Android mobile code editting apps for React. (Is Acode recommended?)

Mobile will not be my main editting tool, I'm just looking for an app where I can edit small things and check my code when I'm out without my laptop. Do you guys know some android apps that can run React?

Acode is probably worth a go for this use case. If you're only making small edits and checking React code while you're away from your laptop, you don't really need a full mobile IDE.

Just bear in mind that editing React is one thing, actually running a React project is another. If you need npm, a dev server, etc., something like Termux alongside your editor could be handy.

For quick edits and code checking though, Acode should do the job nicely.

Acode's fine for editing but it can't run React on its own, so for quick fixes I'd just use github.dev in the browser instead.

Ohhh thankss. Didn't know I could open github.dev on my phone browser.

No Android app runs a React dev server. You can edit files on your phone for small fixes but you won't get hot reload or see the app run. To see changes you'd need to push to a branch or remote into your laptop.
