About this app

A simple file editor with a basic set of functions:
- Create, modify and save files to the device’s memory and removable storage (txt, xml, html, css, svg files...)
- Editing files on cloud services (details on the website)
- Using different encodings
- Open multiple files
- Recent files list
- You can undo changes in the editing process
- Search for text in a file and replace
- You can forward the contents of the editor window (E-Mail, SMS, Messengers, etc.)
- In reading mode, open large files (1 gigabyte and more)
- Print file
- Highlight markup language syntax (*.html, *.xml, *.svg, *.fb2 ...)
- Voice typing
- Automatically detect file encoding (see Notes)

NOTES.
1) If you try to open a large file, there will be delays in opening and scrolling.
The optimal file size depends on the type of file (text or binary) and device performance.
2) Binary files can be displayed with loss of information (some bytes of the file cannot be converted to text).
3) Limitations of the free version: 40 encodings are available. During the editing process, you can undo the last 30 changes.

Ratings and reviews

It made the unforgivable bug: it lost data! Two hours of careful research and editing which I thought it was auto-saving (because there's no Save button), then I automatically hit the only highlighted button which I subconsciously thought was Save and it opened a new file! So I hit Back and it flashed up an error page asking if I want to Save -- yes! But it crashed and now only says "Restarting a session" even after a reboot and asking Android to close the app. Unsafe. Uninstalled.

Great little text editor, simple and easy to use. Only one little annoyance, all the toast messages when opening and closing the app. An option to disable toast messages would be great.

great app even for jotting down pseudo code or pseudo design ideas and or anything up to a weekly shopping list for groceries anything at all even quick phone numbers the way digital notepads are designed
