NLUsed to love their service in uni Used to love their service in uni Unfortunately, starting it back up recently and getting the subscription again I found that the app no longer meets my needs. Which happens, things change over time. Trying to cancel a subscription however, turned out to be relatively easy up until... I got charged again and had to file for purchase protection along with blocking them from my paypal

GBPoor customer service Due to a change in circumstances, I've not been using CodeAnywhere. They send no notification that the renewal is approaching (unlike more professional companies, some that give multiple warns 3 months in advance). I contacted them as soon as I realised they'd renewed. They cancelled the renewal and the service I'd just been charged for, but now refuse to issue a refund! So now I'm in a situation where I don't have the service they collected the renewal for - they've effectively just stolen the money from me! [further to posting this, CodeAnywhere decided that they could make the refund after all! So if you experience the same problem, don't give up - maybe draw attention to the issue and maybe they'll stop bullying customers]

AUTop Web-Based Coding Platform I have been using the Codeanywhere platform for over 7 years now, originally as a free tier member and then as a subscriber, and there has never been a viable alternative that does anything close to what Codeanywhere achieves. Web-based coding makes it easy to manage projects and collaborate on them with others, work directly with FTP or SSH connections, and allows me to share a live link to my container, which is everything I need. Early impressions of the new Theia-based IDE are that it looks like a massive improvement to a platform that already was amazing. Will be continuing to use Codeanywhere as my main IDE for all my web development programming.

AUA 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.

GBGreat 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.
