CodeSandbox for Negative User Reviews
✓ Will you add Clojure support? Or processing / Quil?I’d give a 5 out of 5 if I could do generative art Clojure Quil style! 🥳🤖🧊📈🍵.Version: 2.15.1
✓ Not badOverall not a bad app at all, a little bit fiddly at times. For example; at the moment I can’t get webpack-dev-server running due to a “ReferenceError: WebAssembly is not defined”. Whilst this isn’t a killer it makes the app less useful. I have been able to run stencil & some other frameworks, which is really cool..Version: 3.10.0
✓ Is there no Undo button in the editor?I can’t seem to find the Undo button in the editor. Since I can’t find it, it’s a deal breaker. All of the functionality in the app is negated by the fact that I can lose (and have lost) all of my work with one mistake..Version: 2.15.1
✓ Poor first impressionsThis app is unusable. It crashes frequently..Version: 1.17.0
✓ Adequate, with some obvious issuesNot sure if this is the only in town. It’s adequate for casual Node dev work. To make it a better competitor with desktop tools, it must: 1. Support all kind of keybindings in the editor. 2. Serious support for external monitor. 3. Better file browsing, at least showing the current full path, and also please scroll to the new_file.js when a file is created. It’s really bothering in a crowed folder. Keep up the good work otherwise..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Hard to change to other languageSelect language not always work. try to change to html but stay on js sometimes work sometimes not. not user friendly at all.Version: 2.15.0
✓ Quite limitedIt’s really hard to run an app you just made. Lacks iOS Shortcuts or Widgets integration. Also node does not exit when using Promises. Also not all node is functionality works. For example axios reports that adapter is not found. There are also other problems when handling http requests..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Can’t resolve any modulesConstantly getting error when trying to resolve modules just trying to instal vue cli. Also the contact button doesn’t do anything..Version: 2.5.0
✓ 👎🏻 lacking settings to fix font size, change color scheme for accessibilityAs someone who’s partially colorblind, and can’t see small text very well anymore, this app isn’t usable for me. I couldn’t find any app settings that would allow me to increase the editor’s font size, or change the color scheme to something I can see properly. 🙁.Version: 1.17.0
✓ When it crashes, I have to reboot my iPad ProWhen it crashes, I have to reboot my iPad Pro. It’s very annoying. It crashes more frequently than I expected. I still use it, but it’s discouraging when it works 50% of the time..Version: 1.14.0
✓ I cannot preview my code as advertisedI cannot preview my code as advertised.Version: 3.20.0
✓ The 'Sign In' buttons don't work on iPhone XRGood IDE for mobile. The Sign In button has absolutely no effect when pressed, so I can't sign in to CodeSandbox :(.Version: 2.14.0
✓ Would be perfect but...I like the app but it needs major improvements. Can’t really do any serious development using it. I bought the app to support the developer since it looks like He’s an Indie maker like I am. I’d like to see this app improve overtime. Features I’d like to see: - Be able to change node versions. - Have a full featured terminal..Version: 2.2.0
✓ BuggyThis app is very buggy. I can’t edit my React Native app without my project being cleared and my main document emptied. I even uninstalled and re-installed and I can’t even add a new project without it wiping everything. 1 Star until fixed..Version: 1.17.0
✓ Unacceptable loss of workSeems like it could be something great to have, but it has lost my work, multiple times. There are no "save", or "commit" buttons, to manually ensure changes are preserved. Sometimes things are as I left them; other times, they are arbitrarily reverted to some previous state. Also needs some UI enhancement.Version: 3.13.0
✓ Good for playing around onlyI guess it could work if you were writing a small app with minimal dependencies. Anything outside of that the dependency isn’t supported and the editor just crashes. Also, there hasnt been an update in quite some time. So additional support or fixes isn’t likely. It had potential, but fell flat..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Great IDE, missing some featuresThis is a very capable and flexible IDE for students or even professionals wanting to turn an iPad into a real development device. However, with that in mind, there are some shortcomings, annoyances, as well as vital features that serious developers will find missing. Just to list a few that I find significant: - Old Node version. Node v12 LTS will reach end-of-life next year (end of April 2022) and many newer frameworks, such as SvelteKit, don’t support this older Node version. Roadmaps for upgrading to newer node versions need to made transparent, rather than saying “we’ll update our Node implementation not more than once or twice a year”. - No git rebase, cherry-pick, reset, or restore functionality. - Lack of a true terminal, so you’re forced to use the GUI (the interface is good and well-designed, but operations are often faster to do via terminal commands!). - Not all web frameworks are supported (my Gatsby projects, for instance, don’t build well). - Scripts don’t stop by themselves when they should. - Dependency management buried in the Settings menu (it’d be more useful as its own tab, maybe switch places with Documentation?). All in all though, a solid IDE. There’s a lot of potential here!.Version: 2.13.0
✓ Doesn’t work with any of my appsDoesn’t work with any of my apps, lacks basic compatibility with features like request, nothing seems to work. Waste of money..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great butI wish there was better code completion..Version: 2.15.1
✓ Less customizableI need toggling wordwrap and pinch to zoom in/out like textastic and UX is so arbitrary please use edge swipe when you going back to file list and how can I cancel making a new file? do I have to make it anyway and delete it? what a stupid UX you should hire a designer seriously or if you have one, they should be fired.Version: 2.13.0
✓ Terrible onboardingThe onboarding experience is terrible. Couldn’t even work out how to create a file. Got sucked in by the slick marketing. Sorry, but this app needs work..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Needs ES6 support for modulesThis app is really good, it’s a complete IDE and can make complete apps. BUT it’s node version is 12 so while modules are available they can only be used when the the —experimental-modules flag appended to the Start script; Node —experimental-modules index.mjs Unfortunately the app doesn’t allow the flag to be set making the modules unavailable. There is an NPM package ‘esm’ which sort of works but it’s not a real solution as it doesn’t work in all cases. The docs say the app does get occasional runtime updates - please please update to node version 14 An even better solution would be to ship multiple versions of node as is available on the main website..Version: 2.15.1
✓ Missing syntax highlighting for GOThis shouldn’t be hard to add in as a feature. I would think in today’s era you should easily have added syntax highlighting for all languages since you do support virtual machines now..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Horrible UI changeThe latest update killed this app, can you add at least a two layout windows view so I can have the editor and a help page open next to it? Thanks....Version: 1.2.0
✓ Node OutdatedAs far as I’m aware, there is no way to update node to run applications that require a newer version of Node, such as working with discord.ja.Version: 2.15.1
✓ Doesn’t do HTML or JS for the interface side, and no code completionNo code completion in a private sandbox for anything; especially not the basics like HTML or JS for the front end..Version: 3.25.1
✓ BugsQuality of the app seems to be going downhill since Code Sandbox acquired it. For example, something as fundamental as creating files and moving them in and out of folders is now an absolute pain. When creating a file and entering its name, its name disappears. This is possible due to connectivity issues and the app not taking an offline-first approach, which for mobile apps is a sin. When I hold a file to attempt to move it, sometimes I can, but most times a context menu appears instead. It’s infuriating..Version: 3.16.1
