Leave a Review Snippit
Nice but clunky
Two stars for simplicity, syntax highlighting, and the use of tabs. However, it's frustrating because it lacks some very basic and common-sense functionality:
- You can't select a "language" and then narrow down the selection by tags. For example, I have Python and Bash functions. If I set the snippet language to "Python", I want to be able to narrow the selection to "function" tags when selecting the language.
- You can't edit tag colors; you can only rename or delete them.
- There aren't enough color options for tags.Show lessZzsede

If you update the app to 4.3.3, you'll find there's more colors, you can edit your tags inline instead of just renaming/deleting, and you can add a filter to the middle column!Good but watermark remains
I still get the watermark on image exports after upgrading to Premium. What am I missing?IPad_Geek

Hey there! Be sure to update to version 4.3, and turn off the watermark toggle in settings. You can always email me for support using the email in the app too! alexanderloganapps@icloud.comNice and easy
Nice and to get 5 stars from me it just need a few things as a way to see the snappit title in the folder/Snippit list as it seem they only show the tags if they are atttach to it. The other thing is I have no idea where this file is being saved and what the filename is.1,000 comments!

Simple & Effective
I was looking for a simple, yet powerful code snippet manager and having used many other the lasy few years, this is the best and my favourite :-). Simple to setup tags and folders, super easy to add code snippets with a note thatis really useful (remember how its used and anything to be considered). Fully recommend this app.Show lessdavpea
Undeveloped
There is no batch edit function.Xiong, Qikun
Odd interface and nag popups
The desktop version of this app is let down by its interface. There is no "New Snippet" item in the application menu (so pressing ⌘N does nothing); you have to press a plus-sign pulldown button on the window. There is no "Save" menu item when creating a snippet (so pressing ⌘S does nothing); you have to press an icon that to the rest of the world means "download." When editing a snippet you never get the assurance of pressing a "save" button or menu: there isn't one. You just have to assume it saved automatically while you were typing? The whole thing feels add. Was this thing built for iPad and then just exported to desktop? And there are strangely incomplete bits, like you can't set a snippet language to "html", you can't search all snippets, there is no way to export a snippet to files or to a gist for example. (I never want to export my code to an image so that's useless to me.) I would probably be okay with all that since it is free, but then those popups started nagging me to pay for a "premium version".Show lessmicmath
Developer Response
I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a great time using Snippit :( Snippit is developed by an incredibly small team of one person, and the app is entirely funded by folks who chose to pay for premium. The app asks once a week at maximum with a skippable pop-up. For the features in the app, I think this is super fair - if you don't, you can try another Snippet app, no hard feelings! You've been able to upload to gists for a while now, just add your git key into settings and you're good to go. You can also set a snippet to html too, and there's even a simple search in the latest update. Exporting to files will be coming sometime in the new year. The app was originally built for iPad and modified for desktop use, correct! but I'm always improving it on both platforms. There's new keyboard shortcuts for adding a new snippet and saving too ( but it auto saves so frequently you really don't need it! ).Amazing tool for students
I'm currently taking a programming class at my uni, and I can't tell you how convenient it is to be able to save templates of functioncs and loops to implement into a project, or even just refer back to. Amazing app!benxward
Excellent app, improvement suggestion
the developer did a great job with the app and its interface. everything works and syncs to all other devices without an issue.
the only reason why i didnt give this a 5 star rating is because of the navigation/editing snippets.
when you're trying to add tags, you have to open the snippet, select the tags, make your selection then back out the selection - instead of just typing in the pre existing ones. it's cumbersome and tidious at times.
when trying to drag a snippet to a folder - it doesnt work. you have to rt click and then "add to folder" -- please add this ability!
when adding a snippet, there's no input field- just copy from clipboard. that feature is great but the TextFieldUI needs to be there so a user can make final edits before saving.
the app is very clever, i can literally see how it was created in Xcode. splitnavigationview, TableViewUI, etc... great job otherwiseShow lessAboy336
Brilliant
Does exactly as it says on the tin.RichardB65
