Worth the price, and very simple and easy to use UI. Thank you very much!If the editor had a search function that would be nice.
Super app!

Many thanks to the developer. Must have for on the go for anyone into PHP.
Not perfect.

Doesn’t fully support iCloud files. It won’t automatically update the file on iCloud, you’ll need to “move” it back. This is the biggest issue I have.Only includes an outdated, discontinued and unsupported version of PHP for the $14 it costs. Demands $7 for a reasonably recent version. Second issue.No swipe gestures throughout the UI, creating slight delays between tasks. Not a dealbreaker but inconvenient.Doesn’t include multiple syntax colour themes independent of the UI theme. No biggie, but you best hope you like their colour scheme.Hmm. Feels half-baked to me. It has SO MUCH potential... Not overly impressed.
- PHP 8.0 Runtime is now included for free
- Updated included Wordpress and its SQLite plugin
- General bugfixes and improvements
