I have been paying for premium, How can I tell if the premium features work ?
★★★★★Sibusiso Gama· Nov 29, 2024
Awesome ide, been using it for years now with no issues, I'm thinking of paying for subscription

Building a professional-grade app often feels like it requires a massive PC setup and complex software, but here is the big reveal:Droid Script is a powerhouse hidden in plain sight. While it looks like a simple tool for beginners, It’s a common misconception that Droid Script is just for small hobby projects. It makes simple apps incredibly fast to build, its Java Plugin SDK is the "secret weapon" that allows you to scale up to professional-grade applications + its constants updates(👍 -> Devs)

I love this app coz I can practice wherever or whenever I want, and it builds really fast. It's actually superfast. The problem is the ui coz I don't know how to access my assets. For now 4 star only. I hope the team would change the ui into more begginer friendly like me who just start learning JS
★★★★☆Kurt Harry Acquiat· Jan 19, 2025
It's pretty much a great app for prototyping and writing web code on the go. One problem for me, though, is how clunky it feels when dealing with the editor since I've been spoiled with advanced ones (Ace and Sora) and would recommend for an improvement if possible :)
★☆☆☆☆Jack Burnell· Jul 5, 2024
This is the crappiest junk I've seen in my 45 years of programming. The help is simplistic and when you look up support the answer is always "buy premium, and it will work". Run some code, end it, it jumps back to the opening screen, not the editor. Forget a}? Tells you there's an error at line n.then jumps to the welcome screen. . Want to read or write a file to a publicly accessible folder like DCIM? Won't do it. All files go in /Android/data/... where unless rooted, you can't use

This is not worth for subscription You just create an app and nothing To distribute you have no way only to share apk manually to someone. This app is not for Uploading your app on play store! Right. Because when you create an app using Droid script And go to upload on Play store You will get losts warning. Droid script should team continuously updated it. I don't see any apps even, which is made with DS and still is on Play store. Because after uploading your app will remove. You can't upload.
