Going with an expensive and arbitrary subscription is not good customer care. Extremely disappointed at the developer for this sudden change. There is no point on an ongoing subscription, there is no infrastructure to mantain, etc. The developers for Working Copy did it right. They charge every few months for new functionality. Once you pay, you keep it. If you don’t pay, you don’t get new features. This was a five stars app, now I wish I could give it zero.
Sorry guys but your app don’t work. Disappointed
I am just learning vim through the classes on laracasts, I wish I had bothered a long time ago. It’s amazing! And the app is a great implementation
I just switched to EVIL mode and this app helped me practice these new bindings. Just to add that it seems that I more often use ` than ' to go back to a mark (exact position versus beginning of the line), might be cool to add that character to the shortcuts! 10/10 dev, keep up the good work :D Edit: that exists with the isetekbd, thanx dev response!
It works so well and typing :help iOS shows the documentation which is well done. I love this and will recommend.
I had given up hope on there ever being a usable port of Vim for iOS, but this app proved me wrong. The document sharing and extended keyboard both work great and allow me to use my most comfortable writing environment, and my favourite colorscheme even looks great. Thank you!
The app only creates files. You cannot open or edit existing ones. The files I do try to create have the keyboard constantly popping over everything I am trying to read.
I don’t use this app much, but it’s very well done. I want to own it but my usage doesn’t justify the subscription price at all.
I downloaded this and tried it out. I am a very old time vi user, never really got used to any new features in vim. First problem I had on the iPad was after adding a few lines to a text file, I could not escape from insert mode. Had to quit and delete the app. Now I have to try to find out how to map the tap key to the esc key, and have no clue how to do that. I am using the Apple folding folio keyboard with my iPad and it has no esc key. I am sure there is a way to do it, but it is not obvious.
I've used this a lot and it's pretty robust. An external hardware keyboard is required for serious use; get the on-screen touch keyboard out of sight as quickly as possible. Ipad's sandboxing and limited file storage/access/sharing is annoying but the OS allows enough access to iVim to make it useful. I'm thankful it's available.
