GoCoEdit - Code & Text Editor Reviews

Great app

Would use again and again and again

This has some promise to it, however a lot of the minor design and implementation defects seem careless rather than fully thought through. For example, the regular expression for strings ought to be written as { // ... // In the start state parse element "token" : "string", "regex" : "\\"", "stateAfterMatch" : "string", }, // ... { "state" : "string", "parse" : [ { "token" : "string", "regex" : "[^\"]*\\"", "stateAfterMatch : "start", }, { "token" : "string", "regex" : ".*", }, ], } Although lazy star (.*?) operators don't appear to be supported by this design despite it being a native feature to NSRegularExpression, which the app seems to have disabled, it would also make your life as a developer a whole lot easier. The code hinting is also not language based but local context based. Additionally, if people are swapping between files too quickly while saving, it will overwrite the wrong file sometimes. Do you happen to have a beta software program to reduce these kinds of bugs? Another bug is that code hints appear as only you "insertText:" but not as you "deleteBackwards". Great effort as a solo programmer, however. It's a difficult feat to create a code editor, similarly but not nearly as complex as making a compiler. Thumbs up for a reasonable product that I'm sure you just made because the ones already out there just don't seem to cut it for you.

Great app and service

I can't say enough good things about the app or the dev! Constant support in seeking up my home ftp to the app! Best mobile editor I have ever used!

Only functionality missing and they added it!

Edited: As mentioned below, doing edits on projects usually means folders of files. They added, it works. I've changed to using this app primarily and it works great. I also appreciate the little 'joystick'(?) to quickly move the cursor around. It's super handy if you don't have an external keyboard. Overall, I dig it. (Original below..) Import/Download Folder of files. How could that have been glossed over as a feature? Quite tedious to create a folder (and its internal folder structure; project anyone?) locally then import the contents of EACH folder into each respective folder. Whew! .. just typing that was exhausting, imagine running through the actions for EACH project. Live editing is really nice, but sometimes you need the whole project directory as you might be testing/working offline. Besides that, great editor, slick ui, and quite fast. I gave it 3 ⭐️ but I still will use textastic as the loss in efficiency regarding not being able to download full folders is a loss I can't take in a text editor. I'll keep an eye on it in hopes that functionality is implemented because the editor itself is visually pleasing and functions quite well.

The Best

This is an amazing app, jaw dropping really, well worth the price. The best iOS programming app ever built. This app also has an amazing website to go with it. Fantastic file and folder managment. Keep up the great work!

The greatest app for iOS ever!

Infiniti geek

So useful, clean and fast! Great intelligence, autocomplete, and file organization. There is nothing like it for iOS. And the developer is really quick and detailed when replying to feature requests and questions. This is easily worth the money.

Top notch!

Just want to refresh my review... Still awesome!!! I don't know what to say. This program is brilliant. I have been using many other editors, but this is the first one that really feels like a true development editor. Others I tried are a bit gimmicky, good code editing but not great keyboard support and navigation. This is a great tool. I hope developer will continue to add out features (ex: iCloud sync of preferences between iPad and iPhone, ability to synchronize a local directory with a remote directory, code snippet - to quickly insert text snippets and eventually better intellisense code-completion). But even with out these things, I am very impressed.

Great app, Great service

Been looking for a app to work on my ABB rapid code away from the plant. I use UltraEdit however nothing compared. Download this app and it was ok but my code didn't color etc as I needed. Sent an email, some code examples and a word file I use. Within a week they sent a module that works! Awesome service and communications. Finally I have a way to edit code on my iPad. Thanks GoCoEdit for caring about your customers. Keep up the good work.

Wow! Amazing

I came here looking for a notes app that synced with Dropbox, like Notesy or something. I wasn't looking to edit code (although I am a programmer), but when I saw the reviews, and the features, I thought I'd give it try. This editor blows away anything like a normal notes app. It's in a whole other league. If all you want to do is edit text files, and you are a "normal" (non programmer) user, maybe it's overkill, but honestly it's great for the simple stuff, and the price is similar to notes apps. But then there is SFTP and SSH? Wow. Syntax highlighting for code? Wow. Other great stuff too. I have not tried other "text editors" (as opposed to "notes apps") for iOS, but this is way beyond what I was looking for, and that's a good thing as far as I am concerned!

Best Code Editor on the App Store

Kingdomseed

I've purchased several apps to help me do some coding in Java on the App Store, like Coda and Pico Compiler (this is my only personal device at the moment, although I have a work laptop for real coding.) This app is by and far the best one, offering the best file organization and syntax highlighting for Java. The user interface is great as well. You can't compile of course, as this is essentially an advanced text editor in the vein of Atom, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Notepad++. Anyhow, keep up the great work dev! Would love to see some type of syntax error high-lighting for Java and would love to see an option to push your code to an online Java compiler for code testing. Those are my nice to have features.
