. The syntax highlightings suck. When I'm putting a single long obfuscated line in Lua (of course) on a print code it supposedly deobfuscates the code. I checked the obfuscated script, nothing seems to be wrong, a string color is green which that this syntax highlight show me. And when I runned it has error. So I missed the slashes(/ or \). Please improve the syntax highlighting, it will help us alot. And also add Luarocks so we can access APIs(i think).

lacks documentation and certain features are nonfunctional. io.read() doesn't work like input() does on pydroid and it throws errors on valid code when you use it absolutely zero docs to be found online so you are stuck with a piece of buggy software and you you had better be sure i definitely won't buy the full version after this.

This app is extremely good. It opened me to programming in general. Has everything you need in an IDE. Would be cool if the terminal supported truecolor though.
