Ratings and reviews

I have written software for 45 years and I ALMOST FELL IN LOVE W GREAT LAYOUT AND MENUS until I discovered the search and replace does not work, tapping the arrows does not get you to find the next Target and if you hit backspace too many times, too quickly, the whole application crashes and you lose all your changes. I had an editor in 1986 that had more features and was more reliable than any Android text editor & I've seen several dozens. But if they fix the bugs this might work pretty well.

Seems like a good editor at the start, but becomes cumbersome quickly. If you're using this for longer files, especially trying to edit a longer file, the view will occasionally jump to the very end of the file, even though the hatch stays in place. And while you can just jump right back by typing a single character, this happens often enough(about every two to three seconds) that it becomes nearly unusable. Not a good app for anything but short note-taking. For anything else, find another app.

Great app. Ad free and no tracking of data, which is a big selling point for me. Simple, and does what it needs to do. It saves to an actual file that you can access, which means you can simply connect to a computer by usb and transfer files (I personally use rsync and similar tools). I use it for writing ideas, jotting short notes, and even as a txt reader when I have to speak in public. As a suggestion to the dev, I'd like to be able to select text (so I can copy it) while in read-only mode.
