Guide Review - FTP on the Go
This is a must-have app for Web designers with an iPhone or iPod touch. With this app you can work on your Web pages anywhere you have your iPhone. I wrote this entire review in the built-in text editor. I transferred the template to my iPod using the Web server. Then I edited the file in the text editor. Finally, I uploaded the file to About.com. I did all this in just one app - FTP on the Go.
Some people might be put off by the price, but this app does the job of at least four separate apps that would each sell for $4 or more:
- FTP client
- Text editor
- Web browser
- File server
When you think of it that way, FTP on the Go is a great deal. I love this app. I wish the text editor had spell check, but perhaps that's too much to ask of an FTP client.
