Clone App Reviews

This is a really nice app - great for making changes on the go!

Clone has good design sense and is nearly perfect in the UI for basic tasks and having your stuff with you and editable, but misses some bigger features. I don't mind and am happy.

This software is abandonware. It is not supported. After paying 9.99 for the ability to push for git, it spontaneously stopped allowing me to edit documents. Everything is read only. This could easily be my mistake, so I wrote to the support address. No answer. Pro-tip: if you app fails on the market and it isn’t profitable to support it, take it off the store. Leaving it up is fruadulant.

This app is incredibly polished and featureful, and it blows the other git apps I've tried away in the style and Applesque departments. Such a shame it had to be abandoned. Maybe a better selection of the "pay" features could have helped. For example, I have little interest in editing or pushing, but would happily pay for the ability to search within files, or to have a function index menu, or see commit logs (part of free now)...

I mainly use clone to keep up with changes when I'm away from my office and love it for that! Only feature I would like is to specify a name during clone (or rename once cloned). The name ends up matching the git repo from the clone URL and sometimes that is a non-project name such as "src" or "git"

Missing functionality to fetch remote tags and checkout them out locally.

Used to work great but about a month ago my GitHub repos stopped working in the app. Contacted support and haven’t heard anything after 3-4 weeks.

Easy to use.

With Clone, everything is where I expect it to be, and I'm surprised at how much git stuff I can get done. I've tried all the other git clients, but many of their features are hidden in weird places. Clone is intuitive. I can edit my website and push it to GitHub or work on small python apps and push to heroku. I can also make small changes in bigger projects, very handy. The markdown preview is pretty nice, and I love the subway map There's some room for improvement (can't find/replace inside a file or change fonts/styles) but I can use other text editors like textastic to get that done, so it's not a huge deal.

Has the very basic features we need to access git repositories. It would be great to implement missing features brought up by other reviews, yet worth the 5-stars at its current condition.

I'm a long-time coding hobbyist and am now studying at a boot camp. This app makes it easy to clone a repo to your device, mess with it in a syntax-smart editor and run your changes. At first I thought it was auto-enabling gh_pages but the changes are run locally. I prefer this UX to GitHubs OS X app.

It's great but there is a bug in the text Editor. When choosing a language for text highlighting in the custom menu, it does not highlight any words on the editor. The only way for the app to start highlighting words is when you press auto, but sometimes it automatically changes the programming language... Please fix this and I will give you guys five stars!

Thank you!

This does what it says, and does a good job of it. I was able to clone repos and modify files with no issues. However, the ability to push commits is a separate IAP, which makes no sense - what's the purpose of having a Git tool that can't push changes? Unfortunately I found that out too late, after make sizable changes to an important document. Thankfully I was able to copy the text over RDP, but I won't be using this again.
