Ratings and reviews

This is such a wonderful app, I've put it on every phone I've had. It's my go-to for writing, both fanfics and my own original works, because it's incredibly easy to use, beautifully customisable and, while it's sophisticated, it isn't sophisticated enough to be distracting. I can set down and easily edit paragraphs, dialogue etc and worry about formatting later, which is exactly what I need. Also it has precisely zero adverts getting in my way. Best text editor out there.

Jota on Android 8.1 My favourite editor. Top feature is the highly customisable toolbar which can even have cursor key buttons. Here's how I save files in Jota on Android 8.1 In the Save option I can't browse from the file system root to the internal flash disc and Jota can't write to the SD card, so what I do is use an existing empty file in the internal flash which I open and then do Save As. This does allow me to browse around and save the file where I want on the internal disc.

I have tried over 10 text/note apps. I open text files and copy/paste frequently, so that weeded out most apps that I tried. There is an option for black background, which is also crucial. Text selection happens where the cursor is placed, not where you hold to open the menu to select. I need this to be able to open files in my SD card in the future. Best text editor.
