About this app

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.

The code is open so can review code, send pull requests, new features, translations and so on. https://github.com/maxistar/TextPad.

Ratings and reviews

I, uh, quickly downloaded this on someone else's phone to manage my own information, and then uninstalled it. (I have no Internet at home or cellular. Thankfully it's only a 1 MB download; easy on data.) The one and only complaint I have is, on that device, when I switch back and forth between apps, it would scroll away from where I was typing. At least the cursor didn't move so it would scroll back as soon as I started typing again. It's absolutely everything I want in a simple text editor.

While doing a save, it overwrote a media file with NO warning. It should give a warning, even on text files, but ESPECIALLY with non-txt file types! I was trying to select a media file to get the name (to add a "notes" suffix to), but when I tapped the file it just replaced it without warning! Luckily it was something I could just re-download, but I'm uninstalling this app - too dangerous!

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.
