The best text editor for coding on the iPad? Textastic, easily (App Store link). Why? Simple: it has the most & best features while still being easy to code in, & it’s only $10. Now, with version 4.0, it’s even better. For proof, watch this short video from the developer that shows the new code completion features in action. This is what I look for in a text editor on any platform when I’m coding HTML, & it’s beautifully done in an iPad app! Tell me again how you can’t use the iPad for creation?
