Ratings and reviews

This is the best free text edit for Android! Dark mode, line numbering, custom action bar, file write, backup and auto save, ad free, regex, stable, supports old Android versions, small size. I tried a bunch of other editors, and nothing else came close. Not to detract, but I want it to have access to external and system storage. My file manager can view system files without root, but Jota won't open them. Also I want to set char-code for new files without changing the save option. Thank you!

I hunted high and low for a simple Android app that could open, edit & save text files so that they could still be read in Notepad on Windows. It took some fiddling to find the right settings for that when saving (a better save dialogue to help with that would be great, as most people would prefer that setting). Now Jota has developed a glitch so that it's opening all text files in "Content Provider" so that the files can't be edited! How do disable this so I can exit files as I did before?

This is such a wonderful app, I've put it on every phone I've had. It's my go-to for writing, both fanfics and my own original works, because it's incredibly easy to use, beautifully customisable and, while it's sophisticated, it isn't sophisticated enough to be distracting. I can set down and easily edit paragraphs, dialogue etc and worry about formatting later, which is exactly what I need. Also it has precisely zero adverts getting in my way. Best text editor out there.
