But every time i create a file or folder, it crashes.. ### 3/5 — Handy but imperfect *2021-05-22, version 2.0* This app is handy for writing code ideas while away from VS. I’m using it on iPhone/IOS. The syntax highlighting (I’m just using C#) is very good indeed. The weak points are: * can’t save to Files on iPhone * copy/paste does not work * code completion is useless * purchased C# template does not get added * so I have to use the blank template with a .cs extension to access the C# template * tab spacing is not automated though there is a tab button It is though a handy tool for sketching out classes when away from desktop. ### 2/5 — Why do you have to pay for js *2021-04-05, version 1.0.5* I had done code from a totorial from yt and I couldn’t use JavaScript thanks ### 3/5 — Great app but how to push? *2020-06-14, version 1.0.5* All IAPs are for themes, do I have to buy one? ### 3/5 — Good but only 1 theme for Markdown preview *2019-07-18* Good app. Almost exactly what I was looking for except for one thing. I wanted an app to read my coding notes on, which are on Markdown. However, the Markdown preview only offers one theme. I bought the themes pack but unfortunately, these only apply to the text editor itself, not to the Markdown preview. I wanted a dark mode theme for Markdown preview but the only one there is (the default one) is a boring light mode one that doesn't even highlight code lines. If this app had a bunch of Markdown preview themes (with code highlighting) like there are for the text editor, it would be perfect and I would rate this app 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Eh. Used for about an hour so far, crashed 6 times for me. *2018-07-09* I’m using this app for the sole purpose of editing an html file on my iPad because I’m stuck in a hotel without my laptop in Europe. The app is working, and allowing me to edit the file. However, I’ve only had the app for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, and it has crashed on me literally 6 times thus far. So, if you are using this app,- make sure you back out of whatever you are working on often so it saves your work because if you don’t, you can lose it all! The first time it crashed, I lost 30 minutes worth of coding, which may not seem a lot to an armature coder,- but it is to someone who knows a code or two! After that, I started saving every few minutes, and the most I lost was 2 minutes worth of work. Stability seems to be an issue with this app with prolonged use. There doesn’t seem to be anything in particular that makes the issue happen, just the longer you use it, then it crashes it seems. I tried several different things to make it crash,- I thought maybe I was copying and pasting snippets that were too large or something like that (which the snippets were maybe 20 characters long if that) or that maybe I was using too many illegal characters. But nothing other that using the app for more than 5 minutes made it crash for me. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a few times as well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Awesome app, just needs Dropbox support *2018-07-02, version 1.0.2* I’m looking to use this as a markdown editor. This app has awesome capabilities. It just needs Dropbox support. ### 1/5 — Not working *2017-08-19* Only white background and sign "text code". Impossible to open anything. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-09-15, version 3.0* This app just crashes every time I open a text file. ### 1/5 — Crashes upon opening file *2023-10-29* On iPad, iOS 17 ### 1/5 — I can’t add a file *2023-04-11, version 3.0* I just downloaded this app and when I try and create a file/folder after a few seconds it boots me out of the app. Can someone please explain what is happening ### 1/5 — 新建文件或文件夹崩溃 *2022-12-29* iPad Pro2021，ipados16.2 ### 1/5 — Crashes and closes upon new file or folder creation *2022-01-28* I just downloaded this off of the app store and I even bought the premium features. It appears to be a great app, however, when I try to create a new folder or file, the app crashes, closes and dumps me back out to my iPad Home screen…..??!!!! This essentially makes the app useless despite the fact that it looks great in the app store and even if you download it and attempt to use it. Developer(s), please fix the bug in your app!! It looks like you put in a lot of work on a great app for it to just crash at a very basic operation. Apple iPad 12.9 Pro purchased in December of 2021, Wifi only, not cellular, currently running on 15.2.1 version iOS. ### 1/5 — Terrible quality, no free dark theme *2021-12-04* Terrible quality, no free dark theme, no line numbers and fonts are ugly ### 1/5 — Missing languages *2021-07-22* The app does NOT contain python ### 1/5 — Kepps crashing out *2021-06-09, version 2.0* It's more than 6 months since I purchased this app and it keeps crashing, no attempt to fix from developers. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Whenever I try to make a new file is crashes *2020-12-04, version 1.0.5* Please fix this ### 1/5 — This app seems to have 0 functionality *2020-05-09* Downloaded the app, logged into gitlab, try to clone a repository, and immediately see and in app purchase..ok, ill bite fore JS syntax highlighting, then nothing happens..cant clone any repos or write any code. Stay away. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I finally can make apps!! *2020-10-07, version 1.0.5* I can finally make apps bc The app can let me code!! I like this app and this is the free version!! I like this app that’s what I want!! ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2020-05-25, version 1.0.5* Fantastic for a free app, can easily edit files. Even used it to quickly edit my HomeAssistant configuration file in an emergency. I really hope this continues to get developed. ### 5/5 — nice *2018-11-25* nice！ ### 5/5 — Really Useful *2018-06-27* I am pretty happy about the app. The github integration was well thought out. Maybe it’s not my position to say, but the syntax highlighting should have been free and enabled by default. Thanks for creating such an amazing app 🙂✌🏼 ### 5/5 — Bad ftp support *2018-05-02* Good APP!! But the embedded ftp client is too simple it couldn't even follow the symbolic link created in Linux. ### 5/5 — Good app! *2018-04-05* Nice! I feel like in Sublime Text. If it can be posible to connect to Google Drive, I would be so grateful! ### 5/5 — 勁、 *2018-04-03* 不錯 ### 5/5 — Great start *2017-11-06* Beautiful simple icon and UI. Supports opening code from other apps. OneDrive cloud support would be nice. ### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin *2017-08-13, version 1.0* I've used this to show syntax highlighting for PHP and BASH, it does this beautifully. The text is editable and you can save files. It can link to Dropbox and GitHub. It is like notepad++ but not as functional, at least not this free version. Great program, recommended! ### 4/5 — Happy *2023-08-02, version 3.0* Very responsive app. No lag at all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
