## Textastic Code Editor Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Wow! I’m not a programmer but this is brilliant for Scrivener with markdown"
I use Textastic on both my iPad as well as my Mac and the  integration via iCloud is seamless.

So, why would I, a non-programmer need a coding text editor such as Textastic? Because I design and maintain my own php website and blog and I use Scrivener to write blog posts as well as web page content. I also use Textastic to edit php hooks where necessary to customise my website.

I write in markdown or MultiMarkdown, which Scrivener compiles into .html, for which I use Textastic to open (edit where necessary) and copy the HTML before pasting into WordPress text pane.

Whereas Textastic for Mac does not provide a viewer / reader for markdown, It is a simple excercise to open the .md or .mmd file in the iOS app and see what the final published doc would look like.

I have rated Textastic a 5, because it:
- is beautifully designed 
- it’s keyboard on the iPad is absolutely fantastic (no pun..)
- the developer continues to improve it
- it works seamlessly across iCloud on Mac as well as iOS
Well done Textastic- keep it up!
