This editor is great in many ways. I particularly like the close integration with the file system of the iPad, enabling the user to edit in place documents that are stored in other apps like Documents. I was wondering, though, about the possibility of adding newlines at the end of each line-break forced by the screen width. E.g. if I adjust the screen width to be 70 characters, would it be possible to add in a newline at each apparent break, making it a real break, instead of having the whole paragraph be one long line. I’m thinking of writing LaTeX documents that I then export back to my Linux box for final editing with Vim, where, of course, it is traditional and useful to have a series of short lines of about 70 characters.

Meine persönliche Bewertung: 0 Stern Ich habe bereits mehrere ähnliche Apps getestet – auch diese hier. Leider muss ich sagen, dass der einmalige Kaufpreis von 69,99 € absolut nicht gerechtfertigt ist. Es gibt deutlich bessere Apps mit denselben oder sogar mehr Funktionen, die einmalig unter 6 € kosten. Die Bedienung und der Funktionsumfang dieser App sind im Vergleich eher durchschnittlich. Für diesen hohen Preis hätte ich wesentlich mehr erwartet. Mein Fazit: Nicht kaufen – es gibt viel günstigere und leistungsstärkere Alternativen.

Eine Preissteigerung von 11 auf 70 € ist wirklich nicht mit der aktuellen Inflation zu erklären. Besser wären kleinere Preissteigerungen gewesen. Mal sehen was da noch vom Entwickler kommt. Traue mich nicht mehr App-Updates zu machen, da oft nach der Einführung eines Abo-Modells Bestandskunden auch nicht mehr alle Funktionen nutzen können. Sehr gut das es hier noch einen Einmalkauf gibt. Ein weiterer Entwickler vermindert seinen guten Ruf durch spontane Gier. Traurig. Aus dem Grund muss man immer die letzten Bewertungen prüfen. 😉

I use it daily for writing my stories in LaTeX langage. I use sftp connection with my Linux server and transfer the file to my repositories. If I want to see the result I compile it with the embedded terminal and can see the pdf on my iPad, it’s perfect for me, thanks to the developers 🤠

What kind of greedy app developer do you have to be to even not allow file creation and deletion in a free version of the app? What even is the point of a code editor app when the only thing you can do in the free version is view files??
