And I couldn’t find a way to exit out of the ad without waiting long periods of time. It also happens every single time I try to run my program, which I don’t know if it’s included in the subscription, but for an app named Visual Code, you’d expect to be able to run code, right? ### 1/5 — A *2026-05-21* Fahhking paid ### 1/5 — Cash Grab *2026-05-18, version 26.0.20* Unable to use without providing and selecting a payment+subscription ### 1/5 — Forcepay *2026-04-29, version 26.0.15* Forces you to pay for subscription with no way out…. ### 1/5 — Asking Review before even starting using it *2026-04-28, version 26.0.15* Asking Review before even starting using it ### 1/5 — What happened? *2026-04-26, version 26.0.15* This app used to be usable. But now they hide the x whenever a subscription prompt shows up so it feels like you have to.. also not to mention YOU CANT EVEN RUN YOUR CODE ANYMORE. It will tell you to BUY THE SUBSCRIPTION just to RUN CODE ### 3/5 — Very Niche Coding Assistant *2026-04-09, version 26.0.15* The design makes apps that preview code like GitHub more useful in concept to access areas that I need to survey. It is also a Premium app for coding which is a cost measure to employ in budgeting for company and contracting use. ### 1/5 — Pay *2026-04-09, version 26.0.15* I can’t do anything until I pay for this stuff! ### 3/5 — I did all the code but I doesn’t let me copy all of it I’m on an iPad *2026-04-07, version 26.0.15* Good but bad ### 1/5 — Impossible de s’en servir *2026-04-07* L’application affiche une fenêtre en plein écran nous demandant de souscrire à la version pro sans possibilité de la fermer.

It’s not free and unusable it loads the uni for around 2 seconds then locks you behind a paywall. ### 1/5 — What’s with VS Pro? *2026-02-06, version 26.0.7* My app keeps trying to upgrade itself to VS Pro, and the App I installed no longer works. At first you’d ask if I wanted the paid upgrade, but now it won’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-02-02* What’s the point of your “free” app, when you’re going to force the user to pay within 20 seconds of opening the app? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A very dump strategy *2026-07-31, version 26.0.20* Why can’t I have free trail before paying. ### 1/5 — Tem que pagar *2026-07-28* Tem que pagar não da pra usar ### 1/5 — Forced Paywall *2026-07-17, version 26.0.20* no free trial, time limit or nothing, just straight up a paywall. ### 1/5 — WARNING: DO NOT DOWNLOAD YOU HAVE TO PAY! *2026-07-17, version 26.0.20* Make it free???? ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-07-08, version 26.0.20* Need subscription so trash ### 1/5 — Plan *2026-06-30, version 26.0.20* Why the hell would i pay first if i was not able to what i thought then why the hell shoudl i pay first if i like it i will pay more but 0 rating ### 1/5 — Falso *2026-06-29* A Microsoft não tem o vs code para iOS, então esse é falso ### 1/5 — Bonafide Rort *2026-06-02* It’s incessantly asking me for a review, i’ve only just opened the app I can’t even get in unless I Subscribe for $6 per week. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Prix *2026-05-24* Devrai ne pas être payant ### 1/5 — cobrança na hora errada *2026-05-22* sem sentido cobrar depois de baixar, o ideal era a cobrança na hora que estamos baixando ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Uhh *2026-04-01, version 26.0.15* Good ### 5/5 — SCKAM *2026-03-18, version 26.0.14* Just did 5 star so this cold be seen this is a SCAM ### 5/5 — Saved me *2026-02-19* I was struggling trying to get the correct formatting i needed between devices, glad I found this app!! Definitely helped out a lot. ### 5/5 — Best App Ever! *2026-01-19, version 26.0.7* Limitless!💪🏾🔥 ### 5/5 — Excellent coding app *2025-12-16, version 26.0.6* In general, it is a very nice and useful app. Currently, I am trying JavaScript. Sometimes when practicing one doesn’t need to save a file. So, there should be an efficient way of clearing the code. When the keyboard is displayed it is hard to scroll the dividing line to see blank space to write code lines. This is quite an annoyance when writing a longer code. I am using iPad app. ### 5/5 — Best python *2025-11-30, version 26.0.5* It is a great coding software ### 5/5 — Impact *2025-11-27, version 26.0.5* Brilliant app just take you time to understand. Then your future is yours. ### 5/5 — It’s good! *2025-11-01, version 26.0.5* I like this app but it needs to have a more simplified way to code I recommend a visual interface where you drag coding blocks to make it easier to use ### 5/5 — A Worthy Subscription! ♊️🌜♊️ *2025-10-30, version 26.0.5* 🎶🎶🎶Music to my Code🎶🎶🎶🎧 As I embarked on my coding journey, I sought a reliable partner for my iPad Pro 13-inch (M4). This app proved to be an excellent choice, providing me with the necessary guidance and resources to enhance my coding skills. The AI-powered assistance is truly remarkable, offering clear instructions, well-structured routes, and inspiring innovative ideas. I am genuinely grateful for the invaluable support provided by Visual Code! ### 5/5 — What’s with VS Pro? *2025-10-10, version 26.0.5* *2025 Uodate. Regular Visual Code is working now. Thanks!* My app keeps trying to upgrade itself to VS Pro, and the App I installed no longer works. At first you’d ask if I wanted the paid upgrade, but now it won’t work at all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
