3
reviews
- “Can't even get started — I have tried dl multiple times and it gets stuck on the cloud sync. Just keeps flashing between the opening screen and the cloud sync screen at 0%. Can't find a way to contact Devs or support”
- “Stuck on “Starting Cloud Container” — It won’t move past this screen. It goes from 0%, to 5%, then 65%, then restarts infinitely. Does the same thing on iPad and iPhone.”
- “Apps servers are always down for an update. — I’d like to write a positive review about this app, but every time I run code the servers are down for an update.”
Poor User Interface
Users complaining about the app's user interface, including issues with navigation, layout, and overall user experience

reviews
- “The UI is user hostile…. — I’ve used numerous Java IDEs…. This UI is the worst”
- “Outdated interface not as good as Replit — There are certain expectations many users have for apps like this in order to code and having used other tools like Replit, this app is severely lacking in a lot of ways. Basic features like being able to paste into terminal or saving you”
- “Useless. Bad GUI. Non functioning terminal events — At first glance, the interface may seem great until you begin using it and realize how tiny many of the bottoms are and thus difficult to accurately press.”

- “Bait and switch — It was sold as a generative AI coding app and the AI turned your ideas into reality. It was terrible then worse now. I mean I could choose better templates and fill them out in a minute, I’m busy coding my own things(ironically a far bette”
- “No One-Time Purchase Option — Nuff said.”
- “How do I run/compile java code? — It’s just a text editor, not as advertised”
Subscription and Payment Issues
Users experiencing problems with subscriptions, payments, or in-app purchases, including issues with accessing premium features or being charged incorrectly
8
reviews
- “Subscription not working — I purchased the pro monthly subscription and it’s not working. All pro features are still locked. Disappointing.”
- “Why get rid of the lifetime price? — I subscribed to the app for a month so see if I liked it and they went and removed the lifetime purchase feature.”
- “Subscription — I’m not completely opposed to subscriptions. I get its a more viable option for devs to make more money. But when I purchase an app for lifetime maybe its not fair to start charging.”
Bugs and Crashes
Users experiencing bugs, crashes, or other technical issues with the app, including problems with code execution, syntax highlighting, or overall app stability
10
reviews
- “Whenever I am wrong python the screen goes dark — Screen turns super dark when writing python and I can’t see what I’m writing. Big bug”
- “Too many bugs that make the app a pain to use — There a ton of (mainly UI-based) bugs that make this app a pain to use, for example, after logging in with your account the login screen will overlay on top of everything else, requiring you to restart the app to do anything.”
- “Crash on startup — The app crashes on startup on iOS 13, the app looks promising but I can’t use it to know for sure. Looking forward to using it once updated.”
Accessibility Issues
Users experiencing accessibility issues with the app, including problems with screen readers, font sizes, or overall accessibility

reviews
- “Inaccessible — I've always had issues with IDES's not bing accessible with my screen reader and this IDe is no exception. CodeSnack is not accessibile with VoiceOver.”
- “Useless. Get something else — this IDE is quite useless! No syntax highlighting. no code-prediction as you type! no code coloring. Its just basic black/white editor with VERY tiny fonts!. Sad! its no better than using the Notes app!”
