## Description

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.

## Review summary

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).
