### 4/5 — good enough

*2020-02-13*

can’t zoom in but works good if you don’t have access to a computer.

### 4/5 — pretty great app

*2019-06-01*

sure there's room for improvement, but feature-wise this app can do a lot more than others, it does it relatively smoothly

### 2/5 — has promise but falls flat

*2017-06-24*

as a fellow dev i hate to give scathing reviews, but i cant help it after my disappointment. 

ill start with what little is good, viewing the code and jumping to functions is great, its the main reason i initially loved this app. Unfortunately, this is where the greatness ends.

On to the bad.

First off the IAP isnt worth a penny. the git implemntation is terrible.

Second, opening xcodeproj files crashes every single time.

Third the app crashes a lot in general for no discernable reason.

In summation, if you want good git implementation but medicore code viewing codehub is a better choice. wish i could merge the best of both apps!

### 3/5 — Better than others

*2016-07-13*

Still needs to improve as some of the features are missing.

1. Zoom is missing.
2. Some java files are commented in green... some are not.
3. Folder view options missing.
4. Search for a file in a large list instead of scrolling.

But still this app is good to use.

### 2/5 — Viel viel Luft nach oben

*2016-06-08*

Eigentlich eine einfache, solide App, um Code auf dem iPad zu lesen. Leider gibt es einige Abers:
• Text kann nicht größer gezoomt werden, eines der besten Features eines Touchscreen-Geräts fehlt ganz einfach.
• Schriftgröße muss über ein Untermenü eingestellt werden, ohne Preview. Das zuletzt offene File muss danach wieder in der Ordnerstruktur gesucht und neu geladen werden.
• Bei großer Schriftgröße nach rechts scrollen ruckelt.
• Jump Menü für Methoden/Funktionen gibt's, aus dem Source Code heraus aber zu einer Definition oder Deklaration springen geht nicht.
• Suche? Fehlanzeige. Viel Spaß mit großen Files. 
Großes Plus: Unzählige Styles (mit Preview!), riesige Schriftgrößen und verschiedene Fonts stehen zur Auswahl. Wer also gerne Code in Times New Roman 20pt in bunten Farben lesen möchte, kann bedenkenlos zugreifen. Wie diese App unter New and Noteworthy gelandet sein mag, bleibt mir schleierhaft.

### 3/5 — Good Code Viewer

*2016-02-02*

It's a good code viewer but with the last major update the payment model for the pro features was changed. If you want to use the github module for import you have to buy it in app. It's worth it, but I won't buy it a second time..

### 1/5 — Don't read *.cpp files

*2016-01-08*

0 / 10.

### 4/5 — Good viewer, doesn't write

*2016-01-05*

It does exactly what it claims, which is mildly annoying. Even if you don't build out a full editor feature set, at least let me edit some text with the system keyboard. That would finally let me do most of my work away from my Mac.

### 4/5 — A simple request - support for 'open with'

*2014-11-04*

The main reason I bought this app is because I wanted an app to read source code from safari but this app doesn't seem to support "open with".

*2019-06-27*

I couldn’t get the app to open anything.  Also couldn’t get my iPhone X to download any code (except to pdf.) Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Ужасно

*2018-12-17*

Купил приложение специально для интеграции с гитом. Не открывает и не просматривает файлы.

### 1/5 — Code viewer

*2018-04-14*

nice

### 5/5 — Verilog

*2017-04-09*

Great app

Please add verilog

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-10-28*

Just what I was looking for! Makes it easy to download  or transfer my iOS code or Swift examples to my iPads to organize and view the code with proper syntax highlighting. I love this app. Great for learning and contemplation for understanding. A MUST have

### 5/5 — Pretty sweet code viewer

*2016-09-12*

Pretty good for on the go review of code

### 5/5 — Good free code viewer

*2016-08-06*

Would be nice to have an option for a word-wrap to be able to read code w/o horizontal scroll (which has extremely low fps in some reason, btw).

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2016-05-18*

Thanks for very helpful app. If somebody need possibility to view some sources on the coach using tablet , then it is one of the best apps for that.

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение!

*2013-12-22*

Из пожеланий - лучшая интеграция с гитхабом. Было бы здорово не копипастить ссылку на реп из браузера, а просто вводить название репа, чтобы приложение автоматом выкачивало из ветки мастер.

### 5/5 — Awesome application

*2013-12-12*

Allows me easy view any source code on my iPad

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2013-12-12*

The best  source viewer app ever! Nice syntax highlight, methods links, and it can open xcode project files

### 5/5 — Best source code viewer ever!

*2013-12-04*

I tried few different apps for viewing a code, but this is a best one. All my properties, functions and methods are colored in the right colors! I can fast jump to any method through beautiful table of contents menu. And most important. This app works with Xcode projects. It's so useful! I can browse files though groups, not only folders. 

Hope developers will keep it up. Thanks for a great product :)
