Codeanywhere has given me the ability… Codeanywhere has given me the ability to code from anywhere (who would have guessed it?!) The ability to spin up virtual machines and environments based on what you need is a huge plus, and the always-on environment allows me to test without having to turn it on every time. I always recommend this platform to everyone who asks.

Useful Isolated Containers Containers in Codeanywhere provide for an isolated development environment where I could access across devices. The service is seamless and I can code even on my Chromebook. A new editor based on Theia IDE has been launched and it is compatible with Visual Studio Code. The support team was prompt in responding to my queries and resolving the issues faced.

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.

No Support and Scam Refund Policy They used to offer a wide variety of preconfigured installations or I could reliably install whatever I wanted on a generic container, but recently the offerings are sharply limited and flexibility to install is curtailed. This is no longer useful. Thinking it might be a memory issue, I upgraded my plan to try a larger container but the problem persisted. Within a day I had figured out that it wasn't going to work for me and closed the account and requested a refund of my upgrade fee (well within their refund window). They initially confirmed a refund would be forthcoming, but when nothing happened they said the person responsible was away for a few days but that it would happen soon. Now, almost a month past the original charge I have yet to receive any refund and they are no longer responding to inquiries. Update: Posting to trustpilot does get their attention and a refund was finally posted. Let's add one star to their review in recognition and five stars for trustpilot :)

Fairly long-time user of CodeAnywhere I have been using CodeAnywhere for a number of years, and I have always been very pleased with it's convenience and stability. I maintain a website with several custom PHP scripts, and I have always relied on CodeAnywhere to be able to edit or fix my scripts regardless of where I am - even if I have to do it on the CodeAnywere app on my phone! It's also is very useful as a test environment and as a platform to lean a new language. I highly recommend it!
