Look no further, this is the holy grail for coding on iPad! This app is fairly priced, actively supported, and open source to boot. I especially appreciate the extensive customizability and themes. Also the premium bonus was a very fun surprise!If possible, I would love to see support for more languages, such as Powershell. Being able to compile and run Python would also be extremely helpful.Thank you dev for this amazing app!
Amazing!

Great app and highly recomended. Thank you for making this app! One of the first coding apps I found that works offline, and dose not require you to pay for anything important, and works fin. The only issue i found is that copy, past, and cut do not work geat. PLS fix.
Really great editor

Initially I purchased a competing product because it showed up in multiple reviews online. However that editor has a big solid colour title bar that cannot be hidden. Once I tried Runestone I realized belatedly that I made a somewhat costly mistake. This app has a small non-intrusive title bar and the default theme looks good off the bat. I use Sublime Text and this looks similar when editing bash scripts. Even the Open File screen looks very slick. And it’s reasonably priced. I wish I had tested this one first.
Perfect

Perfect addition to my work flow, developing on the iPad just got better with Runestone, the Easter egg also gets an additional star that sadly wont show up on here.
Fixes an issue where the "Always Open" option in the Unsupported File Type dialog would be disabled even after purchasing Premium.
