2024-11-25	Vamy Jeon	I love this app but one thing about this is it's an android application yet the code always extend so long and you can't swipe it to see you'll have to move it by the cursor over and over it's a time consuming and annoying task for me I hope this gets resolved otherwise I love it all! Everything is free although you get ads while running the code but you can create free files for any or almost every language it comes with examples just perfect for a beginner like me <3
2023-04-14	Code	The app is a lifesaver for coders on the go. It's user friendly and secure, with the option to keep files private. Sure, it can be a bit tricky to view code while writing it, but I just type my code in a notes app first and paste it into the app problem solved! Like who needs a desktop, when you have fat fingers and a small screen to get the job done? 😂 Take your time to get familiar with the app's interface it's worth it! I highly recommend!
2022-03-03	Aaron Farmer	Original: Overall very positive but it just ate a few hours of work and I don't know what happened. I plugged my phone in, came back, and it was back to a previous version from a few hours ago. Update: my phone just went from regular mode to power saver mode and it happened again, so I think last time it went from power saver to regular. Something about the switch makes it load old saves even if you've saved more recently. Please fix.
2021-03-23	Zion on Blitz!	Besides the only thing I like about this coding app, which is files that can be created within folders, I really dislike this app. I am a Python beginner, and so I would have to switch back & forth to do things. The app layout looks very clunky and hard to navigate. My most negative thought on this app is how very poorly optimized it is. The app is very poorly optimized that doing it multiple times will corrupt your entire, thus you have to start over again. This app needs a ton of improvements.
2021-03-13	Austin Brown	It's a neat idea. It's like a social network of coding on your phone. It's very slow, however, and you'll find yourself getting tired of waiting on everything. It doesn't seem to do much caching and every time you switch to a new file or project you've already visited, it feels like it's downloading it anew. The builds are also super slow and can't seem to run in the background of you want to use other apps. They have a paid tier which speeds up builds, but seems like it will still be slow.
2020-11-02	Gary Cooke	It's great except for the fact that (1) it's hard to scroll horizontally because it is sensitive to a small vertical component of scrolling which makes it start scrolling vertically, and then it becomes locked in a vertical scroll, insensitive to any horizontal component; (2) it doesn't have multi-line tabbing; (3) even after successfully scrolling to the right, it snaps back to the left. I have to use Acode text editor and then copy into the Dcoder compiler for these reasons.
2020-09-23	Jon S	Beware Updates. Great app. But every time they make a major update all of my saved files disappear and monetization attempts become just a little bit more prevelant with each update as well. Good for practice but this issues make it unreliable for long term projects. With this last update I seem unable to create directories which breaks the app. Going to move on I think.
2020-02-26	A Google user	If an application introduces push notifications (which they should not for ads), it should default to 'off' for existing users. That aside, the application works, basically. It's not a great development experience, but it works. As much as anything else this is a limitation of the input methods (on screen keyboards with autocorrect suck). Perhaps the application could offer an OSK variant with arrows in addition to the parenthesis one? Lastly, no external library support that I can see.
2020-01-31	A Google user	I tried importing css files from local storage using the home screen and it is not showing in the file manager for me to choose them. As for the php , the options in setting are enabled but when I sync locally to save; it save with some additional characters which is not seen in the code, but is seen by the browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). I had to write over the code using another application which is working correctly in the web browsers. Please fix these issues.
2019-12-24	A Google user	Second-year CS student here. This app is the BEST Java IDE I've come across in the Play store; it supports many languages, but I've only used Java and C++. My favorite parts are the keyboard it comes with & the coding challenges, ranging from easy (loops, conditionals etc) to... well, I haven't gotten there yet, lol. Really enjoy using this app to sharpen my coding & problem-solving skills while school's out 😁 thanks to whoever made this and thanks for making the free version so functional!!
