## Review summary

Most reviews view PHP Editor as a lightweight tool useful for quick, remote PHP edits, with some positive notes on autocompletion and keyboard customization. However, reliability is a major issue: reports of bugs, lag, and the app not working, plus the lack of a code execution feature and limited PHP support. Several reviews describe it as a basic text editor rather than a full IDE and suggest missing FTP/server integration and a Save function as needed improvements.

### Pros

- Great for quick, remote PHP edits on a server when away from a PC.
- Editor features include autocompletion and a customizable keyboard.
- Fast and lightweight for simple editing tasks.

### Cons

- No option to execute PHP code within the app.
- Reported bugs, lag, and instances where the app doesn’t work.
- Primarily a basic text editor with limited PHP editing capabilities / not updated for newer PHP versions.
- Some users report a very bad keyboard experience.
- Lacks built-in FTP or server integration; requires external tools to upload/download files.
