"Very easy to setup, works well"
Excellent service to host python applications literally in minutes. I have been trying a lot of ways to host my flask application, many of them are too complicated. Pythonanywhere worked very well without hasle. They also provide prompt replies to all the queries.

"A happy user, but wished it was slightly better on iPad pro"
Overall I’m a happy user. I’m currently running flask web apps and also general python scripts. I use an iPad Pro, so I came across PA when looking for a cloud based environment for python.
Many of the features that are available on other devices such as tab completion, or copy and pasting in bash, or selecting a specific area of text in a file, are not available when using pythonanywhere on iPad’s desktop safari browser. I would prefer it if they tested their consoles and user interface on the iPads with keyboards more frequently - such advanced tablets such as the iPad pro are the future - and if pythonanywhere is truly going to be “anywhere” then they must consider this. With certain queries the support team suggested things which couldn’t actually be performed on the iPad.
I think a bit of a redesign of the site to beautify it would also be good. Additionally some default settings options would be good - I have to change the editor theme and text wrap around every time I reopen a file!

"Good Starting Hosting Service"
I wrote a harsh review about this company starting out because it was missing some basic conveniences, it turns out you just have to know more.
Basic requirements for being able to work with Pythonanywhere:
1. You have to know Linux commands (not really mentioned, but being real you have to learn it and it is a must)
2. You must know how to use SSH with Github if you wish to upload a repository in this fashion, or how to connect with SSH in general (again, Linux stuff)
3. You have to know git, github, Python virtualenvironments.
HOWEVER: I will say they're a good and easy enough hosting solution. Hosting is hard in general for projects that are more than just a webpage, and they do a good job of doing managing this.
Also they link to my job platform codementor which I like. They are trying. They could use improvements to their UI, but overall they're a great tool and relatively simple to use service.
To be 5 star they would have to improve their UI to upload entire directories (for Django projects for example) and make it easier and intuitive to do things with Python in general. Not an easy task, but that's what it would take.
