Textastic Code Editor Reviews

Please fix the problem with browser

Hello, please, fix the problem with browser. It is not reacting on touch also with an ApplePen. To activate hover, you need to hold longer. It should works just on click. Thank you!

AsciiDoc

It would be great to have support not only for MD but also for ADOC files.

Mosh

Great app, only mosh is missing.

Best code editor for iOS

I am running for a long time. Application has been with me now three iPhone (5s,6,7+, 11Pro), and I can not speak highly enough of it. I've tried a number of applications for code editing, but none better than Textastic. Perfect function and features.

Never underestimate how important a plain text file can be

When using an iPad Pro as a laptop this app comes in handy. Great for coding with its integration with other Git applications and even for saving plain text files to share between devices. The ability to connect to and edit files over SSH is something you won’t find in a typical text editor. Great for developers and everyday users alike. Been using it on all my iOS and iPadOS devices for years now.

YAY!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but JESUS CHRIST is coding easier than I thought on mobile. I’ve been working on the huge project (literally every wakening second of my life) and being able to work on my phone is a godsend. I bought Textastic with the impression of “oh, god…”, but I instead got “yay!” Even transferring files between my Mac and my phone was easy. I thought I would have to lug a flash drive with me, but—nope—Textastic has WebDAV ‘n’ stuff built in. The only negative thing I can come up with is that there isn’t syntax error detection, but considering I did a lot of my coding in TextEdit, I’m used to that already. Thank you!

Makes coding simple on the iPad

I spent a long time looking for a good SSH client and text editor for the iPad and was resigned to using sub-par products until I found Textastic. I use it mostly with an iPad Pro, external keyboard, and mouse and it's easier to do coding via SSH on my iPad now than my desktop. I love that I can write markdown, HTML, CSS, Python, or YAML and Textastic handles them all. Even when I don't have my keyboard with me, I am not left without essential keys (hello, esc anyone?) that can be hard to find on the built-in virtual keyboard. Plus function keys!!! OMG. I even use it to write files to Obsidian (markdown) when I'm working and don't want to switch apps. Textastic is super versatile and the developer keeps on making improvements, so it's just getting better. Plus, it's not a subscription and they don't track you or invade your privacy. This is the best text editor on the iPad BAR NONE.
