Seems like an amazing app… but paywall

This seems like an amazing app based on everything I've seen, but everything is locked behind a paywall. Including viewing, creating, and editing code files, which is literally the purpose of a code editor.
I wish the pro subscription were less of a necessity and more of an optional upgrade for advanced features. Granted, it's only $20 a year, but it's still something to be aware of before downloading.

It’s getting worst with every update

Last update is the worst ever. Now, just trying to open a file is prone to crash, corrupting files.
Stay away from this.

Response from developer

I'm sorry you're experiencing crashes when opening files. I'm not currently aware of an issue in the latest version that would cause this. Please tap the (?) button in the bottom toolbar and choose Email Support, or email support@textasticapp.com directly, with any details that could help me reproduce the problem. If possible, include a sample file that causes the crash. I'd very much like to investigate and fix this.
