    Thank you very much!
  • 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…sort of.)
  • You still cannot upload multiple files without a confirmation dialogue box!

    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.

    Textastic is a great code editor that embraces the iPad and iOS. It looks and feels as it should, support the system well, and is a great way to write code.

    If I need syntax highlighting, this is my go-to app. For composition with reliable and extended undo/redo capability and customization, Drafts is my app. For whatever weaknesses this app has, it does not charge a subscription. It's there when I need it, which is only sometimes. I don't use the ftp and ssh parts of the app, so can't comment on them.

    I’m not a developer; I work in email marketing, so my use case is pretty simple and pretty much just consists of building out our content in raw HTML. This app is so simple and straightforward to use that I’ve actually begun doing 100% of my job from my iPad Pro. The times I’ve gone back to the text editor on Mac, I’ve kind of just wished I was using this app instead. Can’t speak to the more advanced features it has but if you just need a quick, simple text editor and are curious about living the iPad life, give it a shot!
  • Not a real Web Server in the Editor.

    I requested a refund. When you say your app has a web server… I’m expecting a server-side handler for things like PHP. An HTML viewer is not exactly a “web server” but because you wrap it behind a port. It’s still and html viewer.
  • Useless on phone

    Found this useless on my phone and now I have to pay again to use the version on my Mac. Sticking to visual studio.

    I have used Textastic for years now. It provides a portable and uncluttered tool to edit Markdown and html. I have not been disappointed with it. The developer fixes bugs, maintains it, and provides updates.
