notes:
* it can work with a huge text file (10000+ lines of text)
* there will be some delay when opening a huge text file
* if it runs slowly when working with a huge text file, try to turn on the “Text Wrap” option, and if it's still slow, try to turn off the “Line Number” on the Settings/Preferences screen.
* generally, you can use the “Share” item on the menu to share the small (or medium) number of text
* it needs the INTERNET permission in order to run a web preview feature

additional information:

Starting from version 2.4, if you want to save a file as plain text with a .txt extension, you must include the extension in the filename when saving, because the app will not add it automatically.

Hope you enjoy it, thank you.

Ratings and reviews

Primarily got the app because it requires only storage permissions and nothing else which i really like. As of right now the app is not functioning properly. I cannot save a file, as a message comes up " failed to save file, system error". I cannot create a folder as it tells me the "folder already exist". Also the app is not recognized as a txt editor on my GalaxyS10, meaning i cannot open txt files with it. It has no access to sd card. Would be an exellent app for $0.99 if it actually works.

This little app is the only reasonable text editor I could find that supports large files, runs on a newer phone, and uses an ordinary Android edittext widget to support native selection and Gboard cursor control like you'd expect. I don't know why that's so hard!

App does what it is supposed to and handles large files well, unlike almost all other text editors I've tried. Good clean interface, very reliable app. I'd give it 5 stars except for one issue, when editing only a basic keyboard is shown instead of my normal Gboard. if this were addressed it would be perfect for text file editing. Update: Gboard support has been added, many thanks to the author, perfect now. 5*
