  • iPadOS’s split view fully supported!!!!

    Now I can edit texts side by side with Safari or any apps supported for iPadOS’s split view mode.

    Mult file edit function is great! You can go back and forth between multiple dropbox files by swiping menu bar on the bottom.

    My favorite text editor is not supported for split view, so I was looking for a new one. PWEditor is exactly what I was looking for.
  • Messed up html replacing characters

    Messed up my website. Changed dashes to underscores. Messed up the html by replacing characters.
  • Doesn’t work

    Couldn’t even view files on iCloud Drive.
  • Perfect for many uses!

    Initially, I downloaded this app as an alternative to Apple’s Notes app because I share iCloud with my wife and she loves to put photos into her notes which makes it insanely convoluted on my end... lol ...but I’ve come to love it as an html, css, js, php editor on the go as well. Thanks for developing this app! The only thing I could possibly ask for is that there would be a way to pay for a premium version (which I’d gladly pay!) so I could have the extra 1/2 inch of screen space on the bottom instead of a GoogleAd 😬
  • Basic file access capabilities missing

    I am not a dgital technology genius but I am no novice to computers and software either. But using this app I could not even browse through my Ipad to find a locally stored file. Under that condition this app turned out to be completely useless for my needs.
  • Beautiful!

    This is amazing and it lets me edit my website via FTP or my personal offline Dropbox files. I just think there’s bit of a parsing error somewhere — I’ll have double quotes (") in my code but when I edit it I’ll see slanted double quotes (“) then I’ll have to go throughout my document and replace them with the straight double quotes (").

    I’m on iPhone 6.

    I wish it had a Dark Mode (in the Text Editor also) option too, that’d be beautiful for coding at night in bed before I go to sleep.
  • Not what I expected, but great! 👍

    I was looking for an app that could let you edit code from video games. This doesn’t help you edit code from video games, I know, but it does help you write code for them, and that is just as good. This app is very helpful and I would recommend it to coders out there. It is a great app for writing code and I promise you will love it for coding. Please consider downloading this app if you are looking for something that follows that description. This is an amazing app, and once again, I promise you will love this app and all of its helpful tools to help you code more easily. If you are a coder, get this app for sure! 😉
  • Not what I expected =(

    This app may be useful, but it has issues. It doesn't have the option to export text file to any file manager app other than cloud storage apps. I also can't import text file from the file manager app. If these issues are fixed, then I can write more positive review about this text editor app. Depending on how user friendly this app is and how many issues are fixed, I can give you somewhere between 4 to 5 stars.
  • A tip!

    Turn off smart punctuation.

    Prevents the conversion of double quotes to the curly ones.
  • Good enough

    This app does what it says. It allows you to create a text file and save it as any extension so you can code and get that syntax and coloring for that language. However, that’s where it becomes bothersome . It took me over an hour to create a simple html form because this app doesn’t read the editor correctly. For example I attempted to create a ‘radio’ button but it defaulted to text input because the app wouldn’t read the ‘type’ attribute radio in the double quotes . Not sure if this is an app dev issue or iPhone keypad but I had to copy and paste the attribute from w3 (really anywhere but I was at work hence using mobile I don’t have all my usual resources) once pasted in this app I saved and ran the program it finally switched to radio buttons but when I returned to the editor the attribute went from blue highlight to black text and wasn’t reading they type attribute . Nothing I do fixes this issue besides pasting it in for a temporary solution. I would reach out to support on this but reading other reviews seems like they don’t really care and usually ignore the review and reply thanks for a review (seen several with questions never answered)
    .....

    In short : get this app if you want to do a quick and dirty review of some code (I have only done html ) so far only issue is the type attribute in the <input> based on how basic that attribute is I would believe there probably a lot more reading issues. If you are not coding something large this helps get you till you get to your computer but don’t expect much.
