Almost amazing, ultimately frustrating – Continuous .NET C# and F# IDE Review

A C# IDE on my iPad for under $15 that lets me quickly edit and test pixel perfect Xamarin Forms xaml prototypes with no deployment overhead? Heck yeah! The thing hard crashes every time I wrap MainPage in a NavigationPage or try to use a ViewCell written in code? Rough edges like an EntryPointNotFound exception that’ll never go away (but also doesn’t stop running my app)? Support that boils down to a self-help forum with no posts from the app author? Heck, yeah. It’s got those too. If it were billed as a xaml-only UI mocking tool and didn’t try to do anything else, concentrating on doing that well (or just console logs and reads. really any subset of a full IDE), I’d be game. As is, it’s got Icarus Syndrome. It flew too close to the sun and ended up in the drink. I am encouraged that it’s had a few recent-ish updates. I’m holding out some hope. It’s got so much potential, just waaaay too rough to say it’s followed through.
