All work you create in this editor is your own, you are free to license it as you wish. Touchqode does not claim rights to nor do they prelicense your code. The intellectual property clause in their license refers to making derivitives of of the Touchqode app itself. This means for example you cannot take the Touchqode source, tweak it, and redistribute it. The license refers to the edititor software only and not the code made by using the editor. I hope this cleared up alot for confused customers. Secondly, I use this app for mobile PHP development and it is great, all in all it is a nice editor.
This has some insanely fatal flaws on a Droid 4. The text input is unusable, no matter what keyboard I use (even the physical). It's stuck on some sort of insert function, there's no syntax highlighting and the navigation in the text area is completely broken. I couldn't get beyond that.
The EULA does not say that they own the resulting code that you create with the product. It merely says that they own any comments or feedback that is sent to them that is in reference to touchqode. The EULA shows that these folks are being transparent which a good thing. Don't let the asine comments dissuade you from using the app because the app is quite good.
Unusable on 5.0 Lollipop (HTC One E9). The cursor keeps jumping to the left, I can only type 2 to 3 chars, then the first two are automatically selected and overwritten, and when erasing, backspace seems to have no effect on the last character to remain. It was my goto editor in the past, but now I can't even try it.
The ftp connection is quite unreliable... but the most unfriendly part about the app is simply moving around the script. Does not feel as nice as some simple notepads. The app seems to autoselect whole words. Can be quite annoying when editing... the color coding is fairly ok... otherwise its extremely time consuming to use...
How daft are you people? The EULA is perfectly fine. There is nothing unusual or "scary" about it. You want a scary EULA, read Apple or Microsoft's crap. They basically say you don't have the right to copy their stuff, reverse engineer it, etc. Also if you send them an idea and they implement it, it becomes their property so you can't sue them for royalties or anything (that's the part about IP). The fact that something like this can scare and intimidate people makes me sad for humans.
Typing in this app is almost impossible. I tried to add one sentence to a HTML file and after ten minutes of waiting for the text to scroll across the screen slowly and correcting missed key presses I immediately uninstalled it. Terrible
Reasonably good app, but many minor bugs... arrow keys stop working if it finds a keyword, chokes on filenames that include spaces, etc
As others have also described, moving the cursor around in practically useless. Thus making this app useless.
LOOK OUT THESE GUYS ARE LITIGIOUS AND REQUORE CLAIMS BE FILED IN A BACKWARD, REMOTE COUNTRY
The built in keyboard has good coding characters, but they're behind an Alt key, it doesn't swipe, and the keys are more thin than I'm used to on my HTC One. It is sometimes impossible to move the cursor to the end of the line. Add the "auto-select" whenever you type a letter or swipe a word (so each new letter or word erases the last), and this app is simply unusable.
Works well for simple projects. Probably not good for large or complex projects, but that's more an issue with the platform than anything.
Tried to type using 3 different keyboards, all of them highlight the text as I type and wipe it out when I hit another letter (swiftkey) or after I press space. Pretty frustrating. Uninstalling.
Custom keyboard provides no access to many basic symbols. Syntax highlighting nearly non-existent for C/C++. Very slow UI response even on ASUS Transformer Prime in performance mode.
when typing, its like the insert button is pressed. I cant even type print , the letters keep over writing the other.
The text selection its broken, at lest on xyboard honeycomb, such that the while app is useless. Nice compile capabilities for students. I decided to go with Terminal IDE and Droid edit.
but an addition of different layouts like AZERTY, COLEMAN, DVORAK would be useful. Having a keyboard that changed/mixed letters randomly will also be helpful
This app is great for coding just about anything. The run in browser feature is quite nifty. It does say "touchqode crashed" on startup, even though it has not crashed ay all.
Unusable with 450kb txt file, queues each character at 1 per second and screen blanks and flashes. Selects and deletes whole 'words', press backspace once and boom 5 characters gone. Wont open a small 51k c file just displays nothing.
Just download a similar app whose license isnt as intimidating. Im pretty sure theres reference to the devil owning your soul in there somewhere.
It could have been a option, but it freezes on editing a remote file accessed via sftp on my galaxy ace. Uninstalling.
Every time I try to edit anything it crashes. I can't do any work on this. Uninstalling now.
Thanks a lot for this beauty. I can now run java on my S2. I used Terminal IDE but cant run the java code. i cant find it. but this app is superb. Thanks again.
I read through the license and it basically says they own everything you create with this app.
Nice job, don't think I'll ever actually code on my phone though. Should be good for an Android tablet though.
can edit files on xoom micro sd card but can't preview can't close a file after opening can't remove a file off internal storage probably bunch more stuff wrong with it but got sick of problems and limitations so unistalled only reason giving star is because being forced to
I really like it but I can't see my J apanese comment in my code. So plz support Japanese language.
I wanted an IDE for Python, but couldn't get autocomplete to work for Python. Even after I'd saved the file as .py so it knew which language it was dealing with. Syntax highlighting worked great, but all the autocomplete suggestions were for Java. :(
Wow,wow. This app is so confusing and defunct. Who I gave this 4 stars. The ftp connect never told me why it didn't connect. The ftp saved profile always disappeared so I had to retype. Never managed to connect. Navigation in general is lousy at best and the form clears itself when it changes from portrait to landscape. Makes sense that its free.
