Analyser Reviews

when I open user guide，it broke down and I returned to the desktop

This is very close to functional, but suffers from two crucial limitations:

1. Cannot read .rdata flies into Analyser
2. Defaults to python when running a script
3. Doesn’t have the tidyr suite of packages (ggplot2, etc.)

I think Analyser developer intended for (1) to work, there is an import from iCloud option, and you can export data sets to Analyser , in theory. This works for r scripts, but does not work for .Rdata files. The iCloud button is unresponsive, leading me to suspect that the link ha sheen broken in an iOS update.

The pieces are here for a foundation to do serious work in iOS, and I am thrilled at the prospect. But needs improved interface with both the Dropbox app & Files app to read data. Once that happens, you can conceivably do serious data analysis using iOS devices.

###Update
Got it to import a .rdata file (you have to make your file path “~/Inbox/name.Rdata”. But, Analyser crashes upon loading data. It just isn’t ready yet, which is a pity because it has potential.

A very good software on iOS. When I face some bug. The communication between me and developer is very good and fast. And also developer help me find out more solutions about my code problem. In my thought, it is more better than Pythonista. Thanks a lot

Analyser is a combined R, SQLlite, and Python engine. It can import sas7bdat and xls files into the sql engine. The console interface is fairly simple but functional. It has a fairly wide selection of libraries installed. Apple's rules disallow adding compiled code so R's install.packages() is disabled. I've not used the Python interface.

It supports iTunes file sharing and source() as well as file importing via URL's. It does not appear to support .Renviron and .Rprofile files in the usual places. Use the R calls to create directories as needed

It works just fine for testing code and small analyses. I use the buffer and textastic code editors to get syntax highlighting as well as Dropbox access and cut and paste into/out of Analyser .

In the future, I would like to see Dropbox and better open-in support, as well as URL scheme support for more integrated workflows.
