Koder Code Editor App Reviews

Great app. Works great with keyboard. Wish list would be having SVN and local sync for offline working.

One of the best code editors on iPad / iPhone. Git support please :)

I tried a free app that was horrible. I was about to pay for Textastic when I found this app. After first downloading, I was a little confused. I had all the code in Dropbox. It turns out a project in the Dropbox section is basically a connection to your account. The UI could be a little smoother, but it does look great. Speed is good except for when opening and closing files. That could be because Im working on Dropbox, IDK. Other things that are needed: spell check for comments and a bigger viewing area. Remove the status bar, that takes up too much room. Also, make the extra set of keys shorter. The only thing I really wish for is Google Drive support, since storage is cheaper there. Overall this app is great for my needs, but a few other things would be nice.

Pros: - Bluetooth keyboard support - Syntax highlight - Snippets Cons: Its not easy (or at least obvious) to start a "local" projects on iPad and then upload it to Dropbox, or vice versa. No Github support (as of the reviews date).

I cant delete files on file sharing but I can select or deselect, so 4 star.

Not useable for actual work! Fatals in local mode. Dont buy it!

Not usable at all. Crashes on iPhone 6 on creating new project and accessing it.

I purchased this app to manage a student organization website, and although I can connect using other free apps like FTP Manager, but each time I try and connect over SFTP I get a failure to connect message using Koder. I looked around online to see if I could locate a fix, but ultimately gave up. I would recommend that you steer clear of Koder for now and maybe try a different app. I wish I could get my money back. This basically turned into a waste of $6 since I cant connect at all.

hope i can get money back. useless, cannot create file or get going. on ipad air and crashing trying to get started

Finally, i found a good code editor on the iPad.

Adding google docs would be really nice!

No settings panel to configure DropBox or local file paths. Cant open files from Dropbox either. No help anywhere. Looks useless if you dont already know how to use it.

This app is for managing a whole project. You must create projects via the app in order to view them. Theres no way to view a single file in Dropbox or something. I tried to open a file in this app from Dropbox and it only allowed me to import it into a existed project?!

Ive used a few of the competitors and this is probably the best for non Vim web development. The editor is decent, the file explorer works well. Overall I like Koder- this kind of app is definitely not easy to pull off. Im willing to put up with some of the issues because unlike the competitors, this app gets updated frequently. Thats a big deal for me- some of the competitors havent been updated for over 6 months! That said there are a few bugs / missing features to look out for. - Importing SSH keys can be a little wonky. It doesnt actually move it into the ftp folder when you import it from the app so you shouldnt delete it from the file explorer in iTunes when youre done. - The terminal sort of works. It doesnt run in the background (e.g. you can either be editing or playing in the terminal) and it misinterprets some of the characters it gets back e.g. I tried to run a Node REPL on a remote server and all the feedback looked like junk. - No auto saving - if the app crashes (and it does sometimes) when editing remote files you can lose all of your changes. Save often. - No support for physical keyboard short cuts like copy and paste

Everything works great. I would like to see a read-only mode and a full-screen mode so that code can be browsed easily without wasting screen space on editing and navigation tools -- I use this on an iPhone only for looking at code, not for writing.

Im on iOS 8 and I generally like the app. It is very helpful for code editing and ftp uploads. The ssh terminal is great except for whenever I run a script it doesnt seem to exit properly. The scripts still do their job, but you must then exit the terminal to run any more commands.

Cant find many others like this in the app store and this runs quite a few languages. Only complaint was that the dropbox made no sense and it was unstable but both problems seem to be fixed in the update. Thank you dev so much for putting more work into this!!!!

Every few months I look into other code editors for iPad, and I keep coming back to Koder. The features combined with the continuous support make it the best around for me.

I was looking forward to this app, but very disappointed. Currently, mostly useless for me. I’m a Ruby user and code-completion doesn’t work as expected. Even the basic keywords are not there, but just Rails stuff. When you enter “end” for a block closure, it goes into an endless loop of auto-complete and can’t enter new line. I guess I can turn off all the bells & whistles and just use as a plain text editor with little syntax highlighting.

Go is an uprising language, cant wait to use this app to develop.
