FINALLY

I've been waiting for a Lua console for a long time. I do some Lua scripting for a game, now I can use Lua on the go. Thanks for making this.
Good learning tool

It is good to have an easy-to-reach platform for testing ideas while reading the documentation. But as a beginner, I often make mistakes. This app would be improved by being able to recall commands to the entry line for easier correction and retries.
Decent

Using new iPad, the landscape view doesn't work properly still: i.e., the keyboard is still portrait oriented while in landscape mode. Rate button doesn't seem to work from within the application.
Don't bother

Zero to no documentation on how to actually use the console, and doesn't actually allow you to create scripts from the app. All in all, it's only good to run quick code snippets on the go, nothing that great, not worth the money
