This is simple text editor that can help you with editing text files.

This editor mostly used by me for small text notes, write down ideas while I have a break.

Supports only plain text files at the moment.

Ratings and reviews

Great app - does such a basic fundamental function that for some reason is otherwise lacking in Android. Although it works flawlessly from the app (open, edit, save, save as, etc) it does not from a file manager - it shows a notification that the file is "Read Only" and gives the option to "Open Again", which gives you a list of files, from which you can again choose the file. This puts you into the editable file. Considering this is a SIMPLE Text Editor, it is a reasonable limitation.

This is a nice text editor. The user interface is not too complicated, and very intuitive. There is just enough flexibility to let the user do a little customizing of the UI. One of the three supported fonts is a monospace font, which is nice. The default is black text on white background, but this can be switched to white text on black background, which saves battery power and is easier to use in darkened rooms or at night.

What a delight! Have used this on 'droid phones for years. Simple, reliable, easy, straightforward. I'm gonna donate some more when i can. No ads, no B.S. Yes, somewhat limited functions. It's a * text editor *. It does what a TE is supposed to do. A nice bonus is it auto highlights (in green) all hyperlinks--provided you scraped from a page with supported formatting. I give this 5 of 5 stars.
