PilBox ("PicoLisp Box") is a generic Android App which allows to write Apps in pure PicoLisp, without touching Java, and without the need of an Android SDK.nNote that it runs directly only on an Arm64 CPU! For other CPUs you may download an Architecture-Plugin.

Does not work on my tablet, nor phone, both android. On the phone it did once open properly enabling a repl. Then, it froze. On tablet, it doesn't even open properly - white screen with a UTF char or something like that. Pity, because I'm a particular admirer of M Burger & his Picolisp. Still slowly trying to grok it Edit.... 2018-06-08 Author Mr Burger reverted immediately with the solution: tablet is 32bit, so downloading the emulator as per his advice DID THE TRICK! YAY! Now how do I re-rate it 5 stars???

Ok that worked. I'll give it another star when I figure out how I can get a gui using Termux or Alpine in Termux

Awesome app. The easiest way to get picolisp on android. Also has theming capabilities. Spare the input box everything can be themed. Made mine dark. A convinience feature where it auto detects & applies the 32-bit workaround would be appreciated. If would also be awesome if the help function worked in pilbox. It already runs in a webview so theoritically should be possible to hook into the internals to output text like terminal version. Otherwise a complete package in its own respect.

Good (start) but a lot to be improved. For one thing, storage, yes you need to allow it for the app. Another is exit button and generally better interface. This is a good app and it will be much better when improvements are made. Update: thanks for the reply on my comment +1star. Anyway for picolisp the language I give 5/5 for sure, I use it on my pc.
