Ratings and reviews

Opening a file using "open with" in a file manager, while editing another file with this program, causes changes to the other file to be lost. Search and Replace work strangely or not at all. This app does not create a new file until you save it for the first time. After having used it a while, I'd say the only (but serious) problem is it doesn't stop and warn you of unsaved work before closing or creating a new file.

Finally! Took me forever to find a simple Windows Notepad analog with no ads or iap. The only issue I have is that it doesn't honor my Swyoe keyboard setting to auto-capitalize the first word in a sentence. But it sites honor the auto-space after a word setting, so I can live with that little thing. It's missing from many apps, so I'm used to it.

I used another notes app that was simple, and didn't steal my data, then they decided to add a paywall to the app so I needed to find a app that could use txt files, also didn't steal my data, and was as simple as I wanted it to be. This is that exact app, and it even has more complex features which I won't care about because I just want to write notes for my therapist but yeah, GREAT APP GET NOW!!!!!!!!
