A great idea A great idea. Sometimes I just want to play with an idea and CodeAnywhere lets me spin up a dev environment quickly and work on it. After a long wait they finally updated .Net Core to the latest version, and changed their editor to VSCode. There are still things i'd like to see added over time like a complete rewrite of their documentation, better control of port binding, maybe a nice GUI for Git, and maybe a nice easy way to build and publish code to an external host. But the real value is having a dev environment completely hosted in the cloud.

Great product, terrible refund policy I've used Codeanywhere for years and recently switched jobs where using it for my work would no longer be viable. They sent no receipt of payment or reminder that my account would be renewed, but withdrew the money all the same. Not a problem I thought, but their policy is no refunds after 7 days of creating the account (not making a payment) and because I've used the service for several years, I'm now out that money. Very dissapointed.

Better than an inhouse test environment Codeanywhere allows me to set up a test environment in seconds and access it from anywhere. It saves me a lot of time spent in setting up those environments locally. It is also a valuable asset in online training, allowing me to work with environments that I may not have access to locally. It's a valuable and reliable tool for any programmer.

Codeanywhere allows me to get to and… Codeanywhere allows me to get to and manage all my machines from anywhere (pun intended) been using it for over 3 years (used Koding before that, until they stopped). Tried Amazon cloud9 and several others, even remote VS, but none compares to the simplicity of remote connection and quick containers. Very happy costumer and I recommend it

Worst platform available Awful company. The platform has so much potential but the company are awful to deal with. So I bought it at a very reasonable 50% off the annual price and the platform worked for maybe 2 days then totally stopped working. So I contacted support. They offered zero solution for me. I was ignored in 95% of my emails. I first wanted the issue resolved as I did feel the platform had potential but the issue was ignored. The platform literally did not work at all as in I could log in but it would not open any "container" to actually write code. Eventually I got a reply after an entire month pursuing an answer. I did get a refund in the end so I can't fault that. Later I made the stupid decision of coming back to check if they had worked on the issues so I paid for a 1 month subscription to see if the platform has improved because as I said I did feel it has potential. It had not. It still doesn't work on any of my laptops/computers and I reached out to support AGAIN and AGAIN I am without a response. This time around it is not such a big deal as I only paid 1 month to test but overall a very bad experience and a very bad company to deal with or try to get answers out of. In a market with so many competitors and most of them are free to use, I just don't see the point in using a platform with such consistent issues and such inconsistent support.
