  • Java problem

    The version update record states that 1.7.2 solved the problem of multiple files in Java, but Java classes still cannot recognize classes from other files in the same package
  • Amazing concept, but the experience is poor

    The first time I fired up the app, everything worked well and I was sure that I’d discovered my favorite new tool. The next time I opened my iPad, ssh didn’t work. Unfortunately, “unknown error” appears to be a known issue and there’s no way to troubleshoot it.
  • Very impressive so far

    Just started using this today. Very impressed. Was able to clone my private repo and see it running live in the browser, make changes, and commit them back to the repo.

    The editor is responsive. It looks like a work in progress but so far that progress is very good.
  • C is a bit buggy

    Bought it for C, and it really works well when it works.
    But, the ^C button doesn’t work, and if it get stuck in an infinite loop, there’s no way to exit the loop without closing the app and reopening it. Don’t know if i missed a setting or not…
  • Great idea, poor execution.

    My main complaint is that the compiler doesn’t work right and fails to link files properly. I tried writing a fairly basic program in c++ on here and it kept thinking that functions were undefined or were attempts to declare new functions despite them being calls.

    I copied the program over to my computer and it compiled and executed fine.

    So excellent idea, and if they work those problems out then I’ll be back, but as for now, it’s lack luster at best. (As a footnote it’s possible I’m just misunderstanding a unique nuance/ extra step that’s necessary for this app.)

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback. Code App uses clang for C++ compiling, the same compiler available on macOS. Can I take a look at your source code so I can see what went wrong? My email is sh.chung@thebaselab.com.
  • Love this for web development

    Does most things I need as a web developer. I do wish there were some QoL updates when using keyboards like the TabOut extension from VSCode, but otherwise great
  • Olden out of date software that doesn’t allow modern development

    It’s impossible to work on a modern Django5 app using Django allauth are use any kind of actual web development process with this poorly maintained application because the python version is so old that modern web stuff doesn’t support it and so you can’t even install the wheels because the python version is so out of date.

    I had really high hopes for this app and now I’m regretting the purchase and warning my devs to stay away due to the lack of updates, and the fact that everything is so old that you can’t even get a modern requirements text file to install the dependencies you need to actually work on your application.

    I really feel like this was a bait and switch, and I’m angry, because I had a really high hopes, so I paid.

  • Editor not ready

    One of the best editor, but quite often it says editor not ready after opening the editor. This is really annoying.
  • No Select all

    Still having this issue I can’t select all of my scripts and delete them all and have to use backspace to delete one by one which is frustrating. Hope developers address this issue in the next update.
  • Great but buttons on side navigation dont work when using external screen

    Great but buttons on side navigation dont work when using external screen. If you move the app back to the iPad all the nav works after.
