Ratings and reviews

Its default syntax highlighting is good, but not great. I think there's some syntaxes that this app doesn't support that the actual Python supports or it is just the version that this IDE uses. I've also encountered a bug where my font size is set to 14. And whenever this app auto indents it indents to 16 spaces according to code editor by Rhythm Software. If you don't wanna encounter this, with the current version of mine(3.2.0), set the font size to default. I'm also changing to Code Editor.

Finally an app with everything you need to just grab your phone and continue reviewing your projects or just code something to try or whatever. You have the editor page, the console to test the program's output, a section to open any file in your storage and open projects which basically opens a folder, same as Vscode. Also you have an interpreter and a terminal. All these options are very comfortable to access. They are on the same line at the bottom of the screen. For me, the best one.

10 minutes play around, but no obvious ( at least to me) way to add python libraries, eg numpy. Makes it worthless except as extremely limited learning environment. This is so basic that I can't help feeling I've missed something...but someone else had that same comments a year ago.
