really nice
Well done app, has everything I need.
License issue
I paid for this app but right now it is free and requires a subscription to access features.
Great Mobile Development platform. One of my favorite. I also have an Idea:
Proposal:
Transform Buffer into a full mobile dev environment with minimal integrations
Buffer already solves the hardest part of mobile developer tooling: providing a performant, scriptable environment with reliable text input and persistent context on iOS.
Two lightweight integrations would push it from “mobile productivity” into “mobile coding stack” territory:
1. ISH / local Linux shell integration
Interactive terminal access enables local scripts, package managers, and workflows to run directly on-device. This replaces cloud-dependent workflows and unlocks offline development.
2. GitHub chat / workflow sync
Inline commit messages, branch visibility, and PR discussion make it possible to manage repo work end-to-end without leaving the app.
With these two endpoints, Buffer becomes effectively a mobile VS Code equivalent, without building a full IDE. You’d define a new category: “mobile-first dev ops interface” instead of mobile markdown.
If this direction interests you, I’d be glad to outline a minimal technical spec and UX flow that keeps the implementation constrained.

This app is crashing a LOT
2025-10-19 I have been using this app for years and it has been crashing a LOT over the past few months on my M1 iPad Pro. IF the app has focus it works. If it loses focus (CMD+TAB to another app or other switch) it will randomly crash.
Unsure if the developer is still supporting this but it would be nice to get an update to fix this problem.

Keeps Crashing
I want to like this, but when I switch to a different window it freezes, becomes unresponsive, and eventually crashes. It makes it really hard to work with, I’m not sure if this has to do with the new window app functionality in iPad OS, but it’s the only app I’ve noticed that has problems with it.
Response from developer
Hi, Thanks for reporting the issue. Please let us know if you still have issues with the new version. support@blakzero.com
Editor very good - support zero
I sent 2 emails with two different problems - one 14 month ago, the 2nd several weeks. No answer at all.
Not worth more than 2 stars

Hi, We never received your email. Can you try to send new email ? Please contact us: support@blakzero.com
Should be better than textastic
I can only give 3 cause the interface has so much glitches and is so ugly
Simplement sublime :)
J’avais tous d’abord téléchargée l’app pour pouvoir me connecter via ssh à mon "raspberry pi", sans même utiliser ça fonction principale, aujourd’hui…
Aujourd’hui j’étudie la programmation js css html, et je suis grave content d’avoir payé buffer editor, maintenant que je sais coder je peux utiliser son plein potentiel, comme par exemple si j’ai pas mon ordi ou accès a un pour x raison, je pourrais me connecter en ssh sur mon "raspberry pi" ou tout autre machine, et coder directement sur ma page web et voir le résultat, ou même lancer avec 'node.js', pour faire des test avec des petits scripts,
Maintenant cotée éditeur, et bien je le trouve complet, je trouve que la barre au dessus du clavier est bien pensée comme par exemple la touche tab et bien a gauche et il suffit d’un appuie pour que cela prenne effet, cela rend l’immersion dans le développement bien naturel, comme sur ordinateur, puis la barre n’est ni trop grosse ni trop petite, le juste milieu pour s’y retrouver et tous y est, rarement besoin de faire afficher les caractère du propre clavier du téléphone.
Enfin bref ce n’est que m’on humble avis.

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.

Editor is good, git is bad
Gitlab integration is not great. It would get corrupt / wouldn’t prompt for merges and conflicts. Ended up throwing away changes made elsewhere.
good but buggy
buggy on iPhone15, especially when i try to open a key file this app crash so often like 3 out of 5.
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!!
GitHub Functionality Is Broken
It has the Email Address field twice, however your fill it in it says that your username is wrong. Since git functionality is basically required for me to do my job on a daily basis, this is entirely useless to me. Requesting refund.
Git integration is broken trash
The git integration is broken. Refuses to commit and push. When I pull IT LOST ALL 4 HOURS OF WORK CHANGES. I want my money back.
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.

Unable to connect via ssh
I’ve tried setting up multiple SSH connections and none of them work. I have reached out to their support but they have not responded. Feel really disappointed to buy this app and not be able to use it.
최고의 프로그램 입니다.
ssh 접속 후 .xxx.log 와 같이 숨겨진 폴더 및 파일을 화면에 나오지 않게 하는 방법이 있나요?
Won’t connect to ftp if the username is an email address
Doesn’t work for cPanel then.
what i needed. but its crashing a lot
crashes a lot. specially after undo a lot of text. please fix the bugs so we don’t request for refund. this is the perfect app what i was looking for. nothing in market compare to this…
thanks
thanks
