CodeSandbox Positive Reviews

Awesome app, but a suggestionI really love the design, layout, and functionality of the app. I feel like it has the opportunity to replace a portion of my workflow, but there is a large area where I feel could be improved. The React Native support is great to have, and I understand the great limitations of iPadOS compiling and so forth with RN. But it may be possible to support the Expo workflow since they already have an app and there isn’t any native components needed to support. If you could add that support, then this would be the app I think a lot of developers have been waiting for. React Native development on the go!.OdonckersVersion: 2.4.1

Great IDE, missing some featuresThis is a very capable and flexible IDE for students or even professionals wanting to turn an iPad into a real development device. However, with that in mind, there are some shortcomings, annoyances, as well as vital features that serious developers will find missing. Just to list a few that I find significant: - Old Node version. Node v12 LTS will reach end-of-life next year (end of April 2022) and many newer frameworks, such as SvelteKit, don’t support this older Node version. Roadmaps for upgrading to newer node versions need to made transparent, rather than saying “we’ll update our Node implementation not more than once or twice a year”. - No git rebase, cherry-pick, reset, or restore functionality. - Lack of a true terminal, so you’re forced to use the GUI (the interface is good and well-designed, but operations are often faster to do via terminal commands!). - Not all web frameworks are supported (my Gatsby projects, for instance, don’t build well). - Scripts don’t stop by themselves when they should. - Dependency management buried in the Settings menu (it’d be more useful as its own tab, maybe switch places with Documentation?). All in all though, a solid IDE. There’s a lot of potential here!.ArdoitdevVersion: 2.13.0

The Best IDE for React JSThe setup for this is amazing! Absolutely love the new design! The old design felt tacky, like it wasn’t made for iPad OS. As a full time programmer, I am blown away with what they have been able to accomplish for this application! It has came a long way in a year, can’t wait to see where it will be a year from now! Please developers keep up the great work! I think you all have set the standard for how straightforward an IDE can be on the iPad! I have a few ideas that I would love to share with you for new features and improvements!.MasterchiefVersion: 2.0.1

5 StarsReally, really solid app. I sincerely appreciate the dev’s dedication to making this better on a consistent basis as well. I’m a Vue user, so the recent addition of Vue syntax highlighting is a huge plus for me. Keep in mind, that if you do plan on using Vue, you’ll still need to come up with the boilerplate yourself and then add it in. The beauty is that this app does support node packages, so you can run just about everything in here so long as it’s based on that. Update: Dev replied and added a boilerplate for Vue, so getting started is easier than ever. Thank you, nakiostudio!.Amish AydemVersion: 1.17.0

Needs workGreat software but autocomplete sometimes lags. Still needs a way to install packages when needed. Portrait mode only, ohh come on most devs use landscape mode too it will be nice feature to add on there. Also when going to documentation will be great to save where i was at on the page save where my scroll was left off at and not scroll back and see the whole documentation again. My list could keep going email if you want more feedback thanks for the great work..Jonathanwork007Version: 1.17.1

Good idea, needs developmentReally happy the developer came up with this idea. Super handy and the only one of its kind. Editor needs some work, like Find/Replace, auto-completion, add instructions for how npm works (or put an explicit button). Also, this app should take a cue from Termius and use location services to keep itself running in the background...less accidental shutdowns..ArieljakeVersion: 1.14.1

The most amazing JS/React sandbox app I’ve ever used.Ive used many mobile IDEs ever since iPad Pro first came out and this is the very first Javascript focused IDE that’s as good as Pythonista is for Python. It looks like no other app out there, with a window manager and desktop-like environment. If you have an idea and just want to start coding, opening this app and starting a RN project is faster than running create-react-native-app on Desktop..C31d5Version: 1.1.0

Really really goodI didn't expect much and was absolutely blown away. Really great program but I'm a beginner and I had a hard time noticing I had an error in the browser because errors aren't printed in the browser's console. I hope you guys add this in there; it would make my first steps much much easier!.UatemymilkVersion: 2.5.0

Amazingly Beginner FriendlyUse case: Programming a Discord bot as a novice programmer. What to hate: So far, the only issue I’ve encountered is a problem with the ytdl-core package. My Discord bot can run off this IDE (for testing), but breaks the bot without any info as soon as I try playing music. What to love: This IDE will resolve packages automagically (with confirmation) if need be which is amazing! GitHub support is to my needs, clean layout and design, runs in the background if you want it to, and plenty of quality of life settings (font size, font, theme color, change the app icon, etc). From a mobile IDE, this is amazing! Just not perfect..Chlo_ZVersion: 2.15.1

Works with my external monitorUPDATE: The developer was very responsive and fixed my concerns. Thanks the app is great! I really wanted this to be great but the second I connected it to my external monitor all I saw was a gray screen and I was not able to use the app. If the Developer can help me fix this I would give it a better review..Djmason9Version: 2.5.2

Impressive — just what I needed!Wow! Thank you 🙏🏽. This app is exactly what I needed to allow me to conveniently experiment with react native without having to fire up my Mac. The editor and DEV environment are extremely functional and user friendly. The documentation is a pleasant bonus. The two together present a very impressive learning and productivity tool. Wow!!!.HeretiqVersion: 1.1.0

SolidI like the idea of importing and animating .svg files but I haven’t gotten that far with it. I also don’t know which libraries I’m able to import without an npm install, or is there a way around this? Also not much help online with UX. For instance, I can’t even figure out how to undo. But great app and with time I hope it becomes greater.VanslotjVersion: 2.4.1

Great start!I would really love to use this all the time. Needs auto complete and auto format for text editor. Needs more tutorials/documentation. Some video walkthroughs would have cleared up some basic questions I had getting started..ClarkUraVersion: 2.12.0

Less customizableI need toggling wordwrap and pinch to zoom in/out like textastic and UX is so arbitrary please use edge swipe when you going back to file list and how can I cancel making a new file? do I have to make it anyway and delete it? what a stupid UX you should hire a designer seriously or if you have one, they should be fired.DeepgilderVersion: 2.13.0

SafariNeeds a reset switch.Mo707-SVersion: 3.25.1

I normally don’t post reviewsBut I felt I kinda had to for this app. The dev designed it to perform exactly as it promised...and wow. Very well executed. I can actually program/build react apps on the fly. Props to the developer for making the UI so smooth and akin to a desktop experience..Liz A. SchmittVersion: 1.2.0

Looks good so far!Haven’t come across a “pay me” sign yet unlike so many others. No ads that I can’t work through if any. Looks amazing!.BrownWolf223Version: 2.15.1

This is the iOS IDE you’ve been looking for!Work perfect in the iPad, awesome to be able node apps away from home, intellisense is great, this could very well be your IDE if you don’t have computer..ObamaatemypolloVersion: 2.8.0

Update from RSA for GitHubPlease update to using a different SSH key because GitHub can no long use RSA keys. Also needs the ability to run commands on the non root folder of a repository..Hpennington93Version: 2.15.1

The best IDE for web developmentI have used many editors on iPad and iPhone but this one is the best. This app helps me work at a cafe or on a bus easily and comfortably. Thank you !.LinnkhantthuVersion: 3.8.0

IncredibleI honestly don’t have words. This app is 100% worth every penny and more. I love this so much and can’t begin to thank the developer(s) enough..KastifurVersion: 2.8.0

Missing syntax highlighting for GOThis shouldn’t be hard to add in as a feature. I would think in today’s era you should easily have added syntax highlighting for all languages since you do support virtual machines now..Aot2002Version: 3.8.1

Version 2.0 is FANTASTICThe best minimalistic JS IDE for Ipad period. With the version 2.0 upgrade what was already good only became better. Kudos for the developers working on this. Thank you and keep up the good work!.TiestvangoolVersion: 2.0.1

A really good app, lovin itI just would like to see more updates and more futures added.Happy user 14352Version: 3.13.0

When it crashes, I have to reboot my iPad ProWhen it crashes, I have to reboot my iPad Pro. It’s very annoying. It crashes more frequently than I expected. I still use it, but it’s discouraging when it works 50% of the time..Raydred1Version: 1.14.0

Excellent app for learning on the go.I can’t believe how well you can run node application on iOS with an AppStore app. Give it a try..B4NND1TVersion: 2.15.1

What dreams are made ofUnfortunately Apple is too hell bent on making sure they screw over creatives, so we don’t have long to enjoy this!.BasilcapreseVersion: 1.1.0

PerfectYou’ve done a great job. I’m really amazed when I found out about this.DaloyalkngVersion: 3.13.0

Nice to see a great IDE on iPad!Full featured JavaScript development on iPad. My only criticism is the fake Mac window buttons feel like a gimmick. I otherwise like the great integration with native iPad windowing features..Eric SummersVersion: 1.17.1

Awesome…but missing Angular and Vue templatesNice IDE for the iPad. It’s good enough that I can use my iPad as a laptop replacement. Add other UI frameworks and this would get 5 stars.Subant05Version: 2.12.0

Improvement suggestionHi, could you add the option to increase the font size and more keyboard shortcuts like pythonista ? Still a good app !.HuashiyaiyeVersion: 1.11.0

I want to add dependencies in sandbox.I like the sandbox for prototype, but it only can add dependencies in the browser. This app will be perfect if I can add dependencies to the sandbox..JaywithwhiteVersion: 3.15.2

AmazingJust what i wanted. now I want a bluetooth keyboard.Daily SleeperVersion: 3.13.0

The 'Sign In' buttons don't work on iPhone XRGood IDE for mobile. The Sign In button has absolutely no effect when pressed, so I can't sign in to CodeSandbox :(.LukalotVersion: 2.14.0

Is there python support?Looks like a great app and i love the idea of the IDE’s being cloud based. But is there support for python?.Jjboi8708Version: 3.20.0

Old rsa breaks GitHubThis is a great app. However, it is kind of unusable with GitHub because it uses an old RSA that is disallowed. Please update the app to allow newer RSA..Numetheus76Version: 2.15.1

Amazing app for web developersSo far amazing app, so fast and simple to use Having issues running the live preview tho.ReturnvoidVersion: 2.15.1

Pretty Awesome AppPlay.js is a really cool app and I love it. I’m a beginner JS coder and this app is really helpful to me. The only thing I would like to see added in the app are a interactive console and the ability to switch to the LTS version of Node, as it’s required by one of my dependencies..RealBloxxerVersion: 2.15.1

Great App for Javascript/Web Developers!I love the app. Supports everything, even node.js, which I couldn’t find in any other app. However, the only reason I hesitated before giving in and buying this was because of the limitations—sure, there’s node.js, React, and Vue, but what if I wanted to use Flutter? What if I wanted to code in another language? I hope this app keeps growing because it’s awesome and I would love to see multiple-language support and more libraries (other than Node, React, and Vue). Cheers!.By Khizar. ZVersion: 1.17.0

Awesome!Was looking for that level of freedom while coding. Allow me to code on the go flawlessly.Remi.ferlandVersion: 2.15.0

Best app for programming on iPad that I found so farPlease add C++ and .NET core support, and DONT MAKE IT SUBSCRIPTION.7687688756765Version: 2.13.0

Adequate, with some obvious issuesNot sure if this is the only in town. It’s adequate for casual Node dev work. To make it a better competitor with desktop tools, it must: 1. Support all kind of keybindings in the editor. 2. Serious support for external monitor. 3. Better file browsing, at least showing the current full path, and also please scroll to the new_file.js when a file is created. It’s really bothering in a crowed folder. Keep up the good work otherwise..把冉 awayVersion: 2.5.0

Would be perfect but...I like the app but it needs major improvements. Can’t really do any serious development using it. I bought the app to support the developer since it looks like He’s an Indie maker like I am. I’d like to see this app improve overtime. Features I’d like to see: - Be able to change node versions. - Have a full featured terminal..Joseph MaximVersion: 2.2.0

CodeSandbox Negative Reviews

Unacceptable loss of workSeems like it could be something great to have, but it has lost my work, multiple times. There are no "save", or "commit" buttons, to manually ensure changes are preserved. Sometimes things are as I left them; other times, they are arbitrarily reverted to some previous state. Also needs some UI enhancement.Über.geekVersion: 3.13.0

👎🏻 lacking settings to fix font size, change color scheme for accessibilityAs someone who’s partially colorblind, and can’t see small text very well anymore, this app isn’t usable for me. I couldn’t find any app settings that would allow me to increase the editor’s font size, or change the color scheme to something I can see properly. 🙁.GB13😎Version: 1.17.0

Is there no Undo button in the editor?I can’t seem to find the Undo button in the editor. Since I can’t find it, it’s a deal breaker. All of the functionality in the app is negated by the fact that I can lose (and have lost) all of my work with one mistake..F18a14c09sVersion: 2.15.1

Quite limitedIt’s really hard to run an app you just made. Lacks iOS Shortcuts or Widgets integration. Also node does not exit when using Promises. Also not all node is functionality works. For example axios reports that adapter is not found. There are also other problems when handling http requests..ReaderKVersion: 2.6.0

BuggyThis app is very buggy. I can’t edit my React Native app without my project being cleared and my main document emptied. I even uninstalled and re-installed and I can’t even add a new project without it wiping everything. 1 Star until fixed..Kenny BoltVersion: 1.17.0

Good app but browser view does not seem to work.The developer suggested I press the globe button. I’ve been doing that all along - nothing! It has great features but if you can’t see your results along the way.....CoderAtty2020Version: 2.2.0

Doesn’t do HTML or JS for the interface side, and no code completionNo code completion in a private sandbox for anything; especially not the basics like HTML or JS for the front end..NMECODESVersion: 3.25.1

I cannot preview my code as advertisedI cannot preview my code as advertised.AhmedSabryHusseinVersion: 3.20.0

Good for playing around onlyI guess it could work if you were writing a small app with minimal dependencies. Anything outside of that the dependency isn’t supported and the editor just crashes. Also, there hasnt been an update in quite some time. So additional support or fixes isn’t likely. It had potential, but fell flat..Johnne25Version: 2.5.2
