Text Editor - TextEdit

This was my iOS go to text editing app. Now version 6.0.3 with “AI”has a pop up page that forces you to buy a subscription. No apparent way to bypass that page if one does not want “AI” and the subscription. Wish I had not updated from the prior version. Gone from 5 star to 1 star. Willing to pay for a version without AI and subscriptions.

…and now the app won’t let me get past the AI assistant subscription upsell nag screen. I don’t want it, I don’t need it, I want to edit plain text files, nothing more. Guess another app going to the trash! I will NEVER EVER subscribe to apps, and even if that means switching to Linux. Bad enough one has to pay taxes to government, certainly not going to pay taxes to private entities holding my data hostage!

After using this app for years and saving notes in it, the developer updated the app locking all my content behind a subscription paywall with no way to access or export my content. That’s fraud, plain and simple. Avoid this app

I bought this app. Now if I open the app I am given a choice of subscribing or - well there is no choice. If this is a new app, they can ask for a subscription. It is unethical to hobble a paid app, and ask for more money. The publisher does not answer my emails - so a lot of people, including me, are angry. Apple, do you allow this?

No way past buying subscription. Had it for years.

This is NOT a free app. In order to use it, you must pay $1.99/month before you can get to the app itself. The original bait-and-switch, which in most places is ILLEGAL.

3 Day Trial!

I recently purchased the pro version, unfortunately, I’m unable to unlock this on my new phone Does the pro version include the AI option?

First download gave me a ultrabasic version that did not save anything, and did not register that anything was downloaded. I attempted a second download that actually downloaded the advertised product. This created doubt. The opening screen pops into a subscription notice. There was NO notification in the app store of ANY fees! This amounts to bait and switch! I am uninstalling immediately, and noting the developer so I don't accidentally get another of their apps. If I could choose 0 stars I would.

I can’t get rid of the lousy AI subscription prompt, and I’m livid!
