Customer Reviews
Good start, but impractical until fixed
Logs in fine. Opens file fine. Text editor works in a pinch.
Unfortunately, all attempts to upload have so far failed. It deletes the old version of the file on the server, but then it hangs while replacing it with the new version. Obviously, if you're making a quick or urgent update in a pinch, this creates a bigger problem than it fixes. This is only my experience, and your mileage may vary. But until I see a better result in an update that I hope to see in the very near future, this is wasted money for me.
Complete Appturd
I am extremely upset at the level of unprofessionalism that has been shown by this software company. For instance, this software was released with many crippling, show-stopping bugs that made the software unusable. Then, they posted something to the effect of "stop reviewing our app until our next version gets past apple".
Now, with 1.01 being released, they are shilling this application with fake 5-star reviews. For instance, we know for a fact that the user "hubbins" is the wife of one of the developers because her original five star review said so. Now she is pretending to be a regular user.
I stand by my original review:
"This application has crashed on me over twenty times while trying to connect to no fewer than ten different servers. The connection feedback, which is limited to a spinner, is all I have ever seen of this app. I want my ten dollars back."
DEVELOPERS: TEST YOUR APPLICATIONS BEFORE RELEASING THEM FOR REAL MONEY. JUST BECAUSE IT IS ON AN IPHONE IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN JUST WING IT AND FIX BUGS AFTER. For shame.
First run
Just tried it out
I am a web developer and this is one app I was hoping for. I made a quick update to a file and it automatically made a backup of the file.
