Editor: excellent. Documentation: almost none. Learning curve has been steep. My current isssue: I can't figure out how to transfer my programs from the app to "SD card" storage. There are brief, cryptic instructions, but I am unable to execute them successfully. (I have figured out the reverse: I can get files from the sd card to the app.)

Really happy to have a CL repl on my phone. But for whatever reason, I can't prompt for anything because the input dialog takes up the entire window, and you can't read whatever the input prompt says. I hope that gets fixed, because everything else about it looks great. EDIT: Author's response corrects the issue. Thanks! Dunno why I didn't think of that since something like this occurs in another Lisp that I use on occasion and it's the same fix....

Great to have a simple and easy to use download-and-go Common lisp REPL + editor available from the play store. I was initially unable to save files to external memory, but the developer worked with me to identify the issue, and had a bug fix sent out in a matter of days. All works well now, Great work! Five stars for opening a door for me to new options and possibilities for programming on the small portable computer I now hold in my hands.

The power of lisp in your pocket ! The ability to load programs and then optionally run them using the Lambda button makes this especially versatile. If you can see beyond the well known use of parenthesis to the elegance and sheer power of lisp, you'll understand why many prefer lisp over traditional functional languages. Having now used this app for quite some time I can easily say that is easily the preferred medium for pocket computing

I copied and pasted a Mandelbrot Zoomer code I made on my desktop and it worked beautifully! The only thing I can suggest is making the actual act of text editing a little bit easier (having a select all button would be nice). Overall probably one of the cleanest Android compilers for any language I've ever used (Processing APDE still wins). I would pay a dollar for dark theme!

It is noteworthy that, having lisp been a resource-intensive system only available at advanced computer labs at MIT now fits in my handheld device using up but scant storage memory and cycles. How wonderful!

I can't believe this hasn't had a review yet..it's a FULL COMMON LISP WITH REPL. You basically turn your phone into a Lisp Machine. It's free and open source and I've seen no ads..holy moly. 5/5.

This is great, and I am surprised at how much I can end up immersed in the coding experience. Didn't expect I'd ever seriously try to code anything on a phone. Common Lisp is a key to that as it's so succinct and effective.
