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.

Any suggestions for this project are welcomed. Thank you!

Ratings and reviews

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.

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!

Works fine as a basic text editor, although it disables my keyboard's predictive text function, along with other keyboard autocorrect features. Also, the app seems to lack a "Share" option, which would be nice to have, so that notes can be emailed, uploaded to Google Drive, etc.
