Wrong time to ask for a review

I’ve been struggling with all sorts of crashes and hangups for the few hours I’ve been using this app. The only reason I’ve stuck with it is I can’t find another iOS app that lets me edit files on a remote machine without having to maintain local copies.
The app had just frozen while I was browsing a remote machine for the third time, and the app stayed frozen for a bit even after I closed and reopened it. As soon it managed to unfreeze itself, I got a popup asking for a rating. Pretty easy one star.
Now I’m thinking about trying to refund this purchase and giving up on native apps in favour of something cloud based.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Obviously any freezing should not happen. Please contact us, with more details: support@blakzero.com

Very functional, very good

In my experience, this is amongst the very best editors on iOS, and the most functional - at least for my usage anyway. Very pleased with it. I genuinely am puzzled why the overall rating on the App Store is not 4.5 or over. It would be truly deserved IMHO!!

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. You should try out the latest version of the app.

Brilliant

I love this app! Recently I was away from my personal computer and I realised that at some point I’d deleted a page on my website, accidentally. With the buffer app I was able to put it back there from my GIT repo. Fixed. I did this on my mobile. Awesome app.

Worked years ago but no longer

These days it suffers from disappearing “back” buttons in the settings menu, no or zero byte file listings, and not found file paths, which makes it basically unusable.

The app is no longer recommended - the current version should have never passed the App Store review.

functional but can be better

Grabbed it on a sale (thanks) and love that I can directly clone and edit github as others mentioned. Has a slight learning curve (setting and user guide takes a few taps and scrolls to read), feels like this is tailor made for people used to vim’s style. Auto completing quotes didn’t work all the time (turns out its because I didn’t name the file with an extension). Some functions only gets undo by using software keyboard not cmd+z, for example when tabbing multiple lines using the software tab key (is it a magic keyboard/iOS limitation that hardware tab key deletes selection with a tab character?), or after search and replace. Also would it be possible to have redo shortcut as well for non-vim mode?
Another minor UI issue is that the software keyboard buttons messes with the ipad built-in swipe from the bottom functions when using a hardware keyboard.

Thank you for your interest.

Thank you for being interested in my problem.
It's the best application once the questions are solved.

SIMPLE and has dedicated save

I chose this editor simply on the fact that I could use CMD-S to save files instantly to usb drives. It does that and so much more, with too many options to list. It’s hasn’t failed or had to restart. Just like a quality text editor should do.

Great tool with VI

I am big fan of VI and so surprised that buffer does have VI. I did some typing and it is great.

Thank you very much!

A must have!!

I am on love with this app! Its a must have on my books!
