User Reviews

Buffer Editor excels as an iPad code editor with strong remote capabilities (SSH/SFTP, AWS) and direct GitHub integration, plus solid customization options and multi-file tabs. However, stability and reliability are serious concerns: frequent crashes, flaky Git/SVN-like behavior, SSH authentication problems, and UI glitches hinder everyday use. It also trails desktop editors in features and polish. Overall, a powerful tool for remote coding on iPad, but users should expect ongoing reliability issues and await further refinement.

Pros

Robust remote development via SSH/SFTP, enabling on-device editing of servers and cloud projects.
Direct GitHub integration, allowing cloning and editing repos inside the app without external tools.
High customization options, including fonts, spacing, and themes (e.g., Dracula), plus Vim-like editing cues.
Support for multiple open files in tabs and easy saving/uploading to remote servers (CMD-S and SFTP).
Strong iPad-focused code editor capability with feature-rich workflow for remote code and deployments.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability, especially when switching focus between apps.
Unreliable Git/GitLab integration, including commits/push failures and potential loss of work.
SSH authentication/connectivity problems, such as key issues or failed server authentication.
UI/UX glitches and performance issues, including lag, clunky file browser, and confusing navigation.
Incomplete feature set and parity with desktop editors (lacks Emmet, Vim mappings, and broader tooling).

Recent reviews

Very nice app, one of the best editors on appstore, everything is working fine. The REGEX mode is working perfectly fine also. BUT THE ONLY ISSUE I FOUND IS THE NORMAL SEARCH MODE. The string search is not able to search for any symbols. EXAMPLE: can search = “loadCard”, but can’t search = “loadCard(index)” or “loadCard(“. Want to give 5 star but only this thing is hampering productivity and speed. Thank You.
