Description
A complete, C# / .NET IDE that runs on your Android device — no server, no emulator, no PC required. Write, compile, and run real .NET assemblies with the CoreCLR, right where you're standing.
[Editor] - C# 12+ editor with syntax highlighting and Roslyn-powered IntelliSense - Real-time error checking as you type, plus a code-actions lightbulb with quick fixes and refactorings - Find & replace, multiple editor themes, adjustable font size, invisible characters - NuGet package management, with IntelliSense that refreshes automatically
[Run, debug, test] - Console apps and full .NET MAUI (GUI) apps - Step-through debugger with a live object inspector - Built-in xUnit test runner and Test Explorer - Export a runnable assembly and pin a home-screen launcher shortcut to it - Build, sign, and install an APK of the app you just wrote
[Projects & source control] - Multi-project solutions (.sln / .slnx) with a Solution Explorer - Dual-pane file manager - Built-in Git: clone, commit, browse history, and a syntax-highlighted side-by-side diff viewer
[AI coding assistant] - Chat with an AI assistant that can read, search, and edit your files, run your code, and call tools through MCP - Choose your backend: an on-device model, Ollama, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible API - Connect your own MCP servers for extra tools
[Learn] - Built-in code examples and practice tasks
[Free with optional Premium] The app is free to use and shows ads. A one-time Premium purchase removes them.
[Runtime Note] This is not Visual Studio or Windows. This app runs on Android and is subject to some of the OS limitations. Hence Windows-only technologies can't work on Android at all. This includes WPF, UWP, Windows Forms, the Windows API, and all libraries dependent on them.
Your device requires free storage of at least 1 GB to properly install, even though the app takes up only about 350MB.
This app runs a full .NET runtime and compiler on your device, so it needs real memory. - Minimum: 3 GB RAM. Below this the system can easily close the app to reclaim memory. - Recommended: 6 GB RAM or more, and a 2 GHz 8-core CPU. Required for smooth functionality without freezes or the system running out of memory. Running a MAUI or ASP.NET Core app you have written starts a second process, which increases memory use.

Very fun to make a Xamarin app in for fun while relaxing on holiday and not at PC

I personally think this is the best app for coding on the android platform and recommend it to anyone who wants to code on Android or other devices for that reason am I giving it a five-star rating.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love this app. I've been using it for several years now, and I've created many useful applications. Some of the very useful features are that you can use the nuget package manager, add references and export assemblies.
★★★★★Jameel Siddiq· Sep 26, 2025
Extremely pleased with this for a number of reasons :- Very good IDE and interface Intelligence the ability to create not just an APK but a signed APK, which didn't require you to change the settings to install, unlike some other programs I have used in the past The Developer has done an excellent job on this.

It constantly adds a using statement for the main Program. Example using Namespace. Program please fix. It would also be nice to not lose projects when doing an update.
★★☆☆☆Stop Asking· Jan 5, 2026
Probably a great app overall! Code completion is a must-have for me, however I can not load apps - the pop-up days "Can not obtain a JavaScript engine". I have a screenshot and can get logs, just let me know how. Also, System. Drawing. Bitmap is missing, what's up with that? Was not able to start codong what I wanted so two stars. I will fix the review stars after resolving the issue, certainly.

I've experienced lots of bugs and errors of system. When the previous program runs, and tried to run another program it will run the previous program you created. Delayed and crashed system. Hoping that this issues get fixed on the next update
