Decent Tool
Know what you are getting: this is a wrapper of web vscode. Connecting to code spaces worked well for me on my iPad.
Something I would love to see is for this to use the fully extended space of an external display connected an iPhone like many games do. That would be a game changer for me. Since this is missing, I deducted a star.

Don’t buy this app
It is just vs code on the web if you want that or you can connect other things to the app it is not good i have been looking for a good app to code for a while and i thought this on was the one but noooooo
Everything I’ve been looking for!
I’ve been looking for an app that allows me to collect all my GitHub Codespaces on my iPad in a single app - allowing me to swap between them easily and appearing like a native app. You *can* add a GitHub Codespace as a PWA to your iPad homescreen, but each codespace becomes a separate Home Screen icon, not ideal. UCoW allows me to keep them all collected. I haven’t tried the other connectors as I use GitHub Codespaces for my personal projects, but can firmly say that if you work on GitHub Codespaces on an iPad, this app is a must have!

Doesn’t Work
Total waste of time, doesn’t work on iPad!
Generally good, but not satisfying
Overall it is good, thanks for developing this app. However some features can be improved and a bug can be fixed.
I am using self-hosted Code Server, my device is an iPad with a physical keyboard. The home indicator, which refers to the line at the bottom of the screen, always exists and breaks the immersion. Also, when I am using the physical keyboard, the little virtual one take some place on the screen.
There is a bug when using the physical keyboard. When I use the Secondary Click, which means using two fingers to tap on the trackpad, both the app quick action menu and vscode’s one show up.

My go-to app for coding outside work
tl;dr: Great app. Great support. This is THE way to code away from your Mac.
I like to keep work and personal time separate, so I generally don’t like turning on my work computer outside of work hours (the MacBook Pro I use for work is my only computer). Having this app and a code-server instance hosted on my main cloud linux server allows me to take my 12.9” iPad Pro (with attached magic keyboard) wherever I want and code from there, having a setup that’s almost as good as working on the Mac (though iPad will never be a full match for the Mac as a development device, and I don’t have a second monitor I can use out on the couch).
After the update a while back to support stage manager (which I don’t use), I had been having an issue where cmd-w would close the app instead of the active tab. As a heavy keyboard shortcut user who always hides tab close buttons to avoid mis-clicks, that gave me a lot of trouble, so I was stuck using my workaround cmd-shift-w. When I finally contacted the developer earlier this week (Tuesday), I got a reply within 24 hours saying a fix was on the way and would be out once Apple finished reviewing it. When I checked for updates yesterday afternoon (Friday), the update was there, and I installed it and tried it out. Initially, it had switched from closing the app to doing nothing, so I contacted the developer again and got a response back this morning telling me to change a setting in the editor, and after changing that setting and reloading the editor, the cmd-w shortcut was working great.
I’m definitely very happy with the app, and when I needed an issue fixed, I found that the support is pretty good too. Some of the best parts of the app are the full keyboard support (all shortcuts make it to the editor), and the auto-login on app launch. Now that the cmd-w issue is fixed, the only complaints I have left are all about code-server (like a poor extension selection); the app itself is perfect. Even if there were a reasonably-priced subscription for this app, I’d be happy to pay it, it would definitely be worth it.

Waste of money for Gitpod.io
It’s basically just a viewport. You get the same thing from just using Safari.
非常不错
昨天更新了一版，这次更新后，使用外接键盘，终于没有下面的键盘状态条了，非常nice ，越来越好用了
One of the best implementations I have seen so far!!
Pros:
The app works great with vscode.dev or gitpod and many other available options. The app also works with my raspberry pi 4 running code-server locally.
Cons:
The app doesn't seem to work with code-server running with HTTPS flat set to true i.e using self signed certificates, even when you add the certificate to iPad and toggle "ENABLE FULL TRUST FOR ROOT CERTIFICATE" under Settings > General > Certificate Trust Settings.
Request:
It would be great to have this working with self signed certificates.

Works great!
Theres a issue that I dont think is Ucow fault, but rather code-server: Cant copy from terminal.. other than that, im happy :)
不太好用，需要校验证书
我用的code-server用的自签名证书，用不了
Pretty good, something could be improved
Works quite well, despite a few issues here and there:
1. The input method floating thingy takes up 1/10 of screen space, which is kinda annoying
2. Sometimes nothing happens after key press; must press tab or something else first
3. Sometimes pressing enter has no effect; must type shift+enter to create a newline

I’m trying to use it with Gitpod.io
Update of my review: it’s a lot better 🙂
——-
Hello It doesn’t work on iPad OS 15 (I’m landing on https://gitpod.io, but all the screen/page is black, except the GitPod logo, the button Sign Up, the button Try now, some llogos)

Response from developer
the current update version 2.2 should fix this issue. does it? if not please contact me under develop@gogolith.de
Very good with minor complaints
UCoW does exactly what I need it to - bring VSCode to my iPad. My only issue with it is that when I use a keyboard with my ipad, a black bar appears at the bottom of my screen that cuts off the terminal at the bottom of the page. This also has the side effect of adding a second scroll bar at the side of the page which is very distracting and painful to scroll just to be able to see my terminal at the bottom of the screen. I am using mainly GitPod and GitHub Codespaces.
My other issue with it is that I am constantly prompted to log in to GitPod when I reopen the app.
Besides that, the app is fantastic.
