Koder Code Editor

I have always liked coding and this app made it way easier to code, I love doing html, css and js and it is so easy to do in Koder. 100% recommend! Brilliant for iPad and iPhone! Got it on both!

The interface is pretty complicated. A lot of icon buttons and no text, so takes a long time to learn the function of each. They’re also scattered in two rows on the top, and then a second row at the bottom, making it even harder. Buttons like settings (cog) are in unexpected locations too. All these quirks are surmountable, but quickly ran into an issue when using. The first thing i tried to do was duplicate a file. There appears to be no ability to do this. I tried copy and pasting to a new location, but couldn’t work out how to rename the file. The pop up dialogues are very slow, sometimes taking 30 seconds to appear and as long to close- or crash the app. The app is promising, offering a lot of functionality but hampered by the tricksy interface and inability to rename files. I tried to reach out to developer, but the only contact is via social media which I don’t have.

don't get it It said i could do python c++ javascript etc but it didn't work

Paired with a tutorial, this app can really help you learn HTML and especially if you’re in school, jump ahead of your classmates in HTML website building knowledge.

Koder has a horrible bug which will delete the entire contents of a file. Unless I’ve made a manual copy on my iPad, there doesn’t seem to be any way of recovering the file contents. It seems to happen when you switch between files in Koder. I only use Koder for creating HTML and associated files. It has many good features. Where I feel it falls down is: - I can’t zoom in on my iPad. Selecting text can be difficult. - Koder automatically saves the new version of the file you’ve edited, but doesn’t save different versions. It’s incredibly easy with an iPad to accidentally delete a whole section of code. If you’ve done that and checked to see what it would look like in a browser, without creating a back up first, then you’re up the creek. - sometimes Koder seems to select the whole file and it’s very difficult to cancel this selection. - doing a find on a string which includes some non-alphanumeric characters seems impossible (off hand I can’t remember which characters). - you can’t automatically format your HTML -it would be nice to be able to minify my HTML and save to a separate file.

Would recommend although not sure how efficient the other mechanics apart from writing code are.

Ok it helps me bp edit it sfs and help me hack scratch it amazing

I opened a new file to start one of my projects and was met with one of my files being completely empty.

Dose what you need but if you go to another script in the tab it can sometimes not save so u have to go to the home screen and then switch tabs to the other script but otherwise great app!

Every time I click on the Ipad screen is tried to also open the keyboard and doesn’t show, but means half the screen is just grey so I get no benefit of having a BT keyboard for more screen real estate.
