User Reviews

Igneous IDE is appreciated for helping beginners and students code Java on Android with a user-friendly interface and project management. However, users report significant drawbacks including lack of maintenance, bugs such as persistent running processes, missing key features like find/replace and file organization, and essential UI settings locked behind paywalls, which hinder advanced use and user experience. Overall, it serves well as an entry-level Java IDE on mobile but requires improvements and bug fixes to fulfill its potential.

Pros

Helpful for computer science students without a laptop to learn Java programming.
Good IDE features suitable for beginners with basic coding and error catching capabilities.
Interface is visually appealing and has a cool, modern design.
Supports Java program execution, including database connectivity in some cases.
Offers project and class creation with tooltips that help navigate the app.

Cons

Lacks maintenance since late 2022 leading to unresolved bugs and errors like stuck running processes.
Missing essential features such as find and replace, file reorganization, and moving files between packages.
Some basic functionalities like font size adjustment, dark mode, and landscape mode are limited or require paid add-ons.
Premium tier locks basic features like fonts, themes, and text settings behind paywalls.
Confusing UX with unclear onboarding and limited instructions for new users; some basic operations like creating new files need payment.

Dead project. It was promising at the beginning and it had lots of potential, but it was not maintained since end of 2022. There are bugs and errors that no one seems to care about. Some processes are running without stop, auto complete suggests ridiculous options. Too bad.
