GoCoEdit - Code & Text Editor App yorumlar

This is so useful. Stop working with Google Drive recently though. Is there someway around this?

My teams workflow, we do everything on the server… I know, I know, git commit push pull… Not in a wordpress shop. This is fantastic for loading up all of your SFTP client server accounts for easy access and simple editing of their style.css or functions.php. The addition of our standard color themes for the IDE is nice to make it universal feel to set your VSCode or Nova/Panic IDE similarly. I’m so excited about this I’m probably not even making sense. This is it. I’ve purchased all of the expensive guys, Txtastic, Co da, all of them, this is worth every penny.

Needed something to quickly edit some files on my home server from my iPad. Took a chance on this app, and did not regret it. It’s simple, useful (brings me right to my last connection upon launch), and beautiful. Thank you.

Easy the best code editor for iOS. The sidebar design and easy access to files/folders puts it above all others.

When I connect to Dropbox, not all the text files in my directories are listed, so I can't edit them with this editor. I've contacted the developer, but this defect remains. I re-downloaded the app because it claims an updated Dropbox interface this revision, but there's been no change. Two stars because I really like the editor for the files I *can* access, but until I can access *all* files in a Dropbox directory, it's useless.

Update: Developer finally responded, so changing to three stars. If printing is enabled, I'll increase to 5 stars. Developer said it's not that easy to implement, but as a former developer, it seems like it should just be a call to existing IOS routines; not completely having to write new code? Anyway, I appreciate finally getting a response, and look forward to that function. --- Overall, I think GoCoEdit is a well-written, and very functional text editor. I was excited when I purchased it, because it had a look and feel the professional editors that I used during my programming career. I am only giving it three stars because it seems to be missing the basic IOS print capability, which I believe should just be a call to existing iPhone/iPad code? Many times, if I have gone to the trouble to format a special list or document, I may want a printed copy. I can't do this. If I try to take the GoCoEdit formatted text, and copy/paste it into another app that WILL print, invariably, the formatting of the text does not port properly to the other app, so my document becomes skewed. I really don't understand why print capability is missing? The developer listed and email address for questions, comments, or suggestions. I have sent an email to that address two or three times, just to ask 1) if I was just not seeing the print method, or 2) if he could consider adding that function. Sadly, I have never even gotten an acknowledgment of my email or question. I also suggested one other addition (that is available in PC packages such as UltraEdit), and that is the 'block' move or edit function. Especially when creating/reformatting complex lists or code, I always found the 'block editing' function to be invaluable. Again, I believe the PRINT function 'should' be a fairly simple call to available IOS code? If this was fixed, I would easily give this 5 stars, instead of one.

Good dark mode. One of the few apps that work over ssh. I wish there was a way to hide tab bar and everything above it, like the developer’s other app gtw does. Fonts are good, but options are limited, only fixed width fonts.

I’ve been using this app for about 1.5 years and love it. Thanks for making such a nice and powerful option, I use it daily to do a ton of web edits and so on. I have tried many other developer editors (IDE is taking things a bit for at this point) and have been pretty unhappy with them. Textastic for example - I do own it (Even bought it on the Mac so I could sync) but it’s overly simplistic. It’s a nice *text* editor, but once you go into code-writing-mode, the “tools” that are expected of a developer code editor are lacking….I honestly don’t know what all of the hype is around that app. Coda by Panic is a bit better, but it’s not updated and is pretty old. I’m just guessing, but hopefully they’ll be able to successfully port over their new flagship full true IDE which is called Nova. Hoping that’s what’s coming to iPadOS, ASAP! So to come back to GoCoEdit: It’s a seriously powerful tool, especially for developers. The integration with Working Copy (Git app for iOS) is great to have working as well, without that, I couldn’t recommend the app (But it works with it and very well, so +1 there! Any further improvements and just keeping up-to-date with them would be all I ask of you). Other notable features of GCE: * Not expensive - THANK YOU! * Able to edit LIVE files directly on a remote host without having to download, then upload files (huge timesaver). Of course, editing saved files located on-device, on another server, in the cloud and much more, just *works*. I’d honestly say things work extremely well and blow the competitors away (Sure, there are things that could be added…syncing to a Mac app such as Panic’s Nova would be a MASSIVE bonus!). * Syntax highlighting works well and as it should. Not much else to say here. * Works on plain iOS (I use it 99.9% on my iPad though). This is helpful in a pinch. Nobody wants to edit a ton of code or build huge projects on an iPhone, or I don’t think anyone does. But there have been 2 times in particular when I was out doing errands and got the dreaded call saying our client’s site was down. I pulled GCE out on my iPhone, logged into their FTP and made a few changes to a config file and - done! GCE really helped and saved me on those times alone. Definitely a major player in the iOS Apps for Developers list. * It has nice themes and built-in dark mode. * iPadOS support is fantastic. I’m using an external Logitech case/keyboard and hotkeys/shortcuts work great out of the box. I’m sure trackpad support works well too (Say, for Apple’s Magic Keyboard w/trackpad), I just don’t have one. …But I do use my Bluetooth mouse with it (basically a trackpad to iOS) and it has worked nicely. * Native iOS features that work with you (not against you like some apps) Things like, support for drag-and-drop, split screen on iPad, works with the Files app, code folding & hinting (big one!), bracket matching, RegEx search capabilities, Siri Shortcuts are supported (Though I have to say that I haven’t used them…I need to get back into that habit), Snippets are nice to have, Preview browser, lots of server types are supported, integrated shell, and tons more. * Git Support! It works with Working Copy (the only real option for Git on iOS (it’s also very affordable and works well with many apps.There isn’t built-in Git support, but like competitors, GCE does support version control through an app like Working copy). I could keep going on and on why this app is at the top of my dev app list. I think it’s an excellent buy, price tag is definitely *not* greedy, and it is top in the dev editor class in my opinion. It doesn’t have the thousands of reviews that Textastic got, they just got lucky and put out a dev editor (which again, is SO simple…too much so that I just don’t see why anyone would use it for any real world project. Never thought I’d say this: Just to give myself a challenge during Covid, I decided to see how far I could get with developing a custom WordPress theme for a client. Again, this was WordPress, and starting with a fully-blank theme that I was making. My Mac wasn’t working at the time so I didn’t have much choice. But I quickly found using GCE was not only quick and straightforward but it actually helped me build out the first version without any major hiccups. That’s saying a LOT. I used the editing features (mainly HTML, CSS, PHP and JS and similar files) every second. This app really was a solid rock and workhorse…powerhouse. I fully recommend it to any developer as it offers so much for so little money (and NO subscription model either, which is refreshing and a requirement of me at this point!!!!!!). There isn’t much else to say besides, this app covers all of the main features a developer (Especially if you’re a web developer). It gets regular updates and is a solid development app. I think it should be #1 in the “Developement” category. Wow. Long review, but this app deserves it. Thanks to the developer(s) that make GoCoEdit, please keep up the great work!

Really useful to have on the iPad Pro for a lightweight workspace to tweak embedded systems via SSH. The only major complaint I have is that it seems to insist on Internet access before it will allow a remote connection. I often use an Ethernet dongle to connect with embedded systems on private networks, so if I’m working in an environment where I can’t also connect to the Internet via WiFi, GoCoEdit becomes useless for no technical reason. Please consider fixing.

I wanted an app that I could turn lights on and off from my Apple watch, w/Raspberry Pi. App is fantastic!! !! The rest of the review is a more of a how to. ( turn light on/off with watch using a relay board) Save the below files to your Pi directory home/pi. When you first login using SSH and type ls you should see these files light_on.py & light_off.py light_on.py #Light on import RPi.GPIO as GPIO GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) GPIO.setup(28, GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output(28, GPIO.HIGH) GPIO.cleanup() exit() light_off.py #Light off import RPi.GPIO as GPIO GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) GPIO.setup(28, GPIO.OUT) GPIO.output(28, GPIO.LOW) GPIO.cleanup() exit() Now move to your iPhone and open the app Click three dots upper right>click show mini player Click scripts upper right>click plus Write sudo python light_on.py click yellow check upper right Write sudo python light_off.py click yellow check upper right Click three lines upper left>click cloud lower left>click plus Click plus sign next to sftp/ssh Name - anything you want Host - ip address of Raspberry Pi Username - pi Password - your password Private key leave blank Initial path leave blank Port 22 Preview Reboot watch and iPhone

I love the app, I think it works well with my workflow. However, I have an issue where every time I press “enter” to go to the next line, there is additional space created that prevents my code from running later on (Python).

I’m loving the ssh shell with linux. I can install Gimp and Discord from the bathtub. I just leave my iPhone in a plastic baggy and ssh into my computer and start installing. They also include language support for virtually every single language. Except Basic. Like what the heck! It’d be nice if basic made it on.

Let’s me quickly edit files directly on remote drive, manually save them or exit them without saving if I want (other editors that I’ve tried, except GTW also by this dev, aren’t easy to manually save and all seem to auto save on exit with no option to disable). Thanks for fixing the problem with Google Drive.

I tried 4 times, every time I went to enter my password for my OneDrive account the program crashed and restated. Besides, why not access them like other apps, through files, where iPad already is logged in and has access.

Fast text editor with syntax highlighting and plenty of themes. But limited fonts and no way to add my own. Really clunky, challenging file manager that looks ported over from a Palm Pilot. Navigation is a total pain. Font sizes are also off, 14 point in this app is rather small on my screen where other apps display 14 pt larger on the screen. It’s a good start, and glad I got it on sale, I hope it gets better, but for now I’ll keep looking for my ideal text editor.

Edit code text locally on device to avoid latency. Intellisense features wold be nice... Easy sync to server that will compile and execute the code. SFTP or better rsync. One bottom sync. A MOSH terminal to display the execution. To also debug. Please not just SSH. SSH is a pain on mobile devices. Without the above features it is just a nice play thing.

I like being able to edit my C++ code from the app, but I am unable to compile it. Can you guys add this feature?

This app is amazing! Very well coded, it’s extensible yet light weight with just the right amount of features! Great UI, and works well with dropbox so I can see, analyze, or edit my projects on the go!

Great app, just two quick suggestions: 1. Full screen file management page or possibly a full integration with ios/ipadOS native File app. 2. Equal size of tabs (like web browsers) when you have multiple files open. As far as I know, the tab size is proportional to the file name length.

So far so good, but it’s no vscode or Atom! Most frustrating is that both an email and post to the support repository went unanswered. Also, what’s up with those tiny updates that bump the version number, but keep listing same exact fixes.?!

This is a clean and flexible app. I use it to write LaTeX and other plain-text documents. Very pleased!

Feature-rich, reliable product. The snippets extension is excellent. Quick and responsive support.

I give GoCoEdit five stars because the things it does, it does extremely well. As far as I know it’s the only iOS editor with multiple cursors (like Sublime), which is a wonderful feature. On the downside, it’s lack of clear documentation can mean untangling its power can be a bit tricky. It also (I assume_ enforces a specific workflow: you are either working on local files, or remote server files, but I can’t seem to discover any way to edit a local file, then connect it with a remote server for publishing. In my case this is problematic, because I can easily open files from my Working Copy git repositories, but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to then publish any changes I make to the server. Working directly on the server just doesn’t make sense when you’re using version control. Hopefully as it matures features such as these will be added, but GoCoEdit really is a powerful editor I would like to spend more time with.

I’ve tried all the free apps and frankly, they’re all rubbish. I couldn’t bring myself to drop a wad of money on an app like coda either. I decided to give Goco a try and it is definitely a great app - a good balance of price and functionality. The only thing really limiting the app is the janky “file manager”included with iOS. However, the creator of this app has added the ability to specify / bookmark preferred directories which allows you to easily access specific files and folders. This lemon is definitely worth the squeeze.

Just found this app recently and really appreciating its capabilities. It’s great for editing files on a remote server over SFTP without the download/upload workflow used by many other apps. Syntax highlighting, snippets, custom commands, keyboard shortcuts, and the extended “keybar” are icing on the cake. I was surprised at how much I use the “trackball” feature. While you can accomplish the same thing with force touch on the keyboard, the trackball feature is so much easier to use and control. It makes editing on the iPhone a breeze.

Thanks for a great app! To my knowledge, GoCoEdit is the only iOS app that allows you to open, edit and save text files directly to a remote server over SFTP. For NodeJS development this is a must since you cannot run a local Node server on iOS. I'd like to see enhancements to the Terminal, especially the ability to support Mosh or other improvements to responsiveness (the Terminal can be a bit laggy).

They’ve done an incredible job turning a phone into a tool that is actually capable of developing code on. Only wish I have for it is a setting for carriage return/newline control.

This is the most intuitive and easy to use editor. Some features would make it excellent: - Emmet - ssh_config - Github Excited to see where this app goes

I use this split screen with Termius for a sweet remote editor/console solution (with iCloud updating the documents on my computer). Would LOVE syntax hi-lighting within a markdown code block: ```py example = 0 While True blabla = 0 ```

Love the design of this app. However, I find myself always force closing and reopening trying to delete a folder off my ftp. ALSO, you cannot delete a folder that has files. You literally have to delete each file then the folder. UPDATE: I’ve tried many apps including textastic, buffer editor, ftp pro, etc. After working with this app for about two weeks now I’ve learned a few things and I can say I change my review 100%. Although there are still a few issues this is the only app that works great with editing large zip files.

Finally I found this app that gives an easy way to view and edit plaintext files with varying file extensions in Dropbox. The editor itself looks great with the syntax highlighting. It is quite easy to set up and navigate as well.

Clean, productive syntax color editor.

You’ve done an excellent job of providing an excellent editor in the mobile realm. I had been using another editor that I was fond of but stumbled across this one and you have the extra features I like (code complete that finds my variables as well as standard keywords). Also your theme and snippets support is excellent. Thank You for a great job and look forward to being productive with this tool for years to come.

The only real downside that I can say about this app so far is the lack of a connection to bitbucket or github. Having a built in git client could be a huge boost that would put this app over all others!

Was never able to download files from the remote source and uploads were incredibly slow/non-functional. Took 3+ minutes for a 3 byte .txt upload before i gave up.

Based on ssh and SFTP tests comparing iOS GoCoEdit to Mac connection versus Mac to Mac, GoCoEdit is not keeping up or tracking SFTP protocol exchanges in Sierra. I suggest this because my iOS GoCoEdit logins fail with errors when given correct setup info, and by contrast, my Mac to Mac SFTP (and ssh) logins succeed. Please update SFTP to track security changes in Sierra’s SFTP behavior.

I was thinking it supported mysqli, database but It isn’t available on this app

Great app for development on the go!

This app is amazing and I just love it but I would like one thing to be added: an auto error checker at least for the Java code. Other then that I love this app! Totally recommend it!

and Auto complete function is too bad, almost no help, can only bring trouble. Hope can increase

I’ve tested several of these code editors. My dev workflow is based around using SSH into a remote development server. I really like how this application includes both SFTP and an SSH client with an easy toggle between the two views. This feels like a good mix of features and pricing (there are other features like Dropbox integration that I haven’t used). Would recommend for my workflow.

Amazing man!!!!

Everything is great. But briefly: 1. The keyboard is not under control and it jumps up every moment everywhere. 2. I things the keyboard need cut, copy, paste click, because it’s really hard to using selectors tags. Thanks for making this app I really appreciate it. I suggested it to all of my friends.

It would be perfect then, and the only one in the AppStore in Spanish. I can translate, just tell me! I’ll do it for free. Please consider it, I want the app to be translated.

For the price and feature set, this app is worth it. My only complaint is aesthetic and minor: I find the font used in the majority of the UI (menus, labels, descriptions, etc.) to give off a very “amateur” look and feel. It’s like if were to have the option of writing this review in Comic Sans font. You would probably take me less seriously. A feature request I have is to add support for importing/ cloning a git repo given the HTTPS url (from GitHub, Gitlabs, etc.)

Author is responsive LOTS of options This is ideal for text files where you want fixed-width font editing (example Line 2, 37th character is exactly below line 1 char 37 My favorite visual theme is Ruby Blue

This is easily the best editor out there for iOS. The only thing that comes close (and not by far) is Coda. This is miles ahead. Great job, Christopher!

This app has an excellent ssh client built in. Connected with my Pi Zero W and received shell commands from my phone and watch! Ran shutdown commands and executed python scripts as well.

Worth it 100%. I love the fact that I can connect via sftp and edit my files. This is the most useful app on my iPhone. Then on top of that it has a nice theme to it, different colored text for variables, attributes, etc. Very impressed!
