I suggest it be tailored more to a code snippet repository functionality. The left pane could be dedicated to storing actual snippets in a way that is easily copied to clipboard. Then the pretty presentation can be the feature with its options on the right pane. That gives this app more consistent utility. Too many apps only do one or the other, but it is best to integrate both. The UI design is nice. ### 2/5 — Sus *2026-02-03, version 2.1* The 'Upgrade' button shows a price of 0.00, and that looks super sketchy. Why prompt for an upgrade if there's no cost? I’d love to support the app, but the confusing pricing makes me not trust it. ### 4/5 — Good app but can’t set background color *2025-03-20* Love the app. Clean and generally works well. But the background color picker doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — Simple and Beatiful *2024-10-30, version 2.0.5* Very simple to use and beautiful design and pretty vision ### 5/5 — Superou minhas Expectativas! *2024-10-26, version 2.0.5* Obrigado por esse aplicativo muito útil e gratuito! Vc contribuiu muito para o meu aprendizado ### 5/5 — Neat app, but needs improvement *2024-10-05* This app is neat and has considerable potential, but there are some critical flaws that you may want to know about. 1) No ability to change the font size. The font size is very small and you can’t change this. As an educator, we have to students with visual disabilities and the inability to enlarge the larger font size is frustrating and limiting. 2) Gimmicky features Some of the features seem like a gimmick than having actual functionality. For example, you can add a “watermark” to your images, but it’s only the software maker’s name and logo — and not your own. Overall, I really do like this app, but improvement is needed. ### 5/5 — ممتاز *2024-09-21, version 2.0.5* جميل ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2024-09-11, version 2.0.5* This app lets me make visually appealing images of my code. When I first opened it, I sa the premium version and was interested in buying it. But then it asked if I wanted Codye for free, and I said yes! ### 5/5 — nice *2024-08-08, version 2.0.5* ***** ### 5/5 — Funciona bien en su vercion gratis *2024-07-20, version 2.0.5* Me gusto ### 5/5 — Best Application *2024-06-23, version 1.1.4* Very useful application ### 4/5 — Greate app, but *2024-05-21* The app is very niced overal, the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the inablity to change the font size which is awkwardly missing ### 5/5 — amei *2024-04-21, version 2.0.3* muito desenvolvedor e legal ### 4/5 — Good but not perfect *2024-04-04, version 2.0.3* It's a nice tool to share code segment but some details needs be polished. 1. Can't auto refresh after I adjust the style option. 2. Not easy to change the default style. It will return the previous if I am not careful refresh the preview before I override the style. ### 5/5 — rly nice app *2024-03-17, version 2.0.3* really nice app, useful when you want to send code snippets to your friends ### 3/5 — Decent, but needs improvement *2024-02-13* I preferred the previous edition of this software better. Here's why: 1) You could actually change the font size with the previous edition of the software. Now, we are stuck with small fonts and don't have the ability to change them, which is not academic friendly, especially for students with visual disabilities. 2) The language support for the first edition was quite good. It seems that more languages are now supported, but it seems that they are a bit on the sparse side. At times, I wonder if the program is even attempting to format the text? This app has potential, but needs improvement. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was first class *2026-01-23* Hasnt been updated and it inserts messed up parsing syntax into the images it exports so it kinda has no practical use anymore ### 1/5 — Why the developers not responding? *2024-11-11, version 1.1.4* Guys? Is the support email not working? I already wrote the issue with the cross platforms and no answer or update on the app! I purchase even grater £17.99 cost the app but when I want restore on iPad or iPhone my purchases then not responding. WTH? ### 1/5 — j'ai rien compris de ce que ca fait *2024-01-20* j'ai rien compris de ce que ca fait ### 1/5 — Used to be a great App now worthless *2024-01-05, version 2.0.2* Version 1 was great and I was a happy customer. I reluctantly updated to V2. Now it does not work properly anymore. Although I paid fully this is unusable now. Sad story. ### 1/5 — Lasted Five Minutes. *2023-11-21* I was dissapointed by this app within the first five minutes. First of all, I'm not paying a cent, to a coding app, with ONE LANGUAGE! It doesn't support anything but Swift! Also, I can't zoom in or out, which is a very useful feature. The initial Themes, seem to be as sloppy as possible. And, If you want to do Anything, you have to pay 60 $ to unlock all the features. Meanwhile, still only ONE LANGUAGE SUPPORT! Even in Pro, Swift is the only language it writes in! Don't waste your money! ### 1/5 — cant open documents *2023-03-04, version 1.2.1* i have tryed to open some c files but it didnt work as expected ### 1/5 — ложь *2023-01-28, version 1.2.1* приложение поддерживает только png разрешение хотя нам показывают не только его ### 1/5 — basic past operation is not working *2022-07-22, version 1.2.1* basic past operation is not working ### 1/5 — Worse than most free utilities *2022-06-12* The Typescript / Javascript syntax highlighting is significantly poorer than most free tools and it looks like there hasn't been an update in many months despite the issues. ### 1/5 — VS Code Screenshot is Better *2021-03-06, version 1.1.3* VSCode and a lots of themes Screenshot is better than this app for sure. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Outstanding app! *2026-04-13, version 2.1* Update in April 2026: Still an amazing app. Huge time saver for presenting code in blog tutorials. Can’t recommend enough. ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2026-04-07, version 1.1.4* Easy to use for crafting code images ### 5/5 — Weirdly specific app *2026-03-28* I like it. Makes it way more nicer to look at when I send my classmates code for them to reference ### 5/5 — What a beautiful little app *2026-02-08, version 2.1* I was always wondering what is used for creating social beautiful posts for presenting codes. Well this is it! ### 5/5 — Best code presentation app ever *2025-10-02, version 2.0.5* I got a promotion because I used this instead of VS-Code’s bad UI & UX ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2025-09-16, version 1.1.4* This is represents the code so beautifully ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-08-21* This app is amazing! I love the amount of themes it has, the programming languages it supports, and more. ### 5/5 — Clean UI *2025-05-13* Very well-developed app. Clean interface and very user-intuitive. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-03-09, version 2.0.5* Absolutely good ### 5/5 — Great educational tool *2025-03-02, version 2.0.5* This application is a great visualization tool for educational purposes and coding --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
