User Reviews

Code App on iPad delivers a strong, VS Code-like IDE with solid Git integration and an all-in-one workflow at a good price. However, reviewers repeatedly report bugs across views, editing and text-handling issues, and occasional stale run results. There’s clear demand for newer language/version support and tooling. Overall, it’s a powerful, appealing option that’s hampered by reliability and update gaps.
Pros
  • VS Code-like IDE feel on iPad with familiarity for code editing
  • Strong Git integration and version control features
  • All-in-one IDE: clone repos, write code, and run tests/tests remotely within a single app
  • One-time purchase pricing offers good value and perceived affordability
  • Built-in Node.js terminal for running code locally without switching apps
Cons
  • Widespread bugs and instability across multiple views, impacting reliability
  • Editing experience is flaky or limited, including poor text selection/copy-paste support and unreliable bracket/auto-complete behavior
  • Code execution sometimes doesn’t reflect edits and runs stale output (e.g., HTML/JS/CSS showing old code)
  • Requests for updates to language/tool versions (Python 3.x updates, Rust and Go support) indicate lag in current language support

For as much as it does work, it doesn’t work well. The “Hello World” default tends to override file changes when making new files…. so you have to open and close the app or rename the file a couple times for the state to save the actual changes, so it’s not advised to use this app for anything important until they fix that.

Really like this app. I wish Monaco editor supported basic text operations like selection copy paste etc. I find myself going back and forth which is super annoying. Auto bracket closure often fails to auto close a bracket. “cout” often silently fails to output text to the console. Restarting the app fixes it but it’s constantly failing requiring constant restarts.

Every view has a bug with something. It’s impressive the number of bugs this app has while being listed so high in the app store. I couldn’t get past them to use it much more than 30 minutes.
