Runestone Text Editor

This was my favourite iPhone text editor, but I think after updating my iOS now, I cannot open any file from my local SMB shared file anymore, I can see the folder I can select and duplicate the file, but when I try to click on the file, nothing happens.

This app is great. My only problem is that I can’t get JavaScript to work. That’s why I’m giving it a 3 star review.

This editor does what I need in a simple and pleasant way.

One of the best options I’ve found for editing on iOS. The premium is worth the money for the extra features. Only bug is my collapse header isn’t working though, I have it turned off but it still collapses. Would love to see an ‘undo’ option one day :)

Extremely useful even without purchasing premium! I hate most apple apps in general, they either cost money or have restrictions making them useless unless you pay.. so this was nice surprise. I now use most of the apps of this developer (doesn’t have many, but they’re great)

I’ve barely scratched the surface of this app but seeing it covered by Macstories and made by Simon Støvring made me download it almost immediately. Despite creating Scriptable scripts being a little above my pay grade, I have a few installed that I use every day. I used to not understand apps that opened by default into a Files view, but I have come to realise that it’s the most logical choice. Runestone, PDFPen & Pixelmator Photo all do this, but it’s so you can get to the file you want to edit as quickly as possible. Runestone supports syntax highlighting for heaps of languages, and multitudes of customisation options. It’s an extremely distilled text/code editor that can be tweaked to your needs.

Helps so much! Normally I never leave reviews or anything so this is not really normal for me. But I’m starting a dog walking business and I need a website so this has really helped me with the code and stuff for my website I would not have been able to do it without this. Download it definitely it’s so awesome.

Error handling, have you heard of it?

I used to really like this editor. I've been using the free version for a few months now, and it's a nice, cozy, "no frills" alternative to Apple Notes. It's the closest thing to having NotePad++ on my machine as I can get, and I've been enjoying the features I do use. However, I recently updated to iPadOS 18 and, since then, the app has been kind of laggy and sluggish. Prior to getting iPadOS 18, the app would open quietly and go straight to the file selection menu. Now, however, it opens to this screen with a blown-up icon scrolling vertically upward, hangs there and lags my iPad for a couple of seconds, and then opens the file selection menu on the bottom half of the screen rather than the entire screen. This makes me not want to use this particular app, anymore, since I can no longer quickly hop in, jot something down, and hop out. I have no real complaints beyond that. It crashes on occasion when deleting, undoing, or redoing… but that's more acceptable than this new startup sequence. I really dislike it that much.

I never buy premium as I can usually find open source software and apps to fit my needs, but this is an excellent editor that I can tell the developer put a lot of effort into creating so I will gladly support their efforts!
