### 3/5 — How do you publish your app?!

*2020-07-09, version 2.3.0*

Great! Love it. Just wondering how do you publish your app on the app store?

### 2/5 — No mention of adverts

*2016-11-18, version 2.0.5*

No where in the description does it state its ad support.

### 4/5 — Impressive - very well done

*2016-02-19, version 2.0.0*

The keyboard is ideal for simple html, js, css editing, which can then be quickly evaluated in the browser view.

The add display is small, but I would happily pay $0.99 to get rid of it, and to thank the app author for his effort.

### 4/5 — Amazing!

*2015-03-24, version 2.0.0*

I have seen some other HTML editors, but this one is far the best! There is one thing to add, an edit button on the top left and a settings gear button on the bottom right. Just a suggestion :P. Also, when downloading files, being able to open the zip, HTML, etc in the app. Other wise, I will rate 5 stars!!

### 5/5 — AMAZING!

*2014-10-06, version 1.0.1*

Must have for anyone who needs to code in HTML from an iOS device!

### 5/5 — I need 6 stars

*2013-10-02, version 1.0.1*

This app is ridiculously AMAZING! It's incredibly simple, easy, and usable.

Truly is perfect.

### 4/5 — Basic editing and FTP

*2012-10-24, version 1.0*

Does it what it needs to. Got me out of a hole when I noticed a bug in a website and only had my iPad. Connected to FTP site and downloads files no problem. Editing and reupload is a bit clunky but nevertheless for a free app and for handling lightweight changes, it's perfect.

### 5/5 — Best HTML app

*2012-09-08, version 1.0*

This is the best HTML app on the app store. You can link different pages which no of the rest do. And it's free download it now

### 3/5 — Good stuff

*2012-09-08, version 1.0*

Best free app i've found for this so far. When I press a special character such as " it highlights the next letter in the document and starts overwriting - very annoying, option to turn that off? Would be cool if extra characters could be optionally on two lines rather than side scroll not sure if that's possible. Option to set an ftp account per project would be good instead of just one in settings. Great stuff though.

### 4/5 — No Ad Purchase?

*2012-07-30, version 1.0*

This is great. It takes up practically no storage space on my iPad, and gives me free access to my FTP site. I previously used a lite version of another app, but it wouldn't open php files (one of the benefits of the full version) so advanced programming wasn't practical. (I could edit it as a .html file and rename as a .php, but that is far from ideal) The only thing I ask is for an in-app purchase to remove ads. Everything else is great!

### 5/5 — Great editor

*2012-06-17, version 1.0*

If you like to edit code like JavaScript and do some HTML then this app is great for you. You can edit the code and view it in less than a second. The FTP is a little basic but it does the job and I have not had any issues with it. I love not having to open up my laptop to do some web page design. Love it!

### 2/5 — Please remove adds

*2012-06-10, version 1.0*

If there is something I hate is ads. Please make it possible to remove them by purchasing the app. Otherwise this is unusable with that ad on the left!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — In app ads, not compatible withFiles app

*2025-04-18, version 3.0.1*

Ads aren't mentioned in the description.

### 1/5 — Where Are My Files?

*2021-05-13, version 2.3.2*

As far as I can see my files go into a folder hidden from me that cannot be found after any amount of browsing the file system and with no way to export them.

### 1/5 — No help? Obvious controls missing!

*2018-11-11, version 2.2.0*

So I installed this because I was looking for a plain text editor.  I created a file and started typing.  There is no "save" button in the UI that I could tell.  I started to traverse down the directory tree but I couldn't find a way traverse back up.  So I really don't know if my text file was saved or not and I'm not sure if I can find it and edit it again.  There must be a way to do this (I assume) but I could not find anything.  How could there be so many good reviews for this app when some obvious controls appear to be missing?  Or did I miss the point of this app altogether?

### 1/5 — Autocorrect in a code editor?

*2018-05-05, version 2.1.0*

This is basically useless. It insists on auto capitalizing and correcting text you input into it, which makes writing code on it impossible.

### 1/5 — Useful little app! - not anymore!

*2013-03-22, version 1.0.1*

New update renders this app useless! Why remove the ftp function!? Please put it back!

Old review follows

Cheap and cheerful. You'll have to forgive the English instructions on how to configure FTP (just go to the main iPad settings and have a play). Perfect for simple text and HTML and re-uploading it via FTP.

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot, wimpy listings

*2012-10-13, version 1.0*

Not at all useful considering that
1) it crashed three times in five minutes;
2) ftp listing is oversimplified.

### 1/5 — Might have been good

*2011-05-07, version 1.0*

I thought this would have been good app to have, but the location of the embedded ad makes it very difficult to avoid tapping it. I have no objection to ads in free apps, but the placement of this one manes the app won't work for me.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with "long" files

*2011-01-05, version 1.0*

I was excited to try this app because all I needed was a simple HTML editor, but every file I downloaded would come up blank in the editor screen.  I found on their support site that others have been having the same problem, and they say it's because it can't handle long files.  The files I've been trying to edit are not that long, really.  So that pretty much makes this app worthless for me.

### 2/5 — No cloud

*2020-05-23, version 2.3.0*

Can’t read from dropbox, onedrive etc.

### 2/5 — Not Open Source

*2016-12-13, version 2.0.6*

Uses in app ads. Not an Open Source product. Seems to work ok but I deleted it shortly after install because of AdChoice advertisements.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-12-11, version 3.0.1*

Simple and effective. Get it

### 5/5 — Simple to the point

*2023-07-07, version 3.0.0*

I needed a plain basic text editor. This works great and is a very small install.

### 5/5 — Works much better now

*2022-08-08, version 3.0.0*

I don’t know what you’ve done but the editor now works very well for me. Before it was hit and miss if you could preview or not. Fingers crossed all is now well.

### 5/5 — Edhita Question!

*2022-02-27, version 2.3.2*

Hey! I absolutely love Edhita! It’s an amazing alternative to Caret Editor, which I use for my coding class. I do have a question though.
One assignment I have requires inserting a photo link. I have it saved in my files but I’m not exactly sure how to get a photo into the code. Is it possible someone could give me tips or any instruction? I absolutely love Edhita, thank you for making it! :)

### 5/5 — Great Text Editor But

*2019-04-26, version 2.2.1*

It’s a great text editor, but it would be very helpful if I could tap the Chars information at the bottom right and swap that to the number of words in a document.

### 5/5 — Can you develop this app to see ..... please

*2018-12-01, version 2.2.1*

Hi, I am working in translating a video

Can you develop this app to browse text file & Video file (.avi, mkv, mp4) at the same time dual ? Please 

I know you can do this because you are a best develop with great app. 👍🏽👌🏽

Best regards,
Thanks

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-08-31, version 2.1.0*

I’ve been looking for a good coding app for so long and most of them cost money and have more than I need this is the most perfect app I’ve ever used I love it! Although it would be nice to be able to purchase something like remove ads because I would like to support the app.

### 5/5 — RIP FTP

*2017-10-20, version 2.1.0*

RIP your massive customer base...

### 5/5 — Best Code Editor

*2016-06-29, version 2.0.3*

I have used this for years and it is the only one I trust!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-03-10, version 2.0.0*

This App is the best open source editor on the App Store. It would be nice if there was a way to remove adds, because I would pay money for it, and it would be cool if it was color coded because at times it is hard to navigate the code. But other than that, this app is amazing and I really enjoy using it. :)
