    I tried using this on iPhone but it is completely unusable with VoiceOver.

    Hands down the best compiler / IDE on the App Store for mobile. I’ve tried them ALL… ALLLLLLLL.. and if it was not one thing it was another with them. Whether that be failing to load the preview in browser, as I am primarily a web dev, or lack of Emmet support. This app is clean, you can work local (off any drive you want, should you want) and most importantly it just works. Great job! :)

  • Textastic will be improving, and I love that!

    *update* I am so thrilled about a Test Flight version I received allowing me to set a default overwrite of files for upload/download, and what's better is you can set it for quick transfer or the file transfer windows! This is a HUGE *time saver* and makes me work flow so headache-free. The developer does care.. As you can see I was very upset before:: Previous review: I used to be able to fix the "Error uploading" of the "Transferred a partial file" by simply opening the files that failed to upload. Now, no matter what I try I simply cannot upload certain files or even their parent folder containing them no matter what I try. New “Upload To” feature is appealing, but … Developer absolutely refuses to save you time, forcing you to “confirm” EVERY time you want to upload multiple files. Yet, somehow “upload to” is the only option you’re allowed to disable the dialogue box with. This developer does not care about developing a true Textastic, a great app, but instead an app that only suits their low standards of "good enough". This has to be one of the most obnoxious app developers I have ever had to work with. Textastic has become completely unsable!

  • Comprehensive and Fundamentally Necessary

    It’s versatile, perfectly functional, and has the features (regex search & replace, line numbering, built-in ssh/sftp) that make remote development possible. Well worth the minimal cost.

    Best editor yet…

  • Does not work with server using two-factor authentication

    By Wendell Pereira
    The app does not work when establishing a ssh connection with a server using two-factor authentication (Duo-push). It seems like this is an old complain based on what I saw on the internet and I could not find a solution around it. Requested a refund since the lack of this capability make the app not useful for me.

  • Thoughtfully made and very useful

    I use Textastic when I’m out with only my iPhone and need to make a quick code fix on a website. It’s also great on iPad, with the “flick keys” for common programming characters.

  • THE code editor; full function, easy UI tailoring ✔︎

    Easy *programmable* UI, good local/FTP folder handling, great search/replace. I could need no more. (Me? No more laptop, no more “BB” editor. I’ll miss BB…and laptop…sort of.)

  • Very useful app for text-based files editing

    I use it on a daily to create and make changes to different files across my device's directories

  • Good

    This is a very good app for developers trying to experiment with some code and see the result, it can handle all languages and even combined languages which is where a lot of apps fail at.
