Supports only plain text files at the moment.

Ratings and reviews

Love this app! This is one thing that Android is missing - just a simple text editor. Attaching a Usb keyboard to my phone I can easily type away and write letters to penpals, write short stories, etc. even offline. I think the only thing I can think of to add would be a spell checker, but I've no idea if that's possible.

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. It is limited to plain text, but if you have a Word doc file, or RTF file, there are plenty of other editors that can handle those. This app is great for quick notes that don't require fancy formatting.

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.
