Runestone Text Editor Reviews

Incomplete. Add feature for hidden files.

iTooMissAndroid on

India

Please add support to open hidden folders and files on iphone, at least hidden files and folders not relating to OS. Without the ability see hidden files and folders, this app is incomplete.

One of the best text editors for iOS

BPranavv on

Does what it’s supposed to do. No gimmicks, it just works.

Good experience

susmeikr on

India

The app worked really well on my iPad and it's very smooth to work, but I can't find the option to run my script like I wrote a Python script and I can not find the option to run it.

Thanks for building this app

Unbelievably stable app for editing large text files.

Lost hours of work. Could not save file

Pablo_washington on

I wish I didn’t have to say this but I cannot recommend this app. I kept trying to save my work and the app would not allow me to save the file.

Yup.

This is the one you want for fast, lightweight text editing, whether or not you’re a coder. And I concur with others’ comments that the $10 premium price is a bargain. There’s just nothing else out there that combines a lack of unnecessary complication while supplying a toolbox of everything you need. Bring the subtlety and flexibility of a desktop app such as SubEthaEdit or BBedit to your iOS device by installing this fine little gem today.

good but

我伙呆。。。 你老这样

Can’t handle medium sized text files

cdemsar on

United States

It seems like a very well-designed app, but it lags out badly with my under 1 MB plain text journal file.

I’m a fan !

ToddZie on

United States

Simple interface, powerful functionality, streamlined, makes it easy to capture, edit, update and browse all kinds of text files. I’ve tried a lot of text editors - over a 10 year history with my iPhone - some are awful, some are good, this one is my favorite. Well worth the one time $10 gratuity !
