By far the best text editor and development tool on iOS. This is a truly professional tool that has improved at a steady pace over the years. It really should cost more than it does — we need to support these kinds of apps because iOS (especially iPadOS) desperately needs them.
Excellent code editor for iPad
Exp-developer
The only feature I’d really like to see added is a paste icon button, probably in the top ribbon with the undo/redo icon buttons. Right now to paste I need to tap precisely where I want to paste… twice… in order to get the context ribbon to pop up with paste in it. This can be quite finicky to get right, and a button at the top would neatly solve that.Otherwise, this app is great and has many features. Would be nice to have better integration with git or the app Working Copy, but I have a workflow for that which isn’t too bad.
Developer Response
Thanks a lot! I’m currently working on an update that will improve the behavior of the edit menu (copy/paste) and make it appear more reliably when tapping the insertion point.I appreciate your support and feedback!
Useless Greedy App

Cant even create files without paying, so whats the point of the app?
Developer Response
Textastic offers a free 7-day trial when starting a monthly or yearly subscription, so you can explore all features before deciding to buy. No payment is charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. If you prefer not to subscribe, a one-time purchase option is also available.Offering a free download with in-app purchases is currently the most practical way to provide a trial through the App Store.
Does Textastic do code collapsing or folding?
Me3_z
Really need that to help make sense of things and to focus on what is necessary
Developer Response
Currently, code folding isn’t supported in Textastic, but I appreciate the suggestion and will keep it in mind for future improvements.
Fixed a rare issue where a view could be dismissed twice.
