## Kodex Description
Kodex is an advanced code editor which brings powerful and desktop-class editor features to your iPad or iPhone:

* Multi-caret editing, to quickly transform code selections.
* Regex search and replace, with template matching and replace-all-matches.
* Minimap which allows quick scroll navigation though the document.
* Multiple window support
* Syntax highlighting for over 150 languages.
* Trackpad support with custom gestures to add cursors (ctrl+shift+click).
* Auto complete feature (currently only for HTML).
* Add as many guide columns as you wish (default 80 and 120 characters).
* Configurable tab size (default 4 spaces), or insert spaces when pressing tab.
* Draw hints for invisible characters such as new lines, tabs, and spaces.
* Customizable key bindings, so you can configure Kodex to use the same key combos you are already used to.
* Kodex smartly preserves your open documents so that your work stays as you left it between launches.
* Light and Dark modes.

Kodex is integrated with the Files app, so you can easily open files from any other app, and from your iCloud documents folder.

You can launch Kodex QuickEdit from any file sharing view in any app to edit its contents without launching the main Kodex App (be aware this functionality depends on the host app implementing the sharing activity properly).

Included are 10 editor themes, and several monospaced fonts for code editing (you can install your own preferred fonts using system profiles). Font size and line spacing are adjustable, so you can configure Kodex to best fit your preferred screen size, arrangement, and orientation.

Kodex is not a compiler, and you can not build or run the code you edit from it. Think of Kodex as a NotePad++ or Sublime Text substitute for iPhone and iPad.

Kodex is currently optimized for external keyboards, such as Apple&#039;s Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, or any bluetooth/USB keyboard. More virtual keyboard features will be added in a future version.

## Kodex Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Great when it works"
I&#039;ve been using Kodex for maybe a decade now and find it to be an excellent text editor — when it works. Unfortunately, it crashes *a lot*, even crashing repeatedly when e.g. working on a 4-line bash script with only one tab open. I like Kodex enough to keep using it despite the constant crashes, but sometimes they are frustrating enough for me to just use something inferior for a few months. 

It would be nice if users were able to either import a font or select one installed on the system. The built-in options are broadly not wonderful, I&#039;d like to be able to use my preferred IDE font (which happens to be &#039;Courier Prime Code&#039;, it&#039;s open source and could definitely be included in Kodex).
-- 00ce6b185359fe8d64f320c, 2024-12-21

### ****- "Lacking mobile code editor"
There are so many missing features of this code editor and it’s painful. First of all, WHERE’S THE REDO BUTTON?
Being able to accidentally press the undo button with no way of knowing what you did is so frustrating.
And another thing: PLEASE ADD A WORD WRAP TOGGLE!
Word wrapping warps the text and makes it hard to distinguish between statements so please add a toggle!
-- Pacifiky, 2024-10-08

### ****- "Good but needs a fix."
I love this app! I wish i knew about it sooner! But something that is a bit annoying is how you cant see a screen where your code can turn into what it should be.
-- Betsy &amp; Ari, 2024-04-24

### *---- "Broken"
Crashes when opening files on iOS 17.
-- Fernelius, 2023-12-15

### ***** "Seems broken on iPadOS 17.x"
I love this app. It’s the best text editor I’ve found or iOS / iPadOS. Unfortunately, it seems broken on the latest iPadOS 17.x. I went ahead and tipped and I hope the dev will be able to fix it.
-- Tetsuo29, 2023-11-01

### ***** "I love it (pls read)"
So I love this bc I was playing Roblox and this guy was hacker and he told me and I love it how u do it so u have to have google and kodex and u copy and paste it on to google and then u are a hacker         

Im still a little bit confused but I love it TYSM for the app it really helps!❤️
-- Mickey7484, 2023-09-27

### *---- "Broken ios 17"
No longer opens files on ios 17
-- System2600, 2023-09-25

### ***-- "This app can not open all files."
this app won’t open a mcmeta file, which is a text file by the way.
-- Wet Gato, 2023-08-22

### **--- "Complicated coding"
I don’t know how to code the pro way. I’m 8 and use Tynker. I didn’t expect it to be like this. But pls make it easier.
-- Pac-ManPlayer18374, 2023-06-07

### ***-- "Trouble getting started"
I created a file within Kodex and could not open it. App would crash every time. After a while I opened an existing file and it worked fine. And the Kodex file also opened. Weird bug. I wasn’t impressed with getting started, but I haven’t had much chance to really use the app.
-- ATPick, 2023-06-02

### *---- "Sounds great but crashes on startup"
The very first file I tried to create makes the app crash before it even opens.
-- Jose Cosa, 2023-01-24

### *---- "Crashes and no update in 2+ years"
Crashes when opening an existing file as well as when creating a new one. Abandonware
-- App addicted2, 2022-12-22

### *---- "Abandoned by app developer"
This app used to be quite good, at the time when it was still being actively developed, at least, it was competitive with other similar applications available for iOS/iPadOS. 

However, the developer has not pushed out any updates to this app in over 2 years now, which is basically a lifetime in the world of the App Store where things move even quicker than the regular software world.  I wish Apple would do more to notify people of the status of the app…something like a highlighted block of bolded text that says “Note: This application has not been updated in (X amount of time) and we have received a number of complaints from users regarding bugs/broken features.”, there’s way too much stuff like this on the App Store. Oh well.
-- Michael Robert Dolgon, 2022-10-19

### *---- "Garbage"
If you want an app that crashes instead of opening, creating, or editing files - This is for you!
-- ard73, 2022-08-15

### ****- "Bug"
I was closing tabs, before the pop-up came, I closed, then tried again, then it crashed! I tried to go to coding, then it repetitively crashed + I was on iPad 15.0! Please fix!
-- bug.fixer101, 2022-08-13

### *---- "App crashes constantly - needs update"
On ios 15.6 it will not open anything from the Files app.  Needs a major bug fix.

If you can get something open it still crashes.
-- duny2012, 2022-08-07

### *---- "Does nothing but crash"
Create a document? Crash. Open a document? Crash. I’m on the latest iOS (15.5). Clearly this app has been abandoned.
-- prometheia, 2022-06-03

### ****- "there’s no IDE"
I like Kodex for coding,
but to make it even better 
add in an IDE and interpreters 
that you can turn on and off.
-- AttyMuonHelium, 2022-02-19

### ***** "Well thought out app"
It takes advantage of so many capabilities of the iPad Pro - it includes QuickEdit mode, so even in the Files app, you get an action to open a window on a file.  Really neat that it is well integrated.  Lots of syntax highlighting options.

It is able to access anything in the file system of the iPad.  Other apps are not always able to do that.  This also means if those plugins to the file system are flaky (Google Drive?) don’t blame the app.  Möbius Sync syncing a Google Drive folder from your laptop is more reliable than Google’s own app.

I also was at first surprised at the seeming lack of search and replace, until I realized you must hold down Ctrl while clicking the search button, and then the Search &amp; Replace shows up!
-- aiyagari, 2022-02-17

### ***** "Like Notepad++ for iOS"
Was hoping to find some simple editor to look at some HDL source files and came across this app. Have only used it for a short time but I’m pretty impressed!
