Overview

Features & Capabilities

Write R code directly on mobile devices. Compile and run programs, visualize plots, view output or errors, and edit with syntax highlighting and a custom keyboard for frequent characters. Open, save, import, and share R files, and access thousands of packages from CRAN and Bioconductor.

Note: This is a batch compiler with internet-required compilation, up to 20 seconds per run, and interactive prompts are not supported. Upgrading to Premium removes ads, enables unlimited plots, and allows installing packages.

User Reviews

Pros: It enables running R on iOS, is good for on-the-go testing with quick plots, and includes preinstalled packages with responsive support. Cons: It relies on internet/server execution, has limited file/external data handling, constrained package management, plotting/editing feature gaps, and monetization concerns with ads and a subscription model. Overall, useful for light tasks but not a full mobile R IDE.
Pros
  • Enables running R on iOS (unique option).
  • Handy for on-the-go testing of small scripts with quick plots.
  • Includes useful preinstalled packages.
  • Responsive, helpful developer/support.
Cons
  • Requires internet/server execution; no offline interactivity.
  • Limited file handling and external imports (difficulty opening/saving files from Files/Dropbox).
  • Constrained package management (no GitHub installs; slow downloads/timeouts).
  • Plotting and editor features gaps (ggplot not reliably working; no autocompletion/code suggestions).
  • Monetization and upgrade issues (ads, subscription model, unclear upgrade path).

cannot open files, add files, use packages, or add packages. terrible experience. will stick to using real R on my computer next time.

Decent for an iPad app. It isn’t going to replace rStudio anytime soon, but it works. It’d be nice if there was syntax suggestions to decrease code completion time.
