Runestone Text Editor Reviews

Lost hours of work. Could not save file

Pablo_washington on

United States

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.

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 !

Outstanding Editor

WhiplashZamboniMan on

If you are a VoiceOver user like I am and on iOS 17.4.1, there is one small problem when punctuation is set to anything but all under VoiceOver, verbosity. When walking through a text file line by line, VoiceOver fails to include the last character of every line whether or not the last character is punctuation. Setting verbosity for punctuation to all correctly identifies every character on the line. This editor is quick! A few of the others I've tested that are supposed to work with VoiceOver are so slow they are completely useless. I'm using this editor to write LaTeX documents and it works very well.

After last update unable to open any file

Doesn't allow to browse iCloud files (first two tabs are empty, last tab shows only empty favorites section and tags. Reinstall doesn't help. Latest ios 17.4.1
