Feedback and Review

This is an awesome app that genuinely deserves No. 1 on App Store. I have some feedback that I’d like to share:

  • I’d like it if AI tools like Open AI Codex or GitHub Copilot is added
  • I’d also like if UI type code (other than html, I mean like SwiftUI) is added. I am aware that Tkinter cannot be supported but SwiftUI is possible on iPad,
  • I also would like custom themes like your own code colors and more and cool app icons to chose from and more personalization options
  • I’d like it if VS Code style extensions (I actually don’t think this would be possible but good to add)
  • Also this one would be possible: Now that iPadOS 26 is released if the tab bar on the top of the screen, like file edit, view, format, window, help can be integrated into Code App. Right now it uses the default but if it’s integrated it would feel like a great desktop style view and also a very nice and easy navigation

And again, this is the best coding app on iPad. The styling and simplicity is better than VS Code I must say. 5 stars from me

Thank you for the feedback! These are all great suggestions.

  • I am thinking to create an AI tool that supports both Apple Intelligence and other external AI tools
  • I am still searching for a suitable solution for UI code. SwiftUI compiles natively and I haven't found a way to run Swift code like Apple's Playground does. Some apps uses their own Python library with custom bridging to native but it will bring learning curve and make the code not reusable outside the app
  • Yes, we definitely need custom themes
  • JavaScript and browser based extensions is probably doable. It would be great if we support VS Code's extension natively but it is definitely not easy to do
  • Definitely - I am working on a iPadOS 26 build
