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.

Any suggestions for this project are welcomed. Thank you!

Ratings and reviews

I liked it at 1st, but then it turned out to be pretty terrible on my Samsung A16. Kept yanking to the end of the files. Search Fcn keeps disappearing mid use. Keeps spontaneously exiting the app losing me all my work. Android OS keeps flashing warnings that app has bug. Checking the Erratic Scroll box did nothing to help, all it did was stop the search fcn from accepting input and jambed it up even more. Also had no way of fast scrolling in longer files (when the app did work).

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.
