I couldn't ask for a better editor. This is exactly what a vim person needs on their iPad.

Exactly what I needed to seamlessly edit server-based files with the power of a command-based editor and the convenience of the iOS environment. A terrific alternative to using vim in an ssh session on the server. Like many other reviewers, I've found the developer exceptionally responsive.

I tried this long ago and dumped it, deciding it could never be vim. Today I tried it again and was impressed by how far it has come! This time I think I'll stick with it on the iPhone. I used the default font, which puts a lot of text on the screen. With other editors on-screen navigation is tough with a small font but using the keyboard in buffer works well. Wish it had the colon line number command!

The editor customization is really good, as is the syntax highlighting. All around very good.

I love it!!!!! This is the best programmer's editor on ios, period. It works seamlessly with Dropbox and it is highly vi compatible. After all, vi is the perfect solution to apple's stubborn refusal to include cursor movement keys in their devices. With vi you always have hjkl. Asm, they give you an escape key you don't have to change case twice to find. All good. The only thing wrong with this app is it needs support for Verilog. It's not that different from c highlighting rules. How about adding it, huh.....hint,hint. I'll be happy to help you specify the functionality. Anyway THANK YOU for a great program

Buffer is one well thought out app for doing coding or note taking in vim. The SSH, FTP and DropBox connections work seamlessly. And as a bonus you can store files locally on your iPhone or iPad. With the unlimited folder capability, you can quickly organize all sorts of information. This is a must have app! And no, I don't work for this organization nor paid to say so. I just love it!

Claiming ssh support without key auth is like selling a car without locks on the doors. Way too expensive for the limited support for file locations. With GitHub, real ssh, and iCloud support it would be a great app. But not even icloud support? That's just plain ridic.

So yeah, this is the vim editor you want. It works. It works well. It's quick, nice too look at, and works. Going to focus on two things I wish it had. First, better support for bluetooth keyboards. What I mean by that is, creating a new file, I can't just hit return and have it create the file. I have to tap Done. These little things would make it that much nicer. If I could move around the app with just keyboard commands, that would be even better! Secondly, it would be nice if I could use 'jj' to switch back to normal mode. Unfortunately, the option to switch only gives you one character to work with. Regardless, an excellent app! Thanks.

Good familiar feel with Vim and allows me to continue to get better/more familiar with Vim taking notes in class. One problem I've come across that annoys me quite a bit is that capital commands don't work, for example I can do "w" but not "W" and I can't use H,M,L for go to top/middle/bottom of page. I'm using a keyboard attached via USB through camera connection kit (I believe it's the same as what a bluetooth keyboard would do). If that gets fixed then this is definitely a five star app.

It's awesome to have Vim on my tablet. This is the best iOS text editor I have ever used.
