Buffer Editor - Code Editor

I love this app! Recently I was away from my personal computer and I realised that at some point I’d deleted a page on my website, accidentally. With the buffer app I was able to put it back there from my GIT repo. Fixed. I did this on my mobile. Awesome app.

I use this for quickly browsing through source repos offline and less for editing. It’s nice and responsive. If there’s one thing I think is missing it’s being able to search across files in a repo, instead of just the one you’re currently viewing.

This app is great the local host added is a fantastic feature really cannot speak how awesome that feature is, it is groundbreaking for iPhone to be able to read local documents made, well worth the price. Syntax highlighting is great and easy to use Definitely recommend.

I use this on my many bus commutes. I can drop in projects from the various repositories and enter syntax with thumbs and the weird but useful keyboard toggle thing. Worth a try and worth the price.

Some nice ideas in this app, love the Vim support, but no ssh certificate authentication will be a problem for some.

Best looking of the "syntax-highlighting" editors I could find. I've found the developer helpful regarding the issues below which he says should be fixed in next version: - Bluetooth keyboard: the main reason to do a heap of editing on an iphone IMO. Arrow keys don't work properly and no shift/control/command/option functions yet (shift-select and option functions he says at least will be there in next version). Not sure about syntax-highlighting editors, but every single app I have (e.g. "Notes") has all of that functionality built in; works as soon as you power on the BT keyboard. - Bug: Cannot save edits to a file that has been imported into the inbox (copy all file text into a new file in a new project as workaround; he says fix in next version) - Local Filesystem: cannot move (important) files from Inbox to another project folder. "File, Copy" option leaves nowhere to copy file to: only works like a "copy all" of text in file. - DropBox: No idea, I don't use it - Vim: Ditto Plusses: - lots of syntax highlighting themes Suggestions: - Settings: explain settings on the page e.g. "Apple keyboard"? "Expand tab"? - Fonts: more than Courier Family please - Local Filesystem: More flexibility in Local Filesystem user operations needed (cut/copy/paste files, folders, projects). - As much Bluetooth keyboard functionality as humanly possible!! :)

The git integration is broken. Refuses to commit and push. When I pull IT LOST ALL 4 HOURS OF WORK CHANGES. I want my money back.

I’ve tried setting up multiple SSH connections and none of them work. I have reached out to their support but they have not responded. Feel really disappointed to buy this app and not be able to use it.

These days it suffers from disappearing “back” buttons in the settings menu, no or zero byte file listings, and not found file paths, which makes it basically unusable. The app is no longer recommended - the current version should have never passed the App Store review.

Grabbed it on a sale (thanks) and love that I can directly clone and edit github as others mentioned. Has a slight learning curve (setting and user guide takes a few taps and scrolls to read), feels like this is tailor made for people used to vim’s style. Auto completing quotes didn’t work all the time (turns out its because I didn’t name the file with an extension). Some functions only gets undo by using software keyboard not cmd+z, for example when tabbing multiple lines using the software tab key (is it a magic keyboard/iOS limitation that hardware tab key deletes selection with a tab character?), or after search and replace. Also would it be possible to have redo shortcut as well for non-vim mode? Another minor UI issue is that the software keyboard buttons messes with the ipad built-in swipe from the bottom functions when using a hardware keyboard.
