This App is probably the best app I ever purchased and I highly recommend it over any other similar app.

In addition to obvious shortfalls and great functionality on the current app version, here is my personal opinion on DraftCode

Advantages:)

~ It handles large files really well.

~ I have pushed its capabilities and it has not crashed once (yet).

~ It can run fully functional websites.

~ There are very creative ways to make this app completely versatile.

~ touch interface for editing code is very good and very accurate.

~ Really is such a pleasure working with DraftCode.

~ New Folder and File creation is easy.

~ File structure organisation is great.

~ Renaming files are easy.

~ Moving files are super easy.

~ Has great php support.

~ Their team are great at responding to support questions/requests.

~ Really makes developing mobile.

~ Ability to create php scripts and test them on the fly with code crashing assistance.

~ App is really responsive and delivers great performance (no hanging).

~ Has a great history of App revisions/updates.

~ Their team considers user requests for future improvements (within apple app limitations/restrictions).

~ In terms of what is available for PHP/Code mobile apps, there is none better I am aware off.

~ This app provides developers with the ability to showcase client websites on-the-go.

Downsides :(

~ DraftCode (v1.5.4) release 07/10/2016
* cURL Extension not loaded
* mbString Extension not loaded
* IMAP Extension not loaded
* GD Library not loaded
* Various other "common" extensions not loaded
* No document code search capability
* No document code search and replace capability.
* No auto select and highlight between corresponding brackets.
* No collapsing of selected text.
* Can be frustrating to scroll up or down inside files with many many lines of code in order to get to the target/required line

How do you import files?

While I like that this runs the latest version of PHP I find in unacceptable that one cannot import files or even make directories on this app? How am I supposed to import my projects and work on this? how can I get a refund?
