so far so good

nice app. if you want to know what this app is capable of then run their latest addition to it, wordpress locally on the ipad.

Do not buy!

This app always freezes and crashes! I thought this would do me wonders but it is unusable!

After installing the app it was freezing after only entering a few characters. I shut down my iPad and restarted and now it seems to be working fine. Not sure if it will start freezing again. It's a promising app so hopefully any bugs will be taken care of.

Love this ability

In 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.

Amazing

TheDeputeeMaster

This 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.

Nice App

@kamkejj

This app is pretty great and works well. Just need GD support to run Drupal instead of Wordpress. Thanks for this.

Loses your work

You've already worked exceptionally hard typing code on a iOS device. It becomes more frustrating when the app deletes all your code after tapping 'run'.

Very disapointed

GeneralError

Perhaps I missed it, but I can't find anywhere in the description that tells me that I can't upload/download scripts to/from my web server. Had it been clear that there was no easy way to get my existing scripts loaded, I would not have purchased it. What's the point of developing code that can't be (easily) uploaded to my website. While the built in ability to run and test scripts is a plus, But that still doesn't mean that I won't have to test/debug it again once I get it loaded on my website. I know (by reading the faqs on their website) that apple does not allow FTP on applications that execute code. But it should really be made clear in the description of this app that this functionality is disabled.

Local Webserver

I 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!

really useful

I 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.
