Runestone Text Editor

È impossibile

Applicazione ottima, non ho riscontrato problemi, fa tutto quello che deve fare e lo fa bene. 5 stelle meritate.

Quando la gente mi chiede perché ho un iPhone rispondo che, più del dispositivo in sé, a fare la differenza per me è la comunità di sviluppatori indipendenti e dedicati come questo.

Translations are editing on steroids. Basically the grind is: read a portion of the original, tap in the new, then forward delete the old, move on to the next portion of original, and so on and so forth until reaching (in Italian) "Fine" (The End). Lots of forward deletion. But that is only the beginning of the end, because at that point, one takes the job (in my case a movie script or treatment) to the top and then proceeds to spiff it up from the top back to the bottom. And that too entails lots of editing. Lots and lots Runestone doesn't even have the equivalent of DEL. I don't see an extra keyboard row... And most tragically, all operations on handheld flatscreens (in my case) are connected to selection. "Finger-painting" on the screen is absurdly primitive. What an anomaly! Amazing bells and whistles (truly admirable stuff), paired with …place thy pudgy thumb on yonder screen and drag mini-handle up to and excluding the value thou wishest TO CONNECT TO... and then hit backspace to effectuate a (gulp!) forward deletion. Hint: the deletion part of editing is almost always about connection and not about word destruction. Well anyway... So this fine app, which I bet is fantastic for programmers (my next life) is a real dud for editing-heavy text jobs. Highlighting to delete in Anno Domini 2022? Bad bad bad... But I bought it and paid for the full version and will use it from time to time, hoping to be proven wrong, hoping for some "app magic"... I'm sure it's there... but I bet it's for programmers and not for writer/editors

Cercavo un’applicazione che potesse sincronizzarsi con Google Drive e modificare i file txt salvati lì senza passare da altre applicazioni. All’inizio funzionava benissimo, quindi ho deciso di acquistare la versione completa. Da circa una settimana a questa parte succede una cosa veramente fastidiosa: dopo una mezz’oretta di utilizzo, si può ancora scrivere, ma nel momento in cui si cerca di uscire dal documento o fare qualsiasi altra cosa l’applicazione diventa inutilizzabile, non risponde ai comandi e se si cerca di riaprirla crasha. L’unica soluzione è quella di riavviare l’iPad, dopo il riavvio si apre tranquillamente, ma tutto il lavoro che hai fatto prima che l’applicazione decidesse di fare i capricci non c’è più. Assolutamente inaccettabile, ho perso ore di lavoro per questo motivo. Fatevi un favore e rivolgetevi su altro.

Great text editor! Hope that will arrive also a version for Mac!

Helps so much! Normally I never leave reviews or anything so this is not really normal for me. But I’m starting a dog walking business and I need a website so this has really helped me with the code and stuff for my website I would not have been able to do it without this. Download it definitely it’s so awesome.

Error handling, have you heard of it?

I used to really like this editor. I've been using the free version for a few months now, and it's a nice, cozy, "no frills" alternative to Apple Notes. It's the closest thing to having NotePad++ on my machine as I can get, and I've been enjoying the features I do use. However, I recently updated to iPadOS 18 and, since then, the app has been kind of laggy and sluggish. Prior to getting iPadOS 18, the app would open quietly and go straight to the file selection menu. Now, however, it opens to this screen with a blown-up icon scrolling vertically upward, hangs there and lags my iPad for a couple of seconds, and then opens the file selection menu on the bottom half of the screen rather than the entire screen. This makes me not want to use this particular app, anymore, since I can no longer quickly hop in, jot something down, and hop out. I have no real complaints beyond that. It crashes on occasion when deleting, undoing, or redoing… but that's more acceptable than this new startup sequence. I really dislike it that much.

I never buy premium as I can usually find open source software and apps to fit my needs, but this is an excellent editor that I can tell the developer put a lot of effort into creating so I will gladly support their efforts!
