Recent update messed it up
I was very fond of this app as a writing tool but the recent update ruined a few things. I created a new text document on iCloud and at first couldn’t find it. (It was there in the Files app but couldn’t be opened from there.) Eventually I did find it, but I don’t know how. More importantly, the word count, the most useful item on the File Properties screen, now falls off the bottom of the screen. And it *was* working so well!
Great app
Very happy with this app, it is intuitive and fast, easy to get the hang of, I chose it over the rest as it is not sore on resources, down to it not having gimmicks or bloatware features that don’t belong in a txt editor. I like how it has ftp, iCloud WebDAV and google drive access, these are the main contenders in my work, Textastic fits my needs perfectly, it costs, but it doesn’t cost like trying to work with inferior buggy offerings does, that’s what I paid to avoid.
Great coding app!
Fantastic app. Great user interface, preview in app or with Safari, and a really stable ftp client to boot. It also works really well on iPhone as well as on iPad. Great work and well worth the paltry sum they charge for it!
Brilliant App.
I cannot praise this app highly enough. It is absolutely invaluable if you are a web developer or a coder on the go. Indispensable.
Excellent app for writers
I’m not a programmer or a web designer, I write stuff. Out of all the apps I tried that claim to be perfect writers’ apps, this is the one that has worked best for me. I love the fact that I can organise my texts on my devices as well as in the cloud in a clear folder structure which I can see on the left, and I absolutely love that it is future-proof and compatible, using txt format that can be opened in other apps for further processing if necessary.
Lovely editor, Dropbox support needs work
Really nice, featureful app. Unfortunately the Dropbox sync is manual, so you have to explicitly upload and download locally edited copies of your shared files. This can lead to remote changes being accidentally overwritten. Other apps get this right...
