1. 5/5Great editor for iPad!

   This is my favorite editor for the iPad! I've tried quite a few others, but this one has a lot of the features I require — automatic FTP/SFTP, WebDAV, and Dropbox integration; light/dark schemes; previewer; Apple keyboard support; and more. I do wish it had a Git client built in, though. Right now I have a tangled mess of Working Copy + Koder to edit files in a Git repo and they don't exactly play nicely. I'm considering put the repo on my web site and using WebDAV to edit the files. I would still need to use an SSH client (I use Termius) to interact with Git (add, commit, push, pull, and branch management). Maybe I could find a way to automate those things by visiting certain WebDAV URLs, but I'd rather have an interface for Git inside the editor. PS: How do I delineate paragraphs in these reviews? I've seen other people do it, but my blank lines get eaten up.

2. 3/5Poor UI due to key features minimizing automatically

   The top bar with options (settings, find/replace, etc) disappears when you type and won't return unless you minimize the app. Another bar pops over the bottom with undo/redo and some quick typing shortcuts like comment blocks, but it blocks the controls to add or search files on the file tree. App would be significantly better if the UI stayed consistent--all the controls should be visible regardless of whether or not you're typing, and the popover shortcuts should be shifted/bump up existing controls when active so that they don't block things. (Thankfully the second thing can be disabled with the "extra keyboard" toggle but tbh I think it should be disabled by default if an external keyboard is present as none of it is faster than just typing it)

3. 5/5Great App for the Price!

   I can't believe this app is free with no ads. I’m also surprised at the breadth of the language support (e.g., batch, PowerShell, XML) as well as the app privacy (no data collected except some anonymous diagnostics data). Is this a full featured IDE? No. Does it cover the basics? Yes, and then some, such as previewing your HTML pages in-app and allowing you to easily upload them. For an app that appears to have been abandoned 2+ years ago, it still works very well. If it really is abandoned, I thank the author for leaving it in the app store. The app does have some shortcomings, such as no auto-indent and not having many configuration options. It also has a few bugs, but the ones I've experienced are easy to avoid or work around. For example: - When trying to copy or move a file to a folder that already contains a file by that name, the "File already exist" dialog box can't be seen until switching to another app then back to Koder, which still doesn't allow Yes or No to be chosen, requiring a forced close. - When browsing into an empty folder and holding a finger down on the screen (out of habit), Koder closes. - The + often requires multiple taps before the "Create New" menu comes up. It would be great if these bugs were fixed but, for the price (free), I can live with them.

4. 4/5Great potential

   It’s nice, a few bugs need addressed to improve workflow. - Tab/Shift tab doesn’t work like normal IDEs. - Navigating between apps always resets my position in the file to the top and I have to find my place in the file again. - Images won’t load on the preview or when using localhost. - The server is a little weird. Like I have to navigate to each folder/url and wait a long time before it loads the page. Only then I can go to the next child folder. - again images will not load on the page. I think it’s actually something to do with that folder loading, and not the relative urls. Not too bad for being able to develop on my iPad. Good job!

5. 4/5A few bugs, but pretty good

   Can’t put a path in on an sftp connection (app crashes), and can’t move up a folder from home or type a path when you connect, so... not possible to get to the files I need. Also very awkward to load an ssh key. EDIT: Finally figured out I could edit existing entries and was able to add the path after the fact successfully without the app crashing. Now I’m exploring more. The app seems nice and mostly works well. I would like to be able to change the word wrap though. It seemed to have broken some html comments when I opened a file. It changed the double dash to a single longer dash for some reason. Overall, I do think I’ll try to use the app more often to do quick edits on they fly. UPDATE: To dev, thanks for the reply and thanks for the info about the keyboard. I just got the iPad (and am not otherwise Apple) and didn't know about that! It's been disabled now. +1 star for responsiveness and because other than the path bug which I'm able to work around, most other annoyances are Apple's fault.
