What’s New

Version 10.4.1

- Updated libcurl, libssh2, and OpenSSL to the latest versions. The new version of the libcurl library included in this update fixes an issue when uploading files to FTPS servers using TLS 1.3: if the file was larger than about 18 KB, the upload could result in a "partial upload" error and a 0-byte file on the server. This should no longer occur.
- File transfer: Improved activity indicator when refreshing remote file lists.
- Improved positioning of the code completion list when entering text at the end of a line.
- Added “main” tag added to HTML code completion.

Just what’s needed for text.

Having tried many of the text editors for iOS and looking for the BBEdit of iOS I thought I just wasn’t going to get there.
Then I stumbled on Textastic and it’s fantastic. Does everything i need and much more I’ll probably never need.
Recently I was sent a file which everything else declared as being unopenable but Textastic just fired it up like it was a regular txt file.

Good selection of customisations and all the useful things like copy/paste between iOS and MacOS just work. It’s a really versatile and useful tool.

Great app!

This app is exactly what I was looking for. Being able to access my own local/iCloud directories and add the folder to the app is very useful. I can now mount the directory with my whole website and easily make changes. What’s also very useful is the “Preview in Safari” feature, which really makes it handy when developing a website. App is very responsive with many good themes. Highly recommended!

First class text editor

Brilliant plain text editor, not just for coders. I use it for editing GPX and TCX files, but also with the Stylus app and my Apple Pencil to just hand write notes and instantly convert them to text. Then I can correct and copy or export to another app for formatting if I need to. It’s fast becoming my most used app, highly recommended. One major issue though, it crashes with what it calls ‘large’ files of over 5MB - for me thats a really small file, so I still find myself having to use a Mac or PC to edit real large files
