Basically, yeah. Pyto is good and getting better. I recommend it over Pythonista to everyone who wants to run Python natively and doesn't already have a bunch of Pythonista code to support.

The main difference is in the UI libraries each app provides, which aren't cross-compatible. If you want to run plain text-based Python and work with a REPL, they feel very similar. Pyto ship with Python 3.10, though.

I find Pyto to be really unstable and it tends to crash a lot even when doing basic things and following the examples provided.

In the past I tried to report bugs to the developer but never got any reply

I don’t use it regularly, but it worked well enough when I was pushing it pretty hard a while back. Rats. So now we’re back to 0 modern, stable Pythons on iPad?

Oof those recent reviews though… are you still using it regularly without much issue?

Wow, I see what you mean. No, I haven’t used it much recently. I don’t know what I’d recommend today after reading those reviews.
