This is a feature comparison of text editors on iOS. The information was compiled by the web community on an open Google spreadsheet. I cannot vouch for its current accuracy, but will be verifying everything as I’m able. It’s meant to help you find the most useful way to write, code or take notes for your personal needs. Every editor is geared toward a slightly different purpose, with their own strengths and focus.

This works best on a wide screen, but if you have to scroll horizontally, the left column with the app names will stay hovered on screen. Hover over an app’s title in the table to see additional features which might not be part of the main chart, and click to scroll to its full data block. Holding down command while hovering over the body of the chart will highlight the current row. Clicking a row will outline it. Clicking a feature header at the top will dim apps which don’t have that feature. App details below the chart are pulled live from the App Store API.

Unlike most desktop browsers, the Safari browser of your iOS device doesn’t support extensions but you can still add extra functionality to the browser with the help of bookmarklets. These are single-line codes that look like regular bookmarks but slightly more intelligent as they can help you translate sites, find word meanings, make pages more readable and so on – all with a single click.

I’ve covered bookmarklets before and they should also work with your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch but there’s one problem – how do you install bookmarklets? In the case of Chrome or Firefox, you could have simply dragged and dropped them onto the bookmarks toolbar but unfortunately, the mobile Safari browser doesn’t support drag and drop.

Did you just get a sweet new iPad 2? Whether you added it to your collection of iOS devices or you’re brand new to the platform, once you’re powered up and ready to go… you might just be wondering what you need to know and do next? Don’t worry, TiPb has your back!
