Textastic Code Editor

I’ve never deleted an app so fast. Don’t waste your time

Super useful app with some great features. Everything is locked behind a paywall though, even basic features like viewing. So be prepared to shell out a few bucks.

A waste of my time. You bite

I have to edit a lot of plaintext files (.TXT, .MD, .HTML, .CSS, .JS, .JSON, .CSV, ETC) and Textastic makes it so i can do it on my iPad now. It works great and it works seamlessly. Highly recommend for text editing on an iPad. Five stars.

No functioning free tier, this is just a paid app that lets you test it.

Despite the intro, there is no “?” Or “+” button in the UI. This is sloppy editing of crucial info in the first few lines. Does not make me want to continue reading.

I downloaded this and couldn’t even open a file without an IAP.

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

This is the app that I was hoping for yet assumed probably didn’t exist precisely as I needed it to. Yet it does. Great stuff. 👍

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.
