File saving is a problem

AllegrettoNC on

United States

Although this is a nice text editing app, it does not edit existing documents. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my edits kept getting lost. After a long search, I discovered that the app is making an extra copy and saving edits into a different location - its own folder.

Great app

This is an excellent app. I am a blind user, and this app is fully accessible with voice over. Other apps come with so much features, it nakes it hard for me to take notes, without pushing other buttons. Then there's problems saving things on ICloud drive. Some of the apps do not let you edit documents outside the iPhone. This app lets me save to my drive, and continue editing with my PC. I absolutely love this app. I hope it's always available.

Nice! But missing text size

The only crucial thing that needs to be added is the text size settings (without limits, please). Otherwise — an ideal text editor. There's an optional idea: kind of a 'distraction free writer' mode with serif fonts and centering all text in a ~60% with column, without line numbers or anything, just text. Then it would be even better than ideal.

Simple, elegant text editor indeed!

A basic app that is exactly what I need on my iPad: take notes, copy and paste without formatting, and coding to flesh out and run later. This is an app that should be included with Apple OS, like Notepad is included with MS Win.

Simple and it works

Please add the option to disable auto-save. To save the date when the file was last modified if it was accidentally edited.

Excellent basic text editor

United States

Subtext is ideal for me as a text editor. Simple interface, line numbers, line wrap or not, encoding choices. It shows in the share sheet. The find and replace feature "replace all" if you press and hold "replace." This is pretty common in most text editors. Subtext is a terrific editor, no ads, completely free.

Simple is best

If you are looking for simplicity and functionality this is the best editor for IOS.

Ok but wonky

Ben Voris on

United States

Strange problems with capitalization, appearing randomly, particularly after paste.

Literally perfect. I just wanted notepad.

ldinino on

United States

Sometimes you just need to write some quick things in notepad to a txt file. Why is this not more highly rated? I just want to edit some thingies without fuss. No data collection. OLED dark mode. Barely any settings, don’t need any. The app is like 400KB. You can open multiple windows on iPadOS or do slide over. Basically perfection.

One of the best apps on the planet

It just works. Perfectly. Never crashes, doesn't collect any data about you, Flawless. Thank you.
