Buffer Editor - Code Editor Reviews

Can still be improved!

So far, I really enjoy this app, and I love that I don't need working copy to access github. However, while the auto-complete features are already great, I feel as though this app still lags a bit behind Textastic in terms of productivity. For me, the biggest issue is the lack of emmet, which is something I've become used to using in every text editor I've used to date; I really hope to see it appear in a future release. As the app is right now, despite costing the same, it's just not quite on par with Textastic yet, but the way things are going, I have hope that that will change soon!

Thrilled for editing over SSH

I tried almost every iPad editor available (as of 2020). For what I need — adding an SSH connection and editing remote files — this app finally nailed it. I had an SSH connection running within minutes, you can navigate your remote file structure in the left-hand pane, tap a file to open, type with streamlined highlighting, and save (cmd-s) to immediately upload your changes to the remote server. I admit that this is a pretty low bar, but no other app accomplishes it! You get tabs for multiple open files, and a basic remote terminal. Also, I really appreciated the ability to customize the font/size/spacing and theme — I finally have the Atom “One Dark” theme back that I missed from my Mac! I feel more productive already :)

This once was a great app

... but as of 10/25/19: Trying to save data, results in the error message: Failed to write data. Check permissions. — but the permissions are OK. The ssh terminal does no longer accept keyboard input. The file browser shows „Size: 0. Modified (null)“ for all files

About as good as most, but that’s not saying much

Most text editor apps for code on iOS fall short. This one is no different, unfortunately. It doesn’t really support vim keys, it doesn’t allow key mapping or anything approaching customization. This is clearly a lot of good effort, though, and it might be the best I’ve seen in the general text editor category. There are better editors for site design, and for regular text writing (not code) there are boatloads of better editors, but not for just writing code.

Great for cloud administrators

Excellent tool for AWS services from an iPad. Full ssh client and sftp based code editor. Editor is comprehensive and full featured. Excellent integration with source repositories. App support is excellent and quick. 5 stars well done.

It doesnt RUN The code

When I bought this program I thought I can RUN The code,, I would recommend the creators to specify their product. What else to say Im a little sad that I cant cant do programming on an IOS

Superb iPad Code Editor!

I have been looking for a code editor for the iPad for some time. There are lots of text editors, Markdown editors, etc. but I wanted something that would do code highlighting, etc. I searched around the web and found several suggestions and bought them all (iOS apps are so inexpensive, that’s easy to do). But what made me start using Buffer was that I kept seeing updates come through the App Store. This isn’t an app that’s been released and abandoned by the developer, it is regularly updated all the time. When I had a question about how to use it, I sent an email and received a prompt reply, even offering more help than I needed. I now have Buffer set up with Working Copy, and it works great! I don’t write many app reviews (not nearly as many as I should) but I definitely wanted to thank this developer for being on-top of things. It saddens me to see several low-star reviews, even after the developer has responded, and often fixed the issue. Maybe people don’t know they can (and should!) update their reviews when things change!

Good Editor. Fast Support.

You need to use it with a external keyboard to get the full benefit. It’s a clean / good looking editor. It makes for a great coding tool. I was able to directly connect to my dev Digital Ocean server and modify the files directly. Support was excellent and prompt to answer any of my questions.

Deleted after 2 minutes!

I tried to open a file with .VBS extension. It failed to open it! Renamed it to .TXT no problem opening it! I used another app gocoedit. No issue. Deleted this one. Don’t care about refund!

Frequent updates is great.

Can you please add backward/forward search on classes and methods please? This would be such a great feature!!
