### 5/5 — Cool App

*2024-05-12*

Thanks, would recommend to anyone looking for a text editor, especially for web development

### 5/5 — Excellent new app from Sun

*2022-02-15*

As an enthusiastic user of Mr. Sun's MarkNote (an indispensable Swiss Army knife for markdown files), I can only hail the appearance of this closely related app for coding. Although I'm not a coder as such, I find it to be a great help in importing and modifying HTML files, particularly in converting them to text format.

I have no idea why someone rated it as one star. It may not yet have reached its full potential for development, but even in this early form I gave it five stars.

If you use the truly classic app Textastic, Marknote serves as a valuable go between for import and export of textfiles in that environment; I can say the same of its companion Instant Coder. I wish it a long career and many helpful added features in the future.

😄😄

**Developer response:** Dear user,
It's our greatest pleasure to see my app is helpful to you! Thanks a lot for your encouragement.

### 4/5 — Ok I changed my opinion.

*2021-08-04*

So the app is kinda complicated to useful once you get the hang of it, it works “nearly“ flawlessly.

So I found some things that would improve the app.

1:Python , php file and custom coding languages.

2:Delete stuff you had writen in the terminal.

**Developer response:** Dear user, thanks for the feedback.
To creat a file, select a folder and click the three dot button of the folder, you will see the menu item;
To delete a file or folder just swipe from right to left on that item.
Hope it helps.

### 5/5 — 只为开发者发声

*2017-04-21*

很不错、体验很好，自己也得加油了

### 5/5 — Parfaite

*2017-01-25*

Excellente appli, meilleure que la plupart de ses concurrentes payantes !
