Code App for Negative User Reviews

✓ Beware no support—and no external file supportBeen digging around for a while. Files stored on dropbox do not open. It’s very buggy. Also, i cannot find access to any support. This is a bit of a scam if you ask me..Kingdomcome7Version: 1.5.1

✓ Pretty good for most stuffIts fully functional except for a few features like tkinter or something similar. But my main issue is the gui elements of the app, its very glitchy, buttons wont click sometimes and you just have to keep pressing until it works, theres lag in the file and folder updating. there aren't enough settings and a few other things I can’t remember right now. but I have been using it because it kind of still works..Elliott BorkVersion: 1.4.4

✓ Git hub integration fails eveytimeI can always clone, but even then i cannot open any files other than images. All my python, js scripts don't show any text. I just see a blank screen. I cannot pull or push or commit, it does not recognize any changes..Temi.kelaniVersion: 1.2.6

✓ Has potential but missing key featuresI was pretty excited to come across this application. I've been wanting and looking for native VS Code application for iPadOS. This application has potential, but is currently missing what I would consider some key features for my workflow needs: 1. Previewing of Asciidoc markdown files 2. Cloning repos using SSH Keys (current work in progress as noted on Github project repo). 3. Prompting to save changes when closing a file if changes have been made. 4. Support for VS Code type extensions/marketplace. 5. Visual indication under "Source Control" to show the repo has not yet been pushed (work-around: up arrow with number of commits at bottom of screen). 6. Specifying the folder name when cloning (work-around is to clone, then rename; but don't use spaces as this seems to breaks it's Git client).111A5AB1Version: 1.2.7

✓ Olden out of date software that doesn’t allow modern developmentIt’s impossible to work on a modern Django5 app using Django allauth are use any kind of actual web development process with this poorly maintained application because the python version is so old that modern web stuff doesn’t support it and so you can’t even install the wheels because the python version is so out of date. I had really high hopes for this app and now I’m regretting the purchase and warning my devs to stay away due to the lack of updates, and the fact that everything is so old that you can’t even get a modern requirements text file to install the dependencies you need to actually work on your application. I really feel like this was a bait and switch, and I’m angry, because I had a really high hopes, so I paid..FeverdreamVersion: 1.5.1

✓ It worked but now it’s buggyCan’t seem to tap some of the icons to run the code.. hit or miss some times it works. Also crashing sometimes on opening file..NicknameNumber5,Version: 1.2.5

✓ Frustrating bugs.Minimal capability. Auto complete isn’t there, or what’s there is barely functional. Default C++ program won’t even print its ‘cout’ to the output window. Just wasted my $6. I am not spending the time to learn it further, since it’s obvious it’s too minimal..ZipwaxVersion: 1.4.5

✓ DisappointedGot this app to practice what I’m learning but I’m not able to write new files it just keeps showing the basic text for html for example and if you edit the txt it doesn’t update.Racks25Version: 1.1.5

✓ Alot of bugs when using an ipad with keyboard and trackpadHaving trouble selecting, sometimes you have to click away and click back to be able to type, selecting is broken. please fix.Mr. WelfdenforfVersion: 1.4.3

✓ Great potential, decent at the momentGreat potential for witching Python development. In my case development for experimental control, data analysis, and visualization for physics. UI does a great job looking like VSCode and integrating seamless integrations like git, being able to run Python3 locally on an iPad is something that could Gange the game for working on the go. Current problems that I can see changing soon but make it not useable for me: - Git integration UI: taping on a modified file crashes the app (revert works) - Trying to install a dependency like scipy results in recursively trying older versions and creating many log files in my working directory (^C doesn’t cancel it) Will be looking for a refund for my personal use however could suit many for a light weight editor and simple runtime compiler, will keep checking to see if it suits my needs..Hamy Man!Version: 1.4.6

✓ It’s greatI love that there’s an app for coding, but the one language I was looking for was c# and that’s not an available language on this app.ClunkertonVersion: 1.2.5

✓ Run button not workingWhen I bought the app the run button was working, now it isn’t running and gives me the error: “SyntaxError: invalid syntax Document $ clang wasm: Error :” Please provide how to fix this..Ahmadsadiq1234Version: 1.2.6

✓ Poor tap targets on iPad Mini 6Just had a quick play committing some changes, 10 or more attempts to hit the commit button. The idea of this app is great but I can only imagine the experience is better with an external mouse..SeanHolcroftVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Lovely design, not a full-fledged IDE yetI was really hopeful that I might be able to work on my blog using Code App but unfortunately I can’t NPM install all of the required packages. For example, Eleventy errors when trying to install. I’ll keep an eye on the app’s updates and perhaps in future it’ll have more features and support and I’ll be able to dev on it :).JevawinVersion: 1.2.6

✓ Frustrating bugs, but mostly a solid app by an indie developer.Using this at first was pretty frustrating running into problems with what felt like pretty basic stuff – terrible support for the touch keyboard (selecting text is difficult to impossible) PLUS issues with the hardware keyboard (Want to scroll with two fingers? Think again!) left me wondering how I was actually *supposed* to use the app. But when I went to submit a bug report and saw it was a direct link to the issues on GitHub, I read a little bit about why the bugs are the way they are, realized that this seems to be either a small team or like, one dude, and saw that they are trying their best and listening to feedback. And I appreciate that. So this won’t work as your lounge-on-your-couch-with-the-iPad-and-code app I like I hoped it would, but it’s still pretty solid. Looks good, performance is great – if you want to support a small team (or just a dude, possibly) and don’t mind a few little quirks here and there, this does the trick! (Also if you’re reading this, support for more than one set of GIT credentials eventually would be dope 👌).S-t-a-w-e-s-o-m-eVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Great potential, problematic executionFantastic Idea! Especially leaning into local execution. However, it's terminal is inconsistently broken in that it frequently does not: link to the frameworks they provide, cannot exit the python interpreter if you hit ctrl-c (or cmd-a or ctrl-a as per the menu), and occasionally dies outright and needs to be re-installed. Pip did not work once. Abstracting the local environment part of the app into a separate project/app meant to bring a local Unix-link environs would be something I'd pay for all on its own. However, i think moving both into one project has lead to meh execution. I really want to use this app and will continue chinking in on it to see if it improves over time. It's also open source which is super cool and thank you..Tg-techieVersion: 1.3.2

✓ Awesome idea and UI, poor executionGreat looking app. Constantly crashes upon load, no option to save files you’ve previously todos loaded from say Files on my iPad. Has to re-download files each time I try to open larger projects. Just needs a few things polished and would be amazing!.SoftDevFbVersion: 1.2.6

✓ KotlinKeep in mind this app doesn’t support Kotlin , if you like me want to buy this app for Kotlin programming you need to search for other options..Haiderali5cVersion: 1.3.6

✓ No horizontal scrolling in file viewThe app is unusable for me because on remote systems the file view is truncated from the right and has no horizontal scrolling.TrisimixVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Can’t delete files on mobileI tried everything to try deleted a testing file, but after those things (dragging and dropping, swiping, finding a edit menu, etc) I still couldn’t do it. Other than that, it’s a fairly good app if you want to make code on the go. Suggestions: Make a console so that we can type commands in because I need to install npm packages..Pocholo TalampasVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Couldn’t push all my filesI had a huge amount of files for my discord bot project but I couldn’t push all the files at once so I can’t activate my bot..HauntedHaunter310Version: 1.2.7

✓ Nearly there!I can see that this app does a lot, however for my purposes it’s just not quite there - but it’s close! For me there are few issues I faced: 1. The reason I eventually refunded this was that I was simply unable to successfully authenticate a connection to an AWS EC2 instance over SSH - it works just fine in Termius and other SSH clients, but I simply couldn’t get it to work. (NB: I only tried public key authentication) 2. When showing a folder structure for a remote host, it would be great to be able to specify the path to the specific directory you would like to show, just as you can in VSCode, for me I sometimes connect to a host and then use a keyword argument to change to a completely directory, however I could only get this app to show the initial folder structure. 3. It would be good if you could automatically run a script upon connecting to a host, for example to navigate to a particular directory or start a particular set of processes..JaocbJVersion: 1.4.7

✓ Almost goodIt runs us locally but text selection is bugged.BardackxVersion: 1.3.4

✓ Need some workFroze up on me- tapping on files wouldn’t open them. I was able to clone a repo, but running `npm install` failed..CodevatoVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Not good enough for a paid appBuggy. This is basically a port of Visual Studio Code for iOS but too many bugs. Obviously this app was never tested properly on anything but an iPad because on an iPhone the right side of the screen is cut off. Rotating your screen to landscape mode will help a bit but still hard to use. It is sort of usable as a code viewer but good luck doing any real development work on this..AndrewpmkVersion: 1.2.3

✓ More featuresThis code app is great to use on iPad. It would be much better to open and upload files and folders via GitHub..Yolingle32Version: 1.3.4

✓ Good app, need to improveThis IDE is good, but it cannot execute some prepare job such as npm install, that may caused by the limit of iPadOS..Blackpatton17Version: 1.4.3

✓ Does Not have input and output fileThis app needs file and output file for C++, Python, and several languages. There is a lack of tutorial of how to create an input and output file for specifically C++ and Python 3 and also several major computer languages. I use the fstream library and does not let me input and output. I expected more from this "desktop coding app".Brandon M. TsengVersion: 1.2.6

✓ Started as a Great Coding EditorI had really liked this app as my coding editor, since an iPad with the “Pro” badging can’t have a real IDE or anything for professionals, but with the latest versions I can type multiple keys with both the on-screen keyboard and my hardware keyboard. An editor that can’t type all the characters is a broken one, that is the number one function that it should do..JfftckVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Select-AllIs it not possible to select-all? Am I crazy?.EricMuddaFukkaVersion: 1.3.6

✓ I can't add plugins to the program.Solve the problem, please 🙏..Mohamed Fahad 577Version: 1.4.4
