    Yes, it’s a great editor, simple - easy to use and I like the live preview. HOWEVER, as old as this IDE is it should have a formatter. It doesn’t predict code very will either. It’s missing prediction in CSS and JS. Also, why not a boiler plate html starter code? Here’s the bad… All my code files just disappeared. I lost all my files. I since have deleted the app and will be looking for something else to play with…

    i love the app so much i signed up for the pro version — even though i was grandfathered in with my prev purchase. There are so many thoughtful touches in the app; i particularly like the option (available in the Apps=>Textastic section of the ios Settings app) to reset open files. This allows idiots to save "oneself" (ie,myself) from some truly egregious regex mishaps. the developer also added the option to disable the annoying "Writing Tools" option from the ios context menu...AWESOME. didn't know how much i needed that. (if the search/replace field remembered ~10 of the most recent inputs, i would die of happiness) The app continues to amaze me with what it can handle; it almost never crashes (even when i blithely ignore its warning re: large files), is super zippy and just a pleasure to use. Buy it, you won't regret it!!

    I’ve been relying on Textastic to build web apps for years

  • Another bad developer

    I’ve bought this app many years ago, now as per new version notes all new features released in the future won’t be available to me. Really?! Thanks, but I better find another non-subscription app!

  • Love it

    Best IDE/Editor I’ve used in a long time!!

  • Great App for use with Raspberry Pi

    I use this app to program Raspberry Pis for automatic testing. It is a great app on both iPhones and iPads. The built in sftp and ssh support is extremely helpful. I use both on a daily basis. Keep up the great work!

  • Just a Great App!

    I use it every day as my go to file editor. It never disappoints and is a pleasure to use. Sometimes I wish it had a built-in Python interpreter, though I realize that might detract from the app’s core mission.

  • Not as good as I thought

    By Pan Xie
    As a high end non free App, Textastic is not as good as I thought. Its file/folder management function is inconvenient to use. You can’t import a folder into local files. Its WebDAV server does not work. Its code highlighting is not correct for languages like lisp or scheme. I hope new releases will fix those issues.

  • 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.
