Been waiting a long time for this. It's bloated, but it does what I need it to.
gforth - GNU Forth for Android at Google Play market analyse
Estimation application downloads and cost
Description
Gforth is the GNUs project implementation of the programming language Forth. This APK is the binary distribution for the Android platform, for ARM and x86-processors. You can find more information and links to source code on http://bernd-paysan.de/gforth.html, and more information about Android-specific features on http://www.forth-ev.de/wiki/doku.php/en:projects:gforth-android:start.For optimum experience when programming, use a soft keyboard made for that task, like Hackers Keyboard.Gforth is available under GPLv3.Gforth uses GCC to compile a fast direct or indirect threaded Forth; Gforth is fully ANS-Forth and Forth-2012 compliant. Authors of Gforth are Anton Ertl, Bernd Paysan, Jens Wilke, Neal Crook, David Kühling and others.The goal of the Gforth Project is to develop a standard model for ANSI Forth. This can be split into several subgoals:* Gforth should conform to the ANSI/200x Forth standard.* It should be a model, i.e. it should define all the implementation-dependent things.* It should become standard, i.e. widely accepted and used. This goal is the most difficult one.To achieve these goals Gforth should be* Similar to previous models (fig-Forth, F83)* Powerful. It should provide for all the things that are considered necessary today and even some that are not yet considered necessary.* Efficient. It should not get the reputation of being exceptionally slow.* Free.* Available on many machines/easy to port.The Gforth apk installs three icons: One is the fast engine (Gforth fast), one the debug engine (Gforth ITC), where the single step debugger works, and the backtrace is precise even on exceptions, and the third one is the net2o protocol demo app, with the "Nettie" octopus. Its a demo now, so dont expect it to work flawless.Fix for Android 12

Cannot believe you did this. Thank you, Bernd, most appreciated. Can't wait to throw some code at it.
Great work Bernd, best forth I've seen for Android. Great for learning Forth in bed at night with "learning forth" pdf open, and switching between them. Thank you, much appreciated.
I sent Mr. Paysan an email about a difficulty I had installing the latest 5/23/15 version and was amazed to receive a reply within 20 minutes. There is an incredible amount of work that goes into a program like this and an equally incredible amount of knowledge contributed by its programmers. Gforth is one of the best, if not the best open source program available. Don't hesitate to try it, learn from it, and even improve it. A Great Work.
A full ANS forth and more on Android, very nice !. Just one feature I would like to add. I would like to use adb to connect to the phone and then have gforth interact with me in that way.
Awsome forth
Enough said !
