Description

The classic Bash programming language for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Programming language is a perfect tool for studying, complex mathematical calculation, entertainment and many other useful tasks. The application is especially useful for learning the Bash programming language. You have to buy compilations inside the application. Internet connection is required. - The great programming tool on the AppStore. - Your programming language for iOS is amazing! * FEATURES * - Compile and run your program. - Text input before program run and text output. - Enhanced source code editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, color themes and additional keyboard. - Online language reference and several program samples. * LIMITATIONS * - Internet connection is required to compile and run a program. - Graphics, network, file system and real-time input are not supported. - Maximum running time of a program is 15 seconds. Thanks for using the application! ==================================== Bash is a "Unix shell": a command-line interface for interacting with the operating system. It is widely available, being the default shell on many GNU/Linux distributions and on Mac OS X; and ports exist for many other systems. It was created in the late 1980s by a programmer named Brian Fox, working for the Free Software Foundation. It was intended as a free-software alternative to the Bourne shell (in fact, its name is an acronym for "Bourne-again shell"), and it incorporates all features of that shell, as well as new features such as integer arithmetic and in-process regular expressions. In addition to the interactive mode, where the user types one command at a time, with immediate execution and feedback, Bash (like many other shells) also has the ability to run an entire script of commands, known as a "Bash shell script" (or "Bash script" or "shell script" or just "script"). A script might contain just a very simple list of commands — or even just a single command — or it might contain functions, loops, conditional constructs, and all the other hallmarks of imperative programming. In effect, a Bash shell script is a computer program written in the Bash programming language. Shell scripts can be called from the interactive command-line described above; or, they can be called from other parts of the system. One script might be set to run when the system boots up; another might be set to run every weekday at 2:30 AM; another might run whenever a user logs into the system. Shell scripts are commonly used for many system administration tasks, such as performing disk backups, evaluating system logs, and so on. They are also commonly used as installation scripts for complex programs. They are particularly suited to all of these because they allow complexity without requiring it: if a script just needs to run two external programs, then it can be a two-line script, and if it needs all the power and decision-making ability of a Turing-complete imperative programming language, then it can have that as well.

  • NOT Bash for your iOS device

    By Mike Schinkel
    This app lets you run a Bash script, yeah, though not on your iOS device but on a remote computer. So if you want to learn basic Bash to run on other computers okay, but if you want Bash to explore your iPhone or iPad, this is not it. The developer really should make that clear, but AFAICT they do not.

  • Seems Like A Come On

    This lets you run a BASH script, once, and then you have to pay $2.99. There’s no way to even begin to see what it can do, because it’s a one trick pony, until you pay up. Perhaps it’s ok for testing shell scripts, but there doesn’t seem to be any real BASH capabilities, from what I can tell. It’s just a way to run some scripts, but without access to anything except a script editor and a “compiler”, there’s not much use in having it.

  • Non useful preview of functionality

    Doesn't let you even run a script once without paying. Five free runs minimum (10 or 20 would be better) would be reasonable. Offering a "free" app that does nothing unless you pay is, I'm sorry to say, deceptive. Loosen up a bit, developer. I appreciate that a ton of work goes into app development. But I'd rather be asked to pay to download at all or be given a chance to try the app's functionality within reason before paying. [EDIT: it runs interpretation through a remote server--so it can't be used offline, and isn't really an emulator? No.]

  • Not actually free

    By joshs474
    Claims to be a free app, but you have to pay for compilations. You get ONE compilation, who most will use to run the default script. Make it a 2.99 app, and get unlimited compilations

  • It’s not free at all.

    Not even a little bit. It’s $3. Free to install but $3 if you want to use it. The bait and switch turned me off to this app completely.

  • Slimy all around

    By bobotay
    You have 1 (ONE) free compilation, which I assume the average person will use immediately upon opening the app to run the sample script, and he will only discover later that he has 0 left. This is what happened to me. Furthermore, this is not a bash interpreter. There’s no shell, it’s a text editor that can send your script to a server that has a bash runner. This is evidenced by the fact that it needs internet to run. Very slimy. Edit: more things. I see that another reviewer had the same experience about the trial. The dev responded, “just buy unlimited compilations.” Well dimitry, just mark the app as $2.99 like it actually is!!

  • So far, good app, a couple suggestions

    The app is all around good, though, I would like to be able to test the build/compile feature before I commit money to the app. I understand the dev needs money to support the app, but, it is difficult for me to put money into something that may not work for me. Second, the app needs cloud support, allow me to store my files in the cloud, and access them across devices. Don’t always have my tablet on me, and it would be useful to access my scripts from my phone.

  • I’d love to give real feedback

    By miaklw
    I use vscode to write bash scripts and had an idea for one so I searched the App Store and saw this , it looks like a passable editor with highlight which is cool , but I really can’t give any more feedback as the app doesn’t really let you try full functionality ? Maybe give people a few freebies ? Or maybe put ads and make the “unlimited compiles an option ? People are way less likely to buy something they can’t put through its paces or twice in. I work in cars sales , butts on seats and feet on pedals , sell metal.

  • Terrible junk app

    1
    By The Impeccable Reviewer
    I got this app and the example script worked. Therefore, I thought that this app actually worked and that it was really good. After I bought the $2.99 subscription and edited the script, the script wouldn’t compile and run. The output stated that I needed to check my internet connection but there was NOTHING wrong with my internet connection! My program would NOT compile and it would NOT run. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! IT IS A TOTAL SCAM!

  • The developer is entitled to make a little money

    By Robajit
    Dmitri is entitled to some compensation for all of the hard work and hours he put into this so called free app. I agree that he needs to give 5-10 free compilations, if only to get the customer hooked on using it otherwise people walk away. This is a good learning tool and I came here to test out some concepts while commuting to the office. But if I don’t get any value first, I’m not forking over any money to find out later if I will be “nickeled and dimed” or not.
