Blach is very much involved in improving his app, and his feedback site demonstrates that effort clearly. One of the other features that make this app well worth the price tag is the developer, Alexander Blach. The connection is persistent, too after editing a file downloaded from another location, one of the sharing options is re-uploading the file back to the online source. After adding the connection to a known Dropbox account, moving files down to the iPad (and up again to Dropbox) was a two-tap operation. Using Dropbox in Textastic was remarkably straightforward. There's even a running WebDAV server in Textastic, so you can push files to the iPad from a PC, Mac, or Linux machine.

A simple FTP client will connect to any authorized server via FTP/SFTP, or you can connect to any authorized Dropbox account to download and upload files. Textastic takes care of this, baking multiple ways to get files to the iPad right into the application. Opening files are all well and good if they're on the iPad's local storage, but iPads are historically persnickety when it comes to transferring files to and fro. With just the editorial features of Textastic, you would have a darn good coding editor - but there's definitely more to it.

Textastic is the gold standard for editing text or code on the iPad.

Using the app's HTML syntax recognition capabilities, you can easily hand-code and edit HTML files you can also preview files (and Markdown files, too) in a built-in Web preview screen. Over 80 different types of syntax (HTML, Objective-C, C++, Ruby, and JavaScript, to name a very few) can be used, which is extremely helpful for editing code. As an editor, it's a simple, clean interface that does all the things that a good text editor is supposed to do, handling various fonts, tab widths, and auto-indents, with the usual copy and paste, undo and redo, and search and replace.įor coders, though, the magic starts with Textastic's syntax recognition functions. There is a great deal about Textastic to like. We could pretty much stop right here and tell you to just go download the app for $9.99 so you could see for yourself what we're talking about, but that's not entirely helpful. Right now, there is one app that can we can easily recommend as the best code editor for the iPad: Textastic.

With the right apps, the iPad is a very good code editing tool that will let you edit code and update applications on the go. This is not to say that development work on the iPad is impossible. Because of Apple's policy of not allowing any outside code interpreters on the tablet (or any other iOS device, for that matter), developers are not going to be seeing an onboard IDE with compilation capabilities anytime soon. Application development on the iPad has remained an elusive dream.
