### 3/5 — Needs controller support

*2026-08-05*

Works well enough, but sorely lacking controller support (for running/testing games)

### 3/5 — Has potential but incomplete

*2026-06-03*

I think this app has great potential, but currently has a few significant shortcomings. 
1. The editor overflows outside of the screen on iphone 14 pro. 
2.There is no autoclose of brackets (, [ etc.
3. The text in the editor flows behind keyboard, which means you cannot access bottom part of your code while you type
4. It needs a toolbar above keyboard for shortcuts such as indent, undo, search, symbols like (, [ etc, as without them it’s really difficult to code without a physical keyboard.

If those were fixed, I’d be very happy to pay for and use the app. I am looking forward to the dev’s updates and changing this review if the issues are addressed.

### 3/5 — Seems great

*2026-05-21*

Bought the full bundle for git features; please add support for forgejo if possible.

The editor's file tree gets a big round of upgrades:

• New context menu: long-press a file or folder to rename, move, duplicate (files only), or delete.
• Create new files and folders choosing the destination right from the creation sheet, with a live path preview.
• Clearer .lua / .md format picker; existing files can no longer have their extension changed by mistake.
• The file tree no longer collapses after an operation: expanded folders stay expanded and the item you just created is revealed automatically.
• Several small stability fixes around file operations and open tabs.
