Brace Editor FAQ
Is Brace Editor free?
Yes, Brace Editor is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Brace Editor legit?
🤔 The Brace Editor app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Open the app... check!
Click “+” to create a new file... check!
Freeze after hitting the save icon... check!
Does literally nothing afterwards.
Edit: this is a joke, right? Take a look at the app support site. Notice anything strange? Thought so.
Was decent when it worked
It was working okay, but it just stopped functioning. After saving three project files, the program deleted the contents of two project files. Then, it crashed, and would not run.
DOESN'T SUPPORT INPUT!
In Ruby, when I assign gets to a variable, it is nil. It completely doesn't recognize gets.chomp.
Bad
Compiler doesn't work properly.
Can't run
Activating the keyboard makes the navigation bar disappear, which mean that I can't save or run the program that I wrote.
Simple & Sweet
Brace is the perfect casual editor. I wanted something I could use to test out algorithms I was thinking through while away from my dev machine, and it works perfect for that. I love that it isn't trying to be a full-fledged IDE on an iOS device.
Also, it is very basic, but looks beautiful. It only has room to get more beautiful.
There is no way to enter stdin data currently, so if necessary you will have to work around that (not hard). Wasn't an issue for me.
FTP/Dropbox/etc support would obviously be useful. As would the ability to export (via email, perhaps) your code.
SSH support would be sweet (whether that looks like an actual client, or simply a means to run your code on your own server rather than via whatever service is currently being used).
Great little tool to have.
By far the best!
Was looking for an app to code in Ruby and what I found was less then stellar. Until I accidentally ran across this. Very clean and actually works. Please continue to update this!
Input in C++ (iostream)
Thank you for such a clean, streamlined app. Wonderful job! However, in C++ the compiler doesn't recognise the std library and doesn't allow any input.... This is a problem that requires immediate attention. Please look into it
Great potential, but sort out the bugs.
Very easy to use, minimalist and pleasant design. Would be a great companion if only certain bugs did not destroy the experience.
1. In c++ in line comments like // confuse the compiler and throw fatal errors??? Not sure why this would happen.
2. When editing c++ on ipad the compile button dissapears after about 50 lines.
Great
The app is great! For a free app there are NO adds😄 and writing code is easy with the toolbar. Although it is missing 2 main programming languages, JavaScript and C# (pronounced C-Sharp). Add these and it's the best programming app on the App Store!
