Nice implementation. However, it seems that all output is buffered and nothing will be displayed until execution is finished. Have attempted to flush the output during execution and nothing works. When the main word finally returns, all of the output is immediately displayed. So, everything is stored until execution is finished and then everything (up to thousands of lines) gets displayed as one huge chunk.

It works. (1) Would be nice to be able to change font size (2) I can't paste anything into the editor using long press... Also, consider adding options like "Use volume down key for CTRL"; that way, we wouldn't have to install outdated keyboards like Hackers Keyboard, which doesn't work well on all systems. Edited

Superb, forth is a wacky language came across it back in the 80s on a commodore 64 , yeah I know. :-) The new versions do not start on any of my devices one device has error that there is no space on device . the Criticism that it is bloated is part because of ANSI spec compliance.

The app needs storage write permission; I asked for that, but didn't wait for the result (the query is asynchronous). That's fixed with the Halloween release.

Developer replies on critical comments, that's helpful! So I found out what went wrong and give it 5 stars now. Nevertheless, you must tame your keyboard app of choice to behave in a way which Gforth can handle. All these automatic things are prone to erratical behavior, esp. automatic punctuation and cousins. Programming on the phone is simply cumbersome. But maybe you have a nice Forth application which you may transfer to the phone and use it. This should work fine. Edited

The keyboard of choice for Gforth is Hacker's Keyboard. Even better is when you have a Bluetooth keyboard, i.e. a real one.

I really enjoy stack languages! We are fortunate to have open source full ANS Forth GForth! 1. The phone is Android 11, why there is no GForth folder anywhere on sdcard, or anywhere i can put files into? After installing i gave storage permission, and Gforth said successfully created the gforth folder, but i see no such folder! 2. Please consider porting GForth 0.7.9 for Termux, the current version there is still 0.7.3 which is rather buggy. GForth works so well on Termux than in a separate app! Edited
