If you are happy with the evaluation then you may purchase the "Premium", which unlocks all the features of the app. "Premium" is a "one time purchase" (NOT a subscription), priced more than reasonable. ### 5/5 — good *2024-12-04* good **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 1/5 — Not working!! *2024-08-29* I paid for the app and it’s not working **Developer response:** Cladidotti, can you please contact me at json.editor.contact@gmail.com to help me understand what exactly is not working? ### 5/5 — Awesome to finally have this on iOS! *2024-06-23* I’ve used this app on the Mac for years and I love it! I have looked, but never found a json editor on iOS that worked as simply and effectively as this one. Thanks for bringing this to mobile! **Developer response:** Thanks for the review & rating, Freedlun! Happy to hear you're a long-time user of the Mac app but you also appreciate the iOS one. Also stay tuned for other nice features which will be added to the mobile app 😉 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-06-05* I love the usability and the developer’s responsiveness. I used the CSV editor as well, and I’m so glad there’s a JSON editor as well. Couldn’t be happier! **Developer response:** janucember, thank you for the review and rating! So happy to hear that you appreciate both apps! ## Frequently asked questions about JSON Editor Mobile ### What are the main editing modes in JSON Editor Mobile?
