Textastic

Textastic is a great code and text editor. It has syntax highlighting for a *lot* of languages, including both programming (C/C++, Python, Rust) and text (LaTeX). Good ability to manage files in iCloud, which makes it a useful tool for editing files sync’ed to the cloud from your laptop. It also interacts well with tools such as Working Copy, so you can edit code on your iPad, commit it, and run a build pipeline. There’s one glaring feature missing, though: code folding. If the author adds this feature, I’d never consider using another code editor.

You literally cannot do anything until you purchase the subscription. No free features whatsoever, not even viewing or editing files.

You can’t even VIEW text files on the free version. Who wants to pay for a text editor. The advanced options sure I understand. But paywalling the most basic functionality? One star

Nice

Downloaded the app thinking it was free, but you have to pay to use the app, you can’t create or edit files without paying :( sadly misleading

So like do u know what a code editor is? Like idk bout u but having to pay to look at ur files doesn’t seem top 40 nor does it even sound relevant or like a code editor

The free version is only a placeholder. It cannot even read text files, let alone edit. Label it honestly with the $19.99 price tag.

If I can download this app for free, you should let me try it for free. Just one day. Waste of my time.
