Code App

very convenient and useful! It would be much better if it can open jupyter notebook file. Hopefully, you can support it in the future.

There’s no other app on iOS that theoretically allows you to SSH onto a server and have all your files accessible and editable (as with VS Code). Basically, an all-in-one IDE or text editor. However, the major issue is that I cannot seem to connect via SSH (the connection seems to register in the terminal, but the app doesn’t actually open a remote session by displaying my files). My server files are already mounted on my phone, so I can still use the app. But that’s a big issue for the app which would be great to see fixed. If it were I’d definitely use the app regularly. The other main thing that stops me from properly using the app is the scroll! I’ve toggled the ‘Smooth Scroll’ setting on and off, and no matter what I do the scrolling is not the same experience as scrolling anywhere else on my phone. Scrolling is not as responsive, and it doesn’t behave in the ways I’m used to in my daily user experience. If the devs fixed those two issues I reckon I’d be a daily user (if not hourly!) One thing that isn’t of course an essential, but which I would love to see, is support for org-mode. I just love org-mode. But I suppose what would make that possible is support for extensions and plugins, which I know is a feature (more than just a feature) which wouldn’t be implemented unless quite a few requirements are met (a huge active user base developing plugins etc.). I just love org-mode that much that I thought I’d say so. Anyway, a GREAT app in theory. Just a step or two away from being GREAT in practice! But it is still really good, and I’m glad I found it. I’m only a couple of tweaks away from being a more regular user.

Not a perfect clone, but this app does exactly what I have been looking for. Provides a polished way of connecting over ssh to a remote machine, with a clean UI, standard terminal, and simple yet effective text editor. Gets 5 stars easily but the ability to use a proxy server (ie jump box), or .ssh/config file would be great to see!

Been digging around for a while. Files stored on dropbox do not open. It’s very buggy. Also, i cannot find access to any support. This is a bit of a scam if you ask me.

I can see that this app does a lot, however for my purposes it’s just not quite there - but it’s close! For me there are few issues I faced: 1. The reason I eventually refunded this was that I was simply unable to successfully authenticate a connection to an AWS EC2 instance over SSH - it works just fine in Termius and other SSH clients, but I simply couldn’t get it to work. (NB: I only tried public key authentication) 2. When showing a folder structure for a remote host, it would be great to be able to specify the path to the specific directory you would like to show, just as you can in VSCode, for me I sometimes connect to a host and then use a keyword argument to change to a completely directory, however I could only get this app to show the initial folder structure. 3. It would be good if you could automatically run a script upon connecting to a host, for example to navigate to a particular directory or start a particular set of processes.

I struggle to do coding on the computer since I have 2 younger children. I watched a YouTube tutorial on how I can possibly download something on my iPad to do my coding. Code app was recommended and I installed it straight away after paying the one time payment which was a small amount. Wow, it’s brilliant and now set up on my IPad mini 6!! This makes my life so much easier and I can do my coding whenever. I just bought the iPad keyboard and I can’t wait to really get into my coding journey. Thank you code app for making this happen. I never thought I’d be able to learn for a few years since I was only limited to PC / Laptop. Of course this is also perfect for those on the go. If you work away or travel a lot then you can buy a iPad which is compact. Very happy. I’m still learning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Working fine so far. Only tested with comments and a push to GitHub and after some setting up it worked perfectly. I can see myself using this for getting some of the busy work done on the go, commenting, general housekeeping etc, not sure I’ll sell my computer just yet. I’m yet to explore virtual envs on iPad so don’t know of the capability for full on Django work but it’s good enough for me to keep the boring stuff from building up while in the move.

So far so good. Some minor inconveniences, like in HTML adding a new line does indent properly with the rest of the indentations, but that’s very minor and easily fixable manually. Documentation is lacking, there’s no tutorials on how to get GitHub repos working in this app, but the support seems to be there for it. Otherwise though, it’s a really good app and as close to VS code you can currently get on iPad without running it virtually, and has some handy auto completion which can save time and save me having to remember whether i use href or src xD Hopefully in future we see more features and better documentation of the feature available.

Just had a quick play committing some changes, 10 or more attempts to hit the commit button. The idea of this app is great but I can only imagine the experience is better with an external mouse.

Wow this is great - I’ve just started some php , html, python on the app and it’s very good. Makes debugging easy and runs straight from the app. Great job, thank you
