User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆Editor is good, git is bad
Gitlab integration is not great. It would get corrupt / wouldn’t prompt for merges and conflicts. Ended up throwing away changes made elsewhere.
★★★☆☆Should be better than textastic
I can only give 3 cause the interface has so much glitches and is so ugly
★★☆☆☆Keeps Crashing
I want to like this, but when I switch to a different window it freezes, becomes unresponsive, and eventually crashes. It makes it really hard to work with, I’m not sure if this has to do with the new window app functionality in iPad OS, but it’s the only app I’ve noticed that has problems with it.
★★★☆☆This app is crashing a LOT
2025-10-19 I have been using this app for years and it has been crashing a LOT over the past few months on my M1 iPad Pro. IF the app has focus it works. If it loses focus (CMD+TAB to another app or other switch) it will randomly crash.
Unsure if the developer is still supporting this but it would be nice to get an update to fix this problem.
★★☆☆☆About as good as most, but that’s not saying much
Most text editor apps for code on iOS fall short. This one is no different, unfortunately. It doesn’t really support vim keys, it doesn’t allow key mapping or anything approaching customization.
This is clearly a lot of good effort, though, and it might be the best I’ve seen in the general text editor category. There are better editors for site design, and for regular text writing (not code) there are boatloads of better editors, but not for just writing code.
