Hexer — Hex File Viewer

Bytes are highlighted in different colors: Printable characters are cyan, spaces blue, null bytes grey, control characters pink and so on. The colors appear across the binary, hexadecimal, and ascii column — or can just be turned off completely.
In addition to that the app has a long list of features, preferences, and options, like:
• Many popular themes from text editors and terminals
• Line numbers (offsets)
• Overscroll
• Complete control over the formatting of what you copy or share
• Column counts in powers of two (8 bytes, 16, 32, ...) or in any number that fits
• Interpret bytes as ASCII or ISO Latin 1
• The UI is navigable by keyboard and there are keyboard shortcuts to toggle almost every option
• ...
The App is made by a real person out of love. When you buy the app (no hidden in app purchases) the money goes straight to me to support development. If you have any questions or feature requests you can just write me an email and let me know. I will continue development with many more planned features like editing, search, multiple windows, tabs, and jump to offset.

Great, but waiting for edit functionality

Very polished. Looks good. Works well. In fact an effectively replacement for Files app? Just wish I could actually edit files. Changing extensions names too would be great. 3.5/5 for now
So far so good

This app is really great and I appreciate the customization. I am very eager for the planned features and the biggest one would be editing Hex files
Excellent and versatile file viewer

It says hex, but you can view in binary and ASCII as well. The app is really well thought out with nice features such as: - strong search facility with REGEX -you can select different types of views with just a tap -A real bonus is all the relevant file information that is provided by the app. I would give it five stars except for a minor, but annoying, bug which I have reported to the developer. I'm running the latest version of iOS 14 and the caps lock and num lock features on the keyboard do not work with this app. Instead of staying locked, they switch back to their default positions. So if I turn on caps lock and type "b" I get a "B". But all the following Characters are lowercase, and you can see The caps lock turn off. Same thing with num lock. You get one number and then the keyboard switch is back to alpha. All in all, it is still the best file viewer I have found for iOS and it's right up there with the best file viewers I have used on windows and Linux. It does look like the developer is making regular updates, so that's great. I appreciate that he has a link to send bugs and feature requests.
