License issue
I paid for this app but right now it is free and requires a subscription to access features.

Great Mobile Development platform. One of my favorite. I also have an Idea:
Proposal: Transform Buffer into a full mobile dev environment with minimal integrations Buffer already solves the hardest part of mobile developer tooling: providing a performant, scriptable environment with reliable text input and persistent context on iOS. Two lightweight integrations would push it from “mobile productivity” into “mobile coding stack” territory: 1. ISH / local Linux shell integration Interactive terminal access enables local scripts, package managers, and workflows to run directly on-device. This replaces cloud-dependent workflows and unlocks offline development. 2. GitHub chat / workflow sync Inline commit messages, branch visibility, and PR discussion make it possible to manage repo work end-to-end without leaving the app. With these two endpoints, Buffer becomes effectively a mobile VS Code equivalent, without building a full IDE. You’d define a new category: “mobile-first dev ops interface” instead of mobile markdown. If this direction interests you, I’d be glad to outline a minimal technical spec and UX flow that keeps the implementation constrained.

This app is crashing a LOT
2025-10-19 I have been using this app for years and it has been crashing a LOT over the past few months on my M1 iPad Pro. IF the app has focus it works. If it loses focus (CMD+TAB to another app or other switch) it will randomly crash. Unsure if the developer is still supporting this but it would be nice to get an update to fix this problem.

Keeps Crashing
I want to like this, but when I switch to a different window it freezes, becomes unresponsive, and eventually crashes. It makes it really hard to work with, I’m not sure if this has to do with the new window app functionality in iPad OS, but it’s the only app I’ve noticed that has problems with it.

Should be better than textastic
I can only give 3 cause the interface has so much glitches and is so ugly

Editor is good, git is bad
Gitlab integration is not great. It would get corrupt / wouldn’t prompt for merges and conflicts. Ended up throwing away changes made elsewhere.

Git integration is broken trash
The git integration is broken. Refuses to commit and push. When I pull IT LOST ALL 4 HOURS OF WORK CHANGES. I want my money back.

Unable to connect via ssh
I’ve tried setting up multiple SSH connections and none of them work. I have reached out to their support but they have not responded. Feel really disappointed to buy this app and not be able to use it.

Worked years ago but no longer
These days it suffers from disappearing “back” buttons in the settings menu, no or zero byte file listings, and not found file paths, which makes it basically unusable. The app is no longer recommended - the current version should have never passed the App Store review.

functional but can be better
Grabbed it on a sale (thanks) and love that I can directly clone and edit github as others mentioned. Has a slight learning curve (setting and user guide takes a few taps and scrolls to read), feels like this is tailor made for people used to vim’s style. Auto completing quotes didn’t work all the time (turns out its because I didn’t name the file with an extension). Some functions only gets undo by using software keyboard not cmd+z, for example when tabbing multiple lines using the software tab key (is it a magic keyboard/iOS limitation that hardware tab key deletes selection with a tab character?), or after search and replace. Also would it be possible to have redo shortcut as well for non-vim mode? Another minor UI issue is that the software keyboard buttons messes with the ipad built-in swipe from the bottom functions when using a hardware keyboard.
