GoCoEdit - Code & Text Editor Reviews

Great

Dr.PhD

Was looking for something comparable to sublime that I could use on my iPad and this is great. It's not the most intuitive app but it's also not hard to figure out. One of the better text editors I've found in the App Store

Garbage, don't understand what this even does

Can't even create a new file and just start writing code. A lot of the buttons don't even work

Massive setup required just to see files

Here's what happens. a. Start app b. Get told to go to Github, where the instructions are (and I quote): Upload the gocoeditserver.php to a folder on your Server or clone this repo Chmod the parent folder and give gocoeditserver.php write rights Access gocoeditserver.php in your Browser Notice the "Connector Code" Enter the "Connector Code" in your GoCoEdit App Use it (End quote) So as far as I can tell, you need a computer with a separate FTP client to even get started. And those are the only instructions you get. The developer is completely non-contactable (not even an email address). No doubt he's skilled and well intentioned, but this app is clearly more of a hobby than a business for him.

First rate for programming students!

I'm a game design student at Full Sail who's also a father of two young children while also working a full time job. Lugging my MacBook Pro to work can be quite the task for assignments but this was a true answer to prayers. It just so happens that I use my iCloud Drive to be able to code my assignments anywhere. This app conveniently allows me to pull my code up on my iPad and continue where I left off!! As I learn different languages, the app grows with me and I can code in all the other popular languages as I pick them up. Great job! $5 well invested!!!

Pretty sweet

Incredible, but good luck figuring it out.

If you're an analyst, admin, or developer, this is a killer app for making a phone into a mobile office. It works seamlessly with Transmit, and offers a combination of text-editing features for the iPhone I've seen nowhere else on the App Store. The UI is unconventional, and takes about three minutes to understand. Similarly to "Pro" apps, there is good reason for this, as the iOS HIGs are not applicable to serious text editing. There's a lightweight command language exposed in the find prompt that I'd like to explore. However there is virtually no documentation available within the app, so it's difficult to uncover these types of hidden features.

looks good but not ready for prime time yet

Slow to respond when tapping around. Not enough languages supported for syntax highlighting; Perl is notably missing. I'll keep it and see how it improves.

Better than Texstastic and Others

This is by far the best Java coding app on the app store. Loaded with useful features. Auto completion is great (better than any other iOS app I've seen). File handling is great. And the best part is the support. The developer is extremely responsive and helpful (used Twitter to contact him).

Shows Promise

Keyboard support is minimal. For example, tabs and cursor pgdn/pgup don't work (must touch virtual tab button on screen). Otherwise, it looks really promising. Too much touch interface required -- to code efficiently, I need hands off the screen as much as possible. One interesting feature is integrated miniterminal. Unfortunately, as with other areas such as CMD entry, the lack of keyboard focus requires you to select the field before entering commands, after which you also can't simply type the "Return" key on the keyboard. You must again reach out and touch a virtual button to execute the command. Finally, even a minimal textual instruction manual would be helpful as some of the features aren't intuitive.
