EZText FAQ
Is EZText free?
Yes, EZText is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is EZText legit?
🤔 The EZText app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
So useful and it blends in with iOS and iPadOS so well that it feels native to the iPhone/iPad.
However, how do I make this the default app on my device to open and edit (.𝙩𝙭𝙩 ) and (.𝙧𝙩𝙛 ) files?
I can create files and save them anywhere I want. But in order to reuse your app, I have to open the app and browse to edit. If I click on the file directly, the device somehow chooses to use other apps, instead of EZText
Any work-around for this?
Thanks so much in adavance for your reply
Similar apps on android?
I am looking for similar apps to this on android. I just got a brand new android tablet off of Temu..
Is there a website that lists apps that are totally free or open source that are both available on iOS and android?
I kind of remember GitHub doing a list of open source apps for iOS. Is there a similar list for android?
FROZE A LOT THE FIRST HOUR
Not impressed with it on my iPad mini 6
Text Won’t Stop Wrapping
I can’t get the text to stop word wrapping when using tabs. It does not wrap when using spaces.
Great basic text editor
I'm a career journalist who has used various text editors over the years for dealing with website management and pretty much every other kind of text issue. I needed a good, moderately versatile editor for occasional copy-fix-paste work on a few paragraphs here and there. The most frequent issue- "Unformatting" text for creating an email from copied text or personal notes without annoying fonts or formats. In other words, stripping the frills. It's a pain to strip formatting quickly from a few paragraphs in Word or other apps if that's all I need. This little app is perfect! Best of all it's free. It has just the right amount of options and is very user friendly. Thank you for a great tool and I highly recommend it!
Very straightforward and usable
I’ve just started with this and am completely satisfied. Just using it for txt and rtf files. It does the basics in a clean obvious way, reliably.
It Really Is A Good, Very Easy To Use App
Very nice App. Just needed a simple text editor to make a sign for hanging on a door. This App allows that with the ability to increase Font size and WYSIWYG before printing. Very happy I found it and will keep it as my quick Go To App. Thank you and hats off to the Developer!
Excellent text & RTF editor and it's free!
By far, this is the most full featured free text editor, IMO, and I have tried just about all of them. Native iPad and iPhone versions. No ads. It shows up in the share sheet. iPad multitasking. All the right things.
It is loaded with RTF features, making it nearly a full featured word processor. It supports markdown, text and paragraph styles. Just open a .txt or .rtf file via the share sheet and it will become the default app for those file types.
It is well integrated into "Files", but the text changes to orange just so you know you're still in the editor. It even has the ability to show you files that can be edited (the "eye" icon) or show you all files.
Just one request: search and replace. Still, 5 stars from me👍
Everything I need!
With paragraph alignment, full font selection, prints as it appears, and a tiny app size, this is it for me.
I found the perfect editor for my phone.
Thank you devs. Much appreciated

Straightforward Text App
I wish I had discovered this app before spending too much on other apps with too many features and only half of them working; and, most of the apps not even regularly updated and left to rot.
EZ Text is a marvel in that it is what it is. An easy text writer. It has all the editing features needed to create a document or write a story. Copy and paste actually work. In fact, all of the features work. I can export to PDF or share to my Drive as an RTF to open on my PC and vice-versa. And it has true dark mode (not the change background/text color mode that other text apps use).
I would like to see a first-line indent feature added, if possible.
Thank you!
