Review summary

RegexH is praised for its detailed regex explanations, cheat sheet, and dark mode that enhances usability on mobile devices. It is lightweight and developers provide quick support. However, users find the interface somewhat confusing, especially when using replacement mode due to output field being hidden. Missing features such as opening files, find next, and multiline mode behavior are noted. Keyboard overlap issues and incomplete replacement functionality (like tabs and newlines) are reported. Overall, RegexH is a useful regex tool with room for UI and feature improvements.
Pros
  • Provides regex syntax explanation and expands capture groups which aids learning.
  • Includes a handy cheat sheet and helpful tools for testing and creating regex expressions.
  • Dark theme option is well received and easy on the eyes.
  • Responsive and helpful developer support improving issues promptly.
  • Lightweight and efficient app optimized for mobile usage.
Cons
  • Interface can be confusing and not very intuitive, especially in replacement mode where output text is hidden under the keyboard.
  • Lack of some requested features like open file support, find next function, and multiline matching behavior issues.
  • Keyboard sometimes covers matched results making it difficult to review regex matches.
  • Some users experienced issues with replacing characters like tab (\t) and newline (\n) not working properly.
  • Clipboard functionality for running matches or replacements on clipboard content is missing but desired.

Absolutely everything I was looking for. Has syntax explanation, even expands capture groups. Has a handy cheat sheet as well. Only thing I'm missing is a more detailed list of regex elements like my other favorite regex tool does.

Hi, thank you for bringing this useful tool, which I definitely recommend. - The Dark theme colors are well chosen. However there is still much room for improvement regarding the interface, which is not yet very practical and still feels a bit messy/poor. I never remember how to find the output text, in the "replacement mode", simply hidden under my keyboard. I feel lost even though it is such a simple app, lol. The top-right menu could use icons. Pay in mind it's just constructive criticism :)

While it's a great app in theory, you often have to switch modes for the newly entered values to be evaluated, and the referred engine doesn't always evaluate the strings properly.

For years, off and on, each new phone, I'd either get curious about regex again or I'd have a use for it. This app has been helpful many times over.

I didn't realize how good this app was until I really looked into it. Now, I feel like I can write any kind of challenging regex expression. I believe every science enthusiasts should know regex, that will make searching and finding any written specific text a pleasure. You can even use regex searching things in google.

I do not know why the people who are given this app such a high rating. First off, you cannot open files. Secondly, the text window is way too small. Thirdly, multiline is backwards. ".*the" shouldn't select the entire text when multiline is disabled. When disabled, it should stop at the first "the" it finds. Fourth, there is no find next. ..and lastly, but not the lease, there is no text field for you to enter a replacement string.i
