I’m not a developer; I work in email marketing, so my use case is pretty simple and pretty much just consists of building out our content in raw HTML. This app is so simple and straightforward to use that I’ve actually begun doing 100% of my job from my iPad Pro. The times I’ve gone back to the text editor on Mac, I’ve kind of just wished I was using this app instead. Can’t speak to the more advanced features it has but if you just need a quick, simple text editor and are curious about living the iPad life, give it a shot!

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!! 💕 it i love the app so much i signed up for the pro version — even though i was grandfathered in with my prev purchase.

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! 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.

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. Just a Great App! I use it every day as my go to file editor.
