  • 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.
  • Great App for those that want to creat HTML documents or a dozen other formats.

    I was looking for a SwiftUI editor on my iPhone so I could write code as I thought about it through out the day. After much searching, I found exactly what I was looking for! Please don't go to a subscription, I would pay a one time fee, but I'm done with subscription....

  • Project based ftp and ssh

    Everything is great but ftp and ssh is not project based like phpstorm and may cause wrong uploads. Also ftp upload does not have base directory and user must choose destination for each file!
  • Confusing interface in IOS

    I wish there was option to view the remote files instead of downloading and viewing. Also i wish there was option to save the shell commands. Else its 5 star.
