Runestone Text Editor Positive Reviews

I wrote this review in RunestoneA good text editor is like a freshly sharpened chef’s knife. It just FEELS good to use, and it makes you happy. You know what a dull knife feels like and you can appreciate the perfect slicing motion you get from using the right tool for the job. Runestone is the right tool for text editing. It’s gorgeous, powerful enough to tackle editing huge files, and simple enough to jot down some quick notes or whip up a blog post for your static site. Combine this app with a git client, an SSH client, and you can manage your home software stack on the go. Finally, there’s not enough space here to say nice things about the developer, so I’ll leave it at - he’s incredibly thoughtful and responsive. If you have feedback on the app, hit him up on Twitter. Thanks Simon, for dedicating so much time to making this amazing app!!.Slaxx99Version: 1.0.2

Best Text EditorI’ve tried so many text editors from Coda for iOS to Koder to Textastic. They’ve all been “ok”, but the problem I kept coming down to was the syntax highlighting. I’m a web developer and I use Atom on Mac every single day. I discovered this app and the syntax highlighting looked pretty good, but then I found where you can create your own theme and I immediately bought Premium and got to work replicating Atoms theme I use. I got it 90% of the way there and I’m in love. I’ve wanted this for years. THANK YOU. If I could ask for anything it would be tabs for multiple files open at once and maybe a tree view on the left to browse files and folder structure, but other than that I LOVE IT..DhdeckardVersion: 1.0.2

Outstanding EditorIf you are a VoiceOver user like I am and on iOS 17.4.1, there is one small problem when punctuation is set to anything but all under VoiceOver, verbosity. When walking through a text file line by line, VoiceOver fails to include the last character of every line whether or not the last character is punctuation. Setting verbosity for punctuation to all correctly identifies every character on the line. This editor is quick! A few of the others I've tested that are supposed to work with VoiceOver are so slow they are completely useless. I'm using this editor to write LaTeX documents and it works very well..WhiplashZamboniManVersion: 1.4.8

Good solution for missing app.I was very surprised that Apple released the Vision Pro without a text editor. All other Apple devices come with one. This app is a simple solution. While I did not need any of the premium features, I purchased the full app to support the developer. Since this will also work on my other devices, I will add it to all of them. I appreciate the developer not making this a subscription like everybody else does. I dislike subscriptions and avoid them like the plague. The developer was kind, I can’t say enough good things about this app. I strongly recommend it..KcwookieVersion: 1.4.8

The app is terrific so far, but _does_ have one problemI’m editing files straight out of Working Copy, where I keep a local copy of my “dotfiles” project. Lots of files in there live inside directories that start with a dot, such as .config etc. Or the files themselves start with a dot, like .inputrc, .bashrc. I can’t figure out how to get to these files in Runestone. I wanted to report this as a bug but could not find the appropriate place to do so; so I’m doing it here. The app is great and clearly worth five stars so I’m not going to dock stars for this bug, but please, please, take this under consideration..YesJustWolfVersion: 1.0.2

A great, modern lightweight text editorRunestone definitely exceeds the expectations of being a lightweight text editor for iPad and iPhone. With its modern design an architecture, the app feels right at home with tons of other iPadOS apps while packing a rich feature set that’s come in handy in the few times I’ve used the app. The Premium package is definitely worth the price and extends Runestone further to how I like my editing tools. It’s a strong contender against the editor I’ve used for years on iPad, Textastic, and I’d love to see something similar come to the Mac..AlicerunsonfedoraVersion: 1.0.2

Perfect for me!I rarely write review, but this app deserves it. Like others, I’ve tried several other editors, Coda, Koder, Textastic, etc. none of them really worked for me. Then I stumbled over Runestone. It took less than 5 minutes before I purchased the premium version. It does everything I need, is fast, has a super clean interface, is easy to use, and actually works. It’s the perfect editor for me..NinerRiderVersion: 1.3.9

The best text editor I have triedLet me start by saying the UI is very well designed. The navigation is easily navigable. The extra paid features are well worth the asking price. Thank you for not making this a subscription based app. The help section and Simon’s websites, including his twitter page are helpful. Thank you for making this for everyone to enjoy..Stilla_GorillaVersion: 1.3.21

My new text editorI have used pretext as my simple text editor for years. But it has a few limitations and is no longer being updated. I have tried quite a few alternatives but they were either poorly implemented or overkill for my desired use I continued searching and recently discovered Runestone. I find it to be very well constructed and the design intuitive. So far, I have not encountered any deficiencies or problems while using it. The basic free version is very functional and has no pop up adverts pushing for upgrade. The premium version has a few features that are worthwhile for me .. so I upgraded. This is now my preferred simple text editor.DRM 87654383557Version: 1.3.21

Exactly what I neededI wanted to be able to edit notes I store in iCloud from my phone without having to download a whole thing or wrestle with a custom file format that I can’t edit anywhere else. This app does exactly that and it does it well. Haven’t encountered any major bugs while using it and I love how straightforward it is..ErbitronVersion: 1.3.21

Just get it alreadyIf you’re looking, you know what it is and I’ll tell you it is worth it. Even without premium it’s a great text/markdown editor. If you use it even a couple times a week the premium update is worth it and reasonable for what you get (my opinion of course)..AvirisVersion: 1.3.19

Amazing text editorI use it for opening all sorts of files on iOS. It feels native, lightweight and just perfect. Bonus points if we could support protobuf files or even bigger bonus points if we can install our our highlighting for custom file types.Jad6osVersion: 1.3.21

Pleasure To UseIt is so nice to open and use an application produced by someone who truly thought about its use and function. Runestone is a well-planned, well-designed app. It's a pleasure to use because it was designed that way. Great purchase..AlscwhVersion: 1.3.19

Please add an option to hide the symbol barRunestone is absolutely amazing for what it does. I just wish the symbol bar could be toggled with a setting on demand..HackedPotatoVersion: 1.3.19

😑 latest update nuked my custom theme (premium user)I spent many, many hours getting my custom theme just right – gone now after the latest update. 😣 Please provide us with some way of exporting our custom themes, so users like myself can protect our time & effort from being lost to app amnesia..GB13😎Version: 1.3.21

Nice, lightweight editorRunestone is a nice, lightweight editor that works well in the iPadOS ecosystem. It doesn't have the affordances of heavy-duty desktop tools, but it's a great companion to Working Copy..PdxmphVersion: 1.0.1

Best code and text editorI downloaded about 6 editors before I settled on this one. It has many features I like but for me the killer one was using iCloud to work on files so they synced easily to my Mac. It’s such a pleasant editor that I paid for premium even though I didn’t need any of its extra features. Just wanted to support the developer. Love how clean and easy it is and the multiple appearance options. I am working with Markdown so my only request is more keyboard options for MD code like italics, bold, and quotes..BnnnnnnyVersion: 1.3.20

Charging you to turn off word wrapLook this would have been a great little text and code editor but you just cant charge people for everything. If you want people to pay for your app make it payed. Edit: I understand the idea of making an app that you can try and if you like buy, I just wish the execution could have been a little better, like having a 10/30 day try period and then asking people to pay, kind of like what doppler did. It enforces people to want to buy your app instead of making the app feel like it was made by a soulless company..SpecowosVersion: 1.3.21

Take my money!Does what it promises and offers so much in the free version. I could have gotten away with the just free version and really didn’t need the unlock, but Runestone left me feeling with such a pleasant experience, I felt compelled to send this developer money. Runestone will be my new go-to for text editing..TheevoVersion: 1.3.19

Best code editor for iOSLook no further, this is the holy grail for coding on iPad! This app is fairly priced, actively supported, and open source to boot. I especially appreciate the extensive customizability and themes. Also the premium bonus was a very fun surprise! If possible, I would love to see support for more languages, such as Powershell. Being able to compile and run Python would also be extremely helpful. Thank you dev for this amazing app!.AiculGMVersion: 1.3.19

This app is great except one thing!I recently purchased the full version for my iphone, however on the mobile version and I find it difficult to view the final result of the written code. Can the developer make the steps a bit clearer for me please? Other than that, everything else is great!.@kem_sanVersion: 1.4.8

The Best iOS Text EditorRunestone possesses all necessities and more for text editors. It’s performance is incredible for highlighting large amounts of data and opening large files. It’s many settings make it perfect for how you like to code. It has popular highlighting themes and many languages that it supports. It’s strings and brackets are self closing. The best feature it has goes to the Prettier code formatter that can prettify your code. Altogether, Runestone is the best text editor on iOS and does not have common performance bugs and poor design of other iOS apps..Brett OrmsbyVersion: 1.2.3

Runestone Text Editor Negative Reviews

PredatoryThe only reason it ask you to unlock it for the pro version is so that you can actually use it for the languages that they claim that you can already use it for and so it’s basically worthless for python because you’re not able to see the number of spaces and so you can’t deal with non-terminals, which is a critical part of the language. They obfuscate this by making it free to download and then paying for premium and then they ask you for more than the top tier app because they know they’re not going to get it unless they put you in a bind. This feels like a bait and switch to me and it’s very clear that it was intentional so that makes it hurt all the more. It’s stuff like this that makes me want to release a free app that replaces this, so they actually have to work for the money..FeverdreamVersion: 1.3.21
