One thing to think about with iOS devices is that you might be out of luck with some good coding apps because of their App Store policies. I looked at trying to get a python interpreter app on my iPad somewhere around a year and a half ago (maybe two?) and at least then all of the apps had to be IDEs that sent input to a remote server for execution because the App store didn't allow arbitrary user input code execution in apps on the device. I wanted offline operation so I was out of luck at the time, I wish you better luck.

- stevetrewick 11y agoBy reading and understanding the guidelines. There isn't now - and hasn't been for quite a while - a general ban on interpreters. Relevant sections of the (current Feb 2016) guidelines : 2.7 Apps that download code in any way or form will be rejected 2.8 Apps that install or launch other executable code will be rejected[0] There are a bunch of interpreters in the store for various languages. The only problem is if you download arbitrary code. In theory anyway. In reality the review process is indistinguishable from arbitrary and capricious.
