RocketCake Website Editor App Reviews
I’m building iOS apps that use web content. This is perfect for making quick edits and publishing them instantly. My favorite feature is that it supports the Transparent Page Background. It seems very intuitive and the controls are where you would expect. I have done quite a bit of editing tonight and I downloaded it less than an hour ago. I Like It. UPDATE!! This is a FREE version so I can’t complain. I am however having issues trying to create new pages. Whenever I add a new page to the project, It destroys the original page. Not sure if it’s a bug or I’m just not understanding how to use it. I couldn’t fine any help for this issue so I’m creating each page in a seperate project to get around the issue.

I like it
I have worked with a few web builders and this one is so far the best. I needed something simplistic that I could build on my computer and upload to our server not someone else’s. This is na stand alone and I love that. I am not interested in an app that I have to pay a fee every time I need to update our website.
Excellent for basic construction
The free version worked well to create my 8-page website. Thanks to developer for supporting those old OSX versions. I published the project site locally to manufacture the HTML and CSS pages, then uploaded that site with Filezilla. When re-opening my first project after shutting down the computer, I was aghast to see that only the main page had a tab, the others were not showing. I found it necessary to double-click follow-on pages in the project tree to get them to show on a tab. I can see that for a larger project this might be considered a feature. Hyperlinks work well, anchors work too. The one thing that may disturb is the lack of fine control on position. Arrow keys do push objects around. But based on page size, 1 percent vertical and 1 percent horizontal is the smallest movement available. For some positioning, this may not be acceptable.
It looks like some reviewers can't read?
I know that the act of reading is not considered important these days. For goodness sake people, the developer clearly states on his website that this program is not an HTML editor. You would have known that if you had bothered to click on the help section of the app. The developer cannot help you if you don't even bother to help yourself, by reading the instructions. This app does exactly what the website description states it will do. Nothing more, nothing less.
Utterly worthless
Reviewing free version, Version 5.1. After 7 years of development, it's astonishingly poor. It doesn't include basic editing tools like Edit>Select All or triple click to select a paragraph. it can't import existing HTML files. The UI is terribly cluttered; it looks like applications I remember from having to use Windows 3.11. There are probably other deficiencies, but after 10 minutes, I binned the thing.
Not true WYSIWYG
I decided to test this before buying the pro version. I know I need the Pro version for the database connectivity I was creating. However, where the fields, containers, and everything else were laid out in the editor, was not where they appeared on the actual website. I can't use a product that won't place the items where I put them.
Very sluggish
I had a few thousand characters of text entered and typing slow down ridiculously.
Works Well For Basics
I'm running MacOS 11.6.4 and this app does what I need it to do, and it does most of it very well. I spent about three hours learning the controls and getting used to the flow, but once that was out of the way the app itself is fine. I have one suggestion: Add support for Dark Mode. Some of the controls are difficult to see in Light Mode. Great job on this one!
Can't old existing HTML files
Like another reviewer, I get a "corrupt HTML" error when trying to open an existing, simple HTML file. So, the app is completely unusable for me.
Dosn't work!!
I'm looking for a replacement for BlueGriffon, which no longer works in Big Sur. This app, RocketCake, couldn't even open existing .html files - kept saying the files are corrupt. The files open easily in any of the other HTML editors I tried as well as in Safari and Chrome.
Can't Create More Than One Page
Buggy to say the least... The first thing I noticed when I started using this software is that it dosn't let you create more than one page on your site. If you create a page it will erase or mimic your index page... WORTHLESS!
Just no...
Buggy. Easy to navigate is only worth while if the final product is stable.
Not worth the price
Really. Even though itʼs free it doesnʼt work like it claims. I was quite disappointed because it seemed like it could do basic things on its tutorial pages and it doesnʼt. Wasted an hour of my time trying it out. Sad.
Ugly, dumb, and needlessly broken
Even as a basic Wysiwyg editor, it failed.
Perfect for what I need
