Enjoyable Way Experiment & Learn

By I like to calculate (Pcmac user)

I’ve used regular expressions off and on for the past few decades - they are indispensable for certain tasks, and huge time savers in others. But I don’t use them constantly, which means I often need a quick refresher to get things working just right. That’s where this nicely crafted app comes in. I find it a quick, and intuitive way to re-familiarize myself with the arcane workings of regex expressions. My compliments to Nikolai Krill. Thanks for another great update!
Missing a way to save expressions for later

By edeleanu (Pcmac user)

I want to start by saying that this is almost a perfect tool. As a programmer, I'm very impressed by this tool. It's a very convenient, intuitive, and beautiful regex editor. It's so easy to test the perfomance of capture groups and such. This tool is even able to handle the idiosyncracies of various programming environments. For example, a regex that works in Java might not work in PHP. This app takes that into account. Really useful. So what's the problem? There's no way to save an expression (or the sample text for testing it). There is not even a way to open new tabs. If you want to start playing with a new expression, you have to erase the old. It's a shocking oversight for a developer that is clearly very talented.
Wonderful Regex Mockup Tool

By thirdgen88 (Pcmac user)

I don't usually write reviews, but when I saw this tool show up with a major update, I couldn't help but contribute. I use this tool very frequently to mock up regular expression this app and it fits the bill everytime. I love the reference sheet too--there have been times I launch this app just to use the Reference sheet! If you want a great companion app for regular expressions, look no further, this is the premier one on macOS.
Love it!

By Aviris (Pcmac user)

I don’t do a lot of regular expressions, but when I do, this app helps me when I’m not getting the results I think I should be getting. Limited help, so if you know nothing about regular expressions you’ll probably need to supplement it, but the help that is there is perfect to remind me.
