Hello, please, fix the problem with browser. It is not reacting on touch also with an ApplePen. To activate hover, you need to hold longer. It should works just on click. Thank you!

Developer Response
On April 4, 2025, Textastic switched from a paid-upfront app to a free download with in-app purchases. If you purchased the app before this change, you keep permanent access to all previously purchased features and do not need to pay again.As long as Textastic is downloaded from the App Store using the same Apple Account that was used for the original purchase, this is automatically detected and everything is unlocked. If the app was downloaded with a different Apple Account, it may appear locked until it’s reinstalled using the original account. There has been no removal of previously purchased features.If this doesn’t resolve the issue, please contact support by email and I’ll be happy to help.
- Fixed: On iOS 18 and 26, underlines were not drawn in the code editor (for example, for links and email addresses in Markdown files).
