DraftCode for PHP IDE for Positive User Reviews
✓ Powerful editor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️If you develop websites, need to code a plugin, create a WordPress theme, and need speed, efficiency, this is the right application! Powerful code editor, with the possibility to run WordPress on iPhone/iPad. Furthermore, you can export your projects in a simple and efficient way. Amazing, perfect and professional! Recommend!.Version: 1.9.5
✓ AmazingThis app is one of the best PHP programming apps I've ever used. It could use a manual but it's still an amazing app..Version: 1.4
✓ Si far so goodI have been testing for a couple of minutes and so far I believe this is a good program. On the negative side, it desperately needs shortcuts for common php programming characters like <> ? , = on the iPhone as already does on the iPad..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Actually runs PHP on the ipad!Finally a decent natice PHP editor for iPad that actually runs PHP via an in-app process. Very useful, looks good too :-) ALSO, new version supports SOAP, which is mega..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Really usefulI really like DraftCode. I'm not using it as an IDE; I'm simply using the webserver runtime as an engine for a note-taking app that I wrote. It's a good feeling to be running customized code within the confines of iOS. If you're curious, my app can be installed from my website kylla.info . (The install uses the download zip file suggestion from stackoverflow.) DraftCode is well worth its purchase price..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Great, but not perfectThis is an amazing app and it allows me to code on the go when I’m bored. If there’s one feature that I would need is the ability to transfer my projects between my phone and my computer more easily. There are a few limitations, but that’s due to the iPhone, not the app. Still a great app, totally recommend..Version: 1.8.1
✓ SuperbYou have no idea how long I was searching for an app like this, absolutely amazing. This app is well worth it's price, I'd even buy it if it were $50. I have much thanks for it's Developers!.Version: 1.5.2
✓ FantasticGreat app. Love it that I can run PHP on my iPad. So useful! Only thing I ask is maybe some FTP and Dropbox integration for file upload/download. Other than that it's a fantastic app. Use it everyday..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Two steps from perfect...Two Features, one quite important for ide: 1.mobile optimised text editor 2.Ability to access served website from other app. Time moves on. Users move to more convenient tools. Draftcode has nothing wrong with it until you do not explore other paid IDE's. PHP environment remains it's only , big advantage among iOS IDE's. I am using different app with vastly better user experience of text editing to access its files, and firing the App itself only after i am ready for checking for php errors. Last Updates Made their stiff and clunky text editor a little bit less stressful mixture of tapping and hoping for best. Keep it up, it is getting better. The one big minus still remains a mystery to me, while: 1. PYTHONISTA can run the server which outputs can be accessed as localhost from Safari or LAN, 2.GoCode has simple ,no back-end, file server as localhost from Safari or LAN, 3.even some e.g. PdfToText has simple FTP html server... It seems like it would be easy big improvement but PHP Draftcode has no connection to outside ports whatsoever, you always have to open other app to debug Javascript with console..Version: 1.7.6
✓ DraftCodeThis is the app I've wanted for quite a while. Finally, a PHP app that implements POST and allows me to call another form that can retrieve the data. Now I'm finally making progress on trying to learn PHP. Thanks - this app replaced Kodiak PHP for me, since it doesn't support POST..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Amazing toolWorth the price, and very simple and easy to use UI. Thank you very much! If the editor had a search function that would be nice..Version: 1.9.1
✓ Yep, this the oneLook no further. This one is pretty good. No SQL server extensions built in but WP (very nice) and MySQL/phpadminlite. Really cool!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Great App, highly recommendFantastic app and now it integrates with Working Copy. Really looking forward to new features/improvements. Thanks for the great work..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Works great on the iPad.I was able to connect the MySQL to my computer through ngrok (tcp 3306) and use my Bluetooth keyboard to code anywhere I had internet. So, not only just great for offline dev..Version: 1.8
✓ Great so far...only 1 day inI am impressed with the ability to do PHP on the iPad. I got phpliteadmin by downloading and unzipped it using short PHP commands. Also brought over files from my online site the same way. Awesome! I am able to "share HTML/CSS files" built in PHP to Koder (another great app) and run on a local web server that connects to other users on my network. This might be a good way for me to have a completely offline server for my app to host static pages on my local network right from the iPad. Not sure yet how many connections it will handle. I was golfing in the Adirondacks with 30 guys for 3 day fall event and used a big laptop and printer for our tournament results -- no data coverage, old school. I am assuming Apple won't allow a dynamic language like PHP to be a web server but if they ever do this would be the app to host local dynamic pages..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Impressive!Well worth the price. Thank you!.Version: 1.9
✓ Promising start being able to use iPad for native PHP developmentI love that this exists and I'm able to write some PHP without relying on an external server. I'd love to give it 5 stars, but can't as it's not yet able to run CraftCMS which I use almost exclusively..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Does what it says on the tin!Certainly has everything you need build php based web apps with full support for HTML form processing, store to SQLite db etc also apply CSS and JavaScript and run everything locally. Enough to code on the go though file handling a little basic at the moment - no doubt subsequent releases will bring workflow improvements. So far no performance or stability issues. I like it, nice iPad php IDE with enormous potential..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Wow.A real PHP install? Wow!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Better PHP IDE than a DesktopThis is the type of application that shows the full power of the iOS platform. Running even the simplest PHP code on a desktop machine requires running a web server and all its dependencies. On iOS, all I need is DraftCode and with the most recent update, it is even better. Patronize this developer and keep apps like this in active development!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Excellent for beginners and coders alikeVery impressed by this development system, it's like having an XAMMP installation on your iPad. Great for testing new code and perfect for learning PHP. Developer is responsive to feedback too..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Buy it!!!Iif you don't know know anything n jist jump into things n learn that way like me well buy the pro its worth mu leagal tender.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Some features neededThe app works fine, overall i think is worth the purchase. It needs two features: - Font size management (the font is small) - Syntax highlighter (for PHP development).Version: 1.2.1
✓ Nice app!!Great app, does its job very well, love it for on the go playing bit like your own codepen :0) good job! Thanks.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Only App That Does ThisCouldn't find any other app that runs PHP and looks usable. It's actually on par with the better web editors in the App Store in that the text formatting and look of the editor's UI. My one wish is that they made it so I could multi-task on my iPad Pro. Currently I can't swipe another window to show Safari or Kindle. Since this is mainly for testing out stuff and doing tutorials, that would be a huge improvement over having to switch apps back and forth. Great otherwise though. Even does file management functions.Version: 1.5.3
✓ So far so goodNice app. if you want to know what this app is capable of then run their latest addition to it, wordpress locally on the ipad..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Overall greatGreat app to code with. Brilliant interface. If only it had more functionality to connect a server via FTP..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Crash ios 9 fix plz:/.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Local WebserverI agree with the other folks, this is definitely a powerful web server for the iPad. awesome! I was searching for an app that was similar to MAMP, and this is filling my needs. I know this is geared toward PHP, but it has the potential to be some much more (e.g. full stack syntax highlighting, file management vs. defaulted php extensions). My recommendation to the developer is to expand on this foundation. Some enhanced UX, power user/work flow enhancements. more focus on managing projects. For instance, I created a new html, css, js, php project (took a little while to set everything up. A ’template’ project configuration would be so slick) and would love to render the project (like switching to the browser and hitting refresh) instead of rendering the file that you’re viewing. I have to traverse back to the index file and run that file to see my changes. thanks for the work you’ve put into this; can’t wait to see where it goes..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Good app for PHP development on the go, but...I think this app is great, but I have a few issues, first off it only highlights the syntax for PHP, which is good but when I'm working on a project with PHP, JavaScript and CSS I find it harder to read the source code. Another feature which would be good to add would be Git support so we can edit code on GitHub. Other than that this is a great app and I would recommend..Version: 1.5.3
✓ A Top Player!I find this mobile IDE to be becoming a trusty tool in my workflow belt. While, there are bugs (especially the undo roulette, lol), I will say, at this moment, this is the best of its kind of app on the market, in my opinion. I look forward to following the developers as you all continue to enhance this wonderful application..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Love this abilityIn meetings and such while on iPad I can run hypothetical tests and pull entire repos to edit and run them. Only thing I would really like to see is source control so you can apply the changes you made directly. If this app had that functionality then there would be no competition clan case + iPad + DraftCode is a programmers dream..Version: 1.4
✓ Very Nice!!I like being able to write coding whenever and wherever I like. I’m a beginner at Php and like having a place to practice. A couple of things I would like to see added. Enable mcrypt in php.ini file and when you update WordPress to 4.3 that it works. One more thing. I would like to send feedback or request for future releases without going thru twitter. Thank you for a job well done....Version: 1.4.1
✓ PZFriendThis is an excellent app. It's really helped me in learning php, and I will continue using it to develop projects involving php and sqlite3 databases. Highly recommended and a pleasure to use!.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Great, convenient appDraftCode is a great app. It is very useful for editing, running, and uploading php files on the go. It is great for inspecting your php code without a desktop, which is convenient. It has an uncomplicated user interface, and there does not seem to be any 'open in Draftcode' support, so you will need to workaround that with a little effort. The syntax highlighting is also very useful - but it is a bit rough and slow. Overall, it is the best PHP IDE on the app store..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Programming on an iPadThis is more than just an editor with syntax highlighting, it is a complete environment for developing and testing PHP. Your code is run locally not uploaded and run somewhere else proving you really can program on an iPad after all. Support is first rate, I recently asked a question and it was answered in a few hours..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Good editorThis is a great product for developing and testing PHP and HTML code. This is an early version, and there are occasional bugs in the editor, but in general it is very good at rendering simple HTML, images and PHP output, though I have not yet tested it with more complex code. Highly recommended for PHP beginners testing echo, loope, if then logic etc..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Perfect php appI can confirm that the app description matches. What I really like about this app is its ease of use, its comfort, its design !! (really this is exceptional).Version: 1.10
✓ A super useful development tool for web apps!Draftcode is a great application for my web development as I can fully code PHP scripts and have them function just like they would on a desktop right from the convenience of my iPad. As far as I know, it's the only development tool on the App Store that makes use of a web server, which makes it great for working on form processing programs. For longer programming, I use a Bluetooth keyboard, which makes typing much faster of course. You can move files in and out of Draftcode easily if you know how to do copy/paste or "open in...". I've also used it for testing scripts using the PHP MySQL functions on databases stored on localhost and on remote hosting, and it works fine. Also, the product support is very responsive and top notch. So if you're looking for an awesome web app development application for your iPad, you should definitely get this one..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Still blows my mind... please try to add Drupal?I see that it supports WordPress, which is insanely cool! Please try to add Drupal. There is practical use for mobile development. I love this! One suggestion: focus more on the MAMP server, rather than code editor. If you could somehow integrate with Coda or an established code editor for iOS, the possibilities would be endless! My current setup: Prompt 2, Coda, DraftCode. I'm virtually able to do any sort of development now, at any time, and it's an amazing world. Thank you..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Great toolFantastic tool that allows me to build and maintain WordPress plugins while on the move without having to take my laptop. Only gripe is not being able to access the site from Chrome or other tools outside of the app. Add that and it would be perfect, even as a paid add on😁.Version: 1.9.5
✓ A great toolThis is a great tool in combination with version control to get an existing code base to run locally, make a few changes locally, and upload to test/deploy. Do not expect this to be a robust development platform like on a desktop. It is amazing enough I can run a full install of WP and make specific changes, see them, then deploy them. Major win!.Version: 1.11
✓ Amazing app so far!Only just downloaded and I’m off and running already. I’ve just got bootstrap and PHP code running on an iPad!! Would love a better looking UI (like Koder) and a way to open and edit files directly from Files app (or other cloud storage locations). As described by the developer, I’ve just got WorkingCopy and am will try out cloning my GIT projects and import/export them for now. Would love more features added and see this turn into a 1-stop development environment! (SSH, FTP, Database access)..Version: 1.7.6
✓ Terrific app!I love this app. If you’ve used (or heard of) WAMP or MAMP, this is like that, in a “lite” version. When I travel - or even when I’m just home sitting in bed - I often prefer my iPad to a laptop. DraftCode let’s me work on web applications without dealing with remote servers or even needing an internet connection Sure, it isn’t a 100% replacement for working with a full-featured IDE on a laptop, but it’s great for knocking out prototypes or demos, working on a plane, or any time mobility is the #1 consideration..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Great Coding AppEasy to use and is a great alternative when away from my laptop. Not easy to find good editors for mobile devices and i've tried quite a few, this being by far the best one..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Works really well!I hope this app keeps being updated. It’s really useful and can’t believe I’m running dev copies of WordPress on my iPad Pro. Excellent job..Version: 1.9.5
✓ A solid app that is well on its way!I recently reached a point in my coding work where I need a solid development environment on my iPad and Draft Code fills that need quite nicely. The program is incredibly simple to use and comes with a fully functional installation of PHP that opens up a world of development possibilities on iOS. Howver, it does have some drawbacks. Specifically, there is no reliable FTP or cloud interface protocols built into the program so uploading edited files to my server or opening new projects is a little more cumbersome than it needs to be. If the developer adds Dropbox, OneDrive, or FTP support in the future then Draft Code has the potential to be an absolutely killer app. For now, you will need custom PHP scripts or other apps (I use Readdle's Documents) to upload your files one they are modified..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Great for practiceIt’s a little buggy. The keyboard gets in the way of me scrolling. Sometimes I can’t scroll at all..Version: 1.9.1
✓ Super app!Many thanks to the developer. Must have for on the go for anyone into PHP..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Local WebserverI don't know if I would call this an IDE as much as I would call it a local Webserver. It's more like a mobile version of MAMP and not so much a mobile version of PhpStorm, however, it does offer you the ability to edit and run your code on the fly. If you get it working with a solid text editor and sync it with a repo or ftp server then you'll be close to building full featured apps without your desktop in no time. Considering I spent $6 on coffee today, this app is a steal!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Draftcode PHPJust started using this to aid learning on the move. Impressive simple and effective app. First class speedy support has compelled me to review it. Thanks so..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Not a bad start..I needed to run some examples on the train the other day and this handy little app was just what I needed. Unlike so ,Amy of the other offerings its allows for offline editing of files. This means that I can write and test my PHP scripts locally with no problem at all. A few things would make this app a real heavy hitter.. - syntax highlighting - code completion (basic or disjointed is fine but the iPad keyboard isnt the best to code on so anything to make things faster) - a light theme.. I personally don't like the terminal view and its hard to code in an unfamiliar environment - key mapping.. The shortcut bar is wonderful but maybe add a second line or ditch the square brackets in favour of a single quote and an equals. You are far more likely to want to assign something than work with an array in PHP. Offering a second line of options would solve this no problem In the future I suggest adding a source tree somewhere and almost definitely delete on mass and delete confirmation boxes as its so easy to kill a file you are working on. Once again I am glad I bought this and can't wait to see what the next update holds. I would appreciate a more extensive change log though. It would have been nice to know with this recent version specifically what 'bug fixes' and 'interface Improvements' were made. Us techies love stuff like that. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ GREAT app for serious offline developmentThe app store has only two apps for offline PHP development. I bought them both and I can tell you that DraftCode is the only app that will let you develop professional PHP web apps offline. DraftCode's user interface needs some work. They have a decent extended keyboard but they could use a better one and they lack colored syntax highliting, however if you know what you are doing with PHP this is the app for you. DraftCode has an internal web server (or at least an emulation of that) so you can use most $_SERVER variables and pass $_POST variables between pages, something that the other competing apps do NOT allow you to do. DraftCode also supports JavaScript, CSS and HTML so you can be in total development mode and never need an internet connection. It lacks a way to email the files you created to yourself or to upload them to a server when you do have internet but you can use AirDrop of copy and paste the code from the app to your email program of choice. Again, if you are in need of a serious offline PHP coding solution, get DraftCode and you can get straight to work. The competitor's app is called Kodiak. They have a beautiful user interface but they lack web server functionality so you can't really do any serious coding and anything you do has to be self-contained to one page. DraftCode is the way to go for me!.Version: 1.1
✓ Solid App!Well maintained; functionality true to description. Many thanks 🙏.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Good tool for learning PHP on the goI use it to learn PHP and web development while commuting. Not sure how well it would support a production environment. I want to start learning Laravel too and I am not sure it can be accommodated in this environment. I am amazed at what they did get working in iOS and the product interface is really good and is fast..Version: 1.7
✓ A great app for distraction free coding on the goDraftCode provides a full PHP runtime on my phone. Not just a dummy learning environment but a full PHP installation. It's clear that the author knows a thing or two about workflow because with just a handful of simple features DraftCode provides and effective flow for distraction free coding..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Goo app with ways to improveI waited for months before I decided to buy this app. I wasn’t sure if the app does what I need and basically it does some of the things. It actually runs the PHP code even when the file has HTML and/or CSS markup on it. It’s perfect if you are trying a website that use modules or common codes to include those files using PHP. What I will say it needs it’s a way to access a folder in iCloud. You can import the files from the cloud or an entire folder. Now, the changes are saved locally in the app sandbox but no in the original folder in the cloud. If you are working in a project in your Mac you will be able to import to DraftCode but those changes are no synced back to your Mac. Textastic is a good example of how sync files on iCloud. In order to get them back to the cloud, you need to export the project as a zip file. Also, the app is not yet iPhone X optimized..Version: 1.6.7
😕 DraftCode for PHP IDE Negative Reviews
