Leave a Review Working Copy
Deliciously Good…
Below are the reasons this is a great app for me. I'm often on the go and love the fact that I can just grab an iPad and still do real work. I've use this app for years, I'm hard to please. I don't know the developer, and I don't do this often. This app and developer are ★★★★★, no doubts.
• Secure
• Integrates we'll with iOS text editors and IDEs
• Easy. When I was a noob I learned git with this app
• A very stable and mature app which the developer continues to improve. Today the app, released 10 years ago, is at version 6+, and was last updated just four weeks ago.
• Nice feature set (pro-subscriber, and I'd pay double for this one)
• A share sheet action makes cloning an online repository trivial, even if the app is not open.
•. Builf in diff, basic syntax highlighting, BYO OpenAI key, fully supports Shortcuts, WebDav server, handy folder sync option, for times when git is overkill, connect to Finder on your Mac…
• This app and developer remind me of what I like about the Apple cult/culture and the ingenuity and hard work of its true indie developers.Show lessSnapStarSean
The only le-git solution for iOS
Forgive the stupid pun. But seriously, it’s the only power app for dealing with repositories. It’s ABSOLUTELY worth the paid version if you spend any time editing or viewing repos (there are less functional apps trying to charge recurring subscription) Reasons this app is better than the others I’ve tried: - Ability to use preferred text editor (I use Textastic) - Works with Gitlab and other non-GitHub sources - Constant updates - Multiple remotes per repo - IOS files integration - Ability to upload a repo to an SSH server, run commands (scripts, linting, compiling, etc), then having the resulting changes synced to your device so you can review the changes before commit. It seems to only sync the diff which is impressive. That last feature is super useful. The only reason I can complain is because it took me so long to discover it. It’s kinda hard to find and you have to dig to find it on the iPhone. It’s a killer feature, it shouldn’t be so obscure.Show lessdonny1117
Markdown task syntax highlighting is now completely unusable
I have used this app for many many years to manage a repo of Markdown documents.
Recently, the maintainer *tried* to improve Markdown highlighting by making checkboxes tappable. However, the implementation is riddled with bugs, such as where a checkbox will be flipped on the wrong line from the one you're editing extremely frequently. Tapping on a non task line just to edit the text, results in a checkbox on another line being incorrectly toggled. Tapping on an empty line to insert text does the same. The maintainer seems to not be aware of how many bugs they have rolled out and left sitting in this app under the new implementation. Reporting bugs in this app is a tedious and annoying process compared to other apps.
After dealing with this bug dozens of times per day under the new Markdown highlighting, I tried reporting bugs to no avail, I tried switching to plain text, but that's a PITA for editing Markdown... I've basically given up on this app being useable because there's no way to disable this "enhanced" Markdown syntax editing mode that broke something that worked fine for years and years and didn't need changed. It's sad to see an app ruined because of alpha level buggy changes to critical path features, and then no updates to fix the numerous bugs around Markdown tasks in the new redefined Markdown syntax.Show lesstedmiston
Developer Response
Sorry to hear the app was causing problems. I take pride in shipping a product without issues but if bugs only happen to a few people and are not reported they go unnoticed. As a result of your review the checkbox UI has been changed and no longer toggles on tap such that there is no confusion as to whether a tap is meant to move the cursor. To keep checkbox toggling fast it is now accomplished from the Copy/Paste menu which is automatically shown when relevant. Hoping this makes Working Copy useful for you once again and for many more years.
