User Reviews: Text editor

Top reviews

  • Very very good

    The only negative is that seems to not be updated. I don’t any more features. Just trying to stay current with Apple is almost a full time job. I would buy this app for $5 to turn off the ads.
  • How?

    How in the world do you use this thing? I tried so many times and I cannot even make a single font! Please tell me how to use
  • Text edit ok but…

    It will edit text just fine but when I edited an include .txt file, it did not encode UTF-8 or the line ending was not UNIX (LF), the ‘JavaScript include’ stopped working.
  • Can't export files in any way. Files are stuck on iPad.

    The files you save in this app don't show up in the Files app in iOS, AND the export feature in PWEditor doesn't work. Both the local and internet versions of the export feature in PWEditor don't work, even after you download the OneDrive app and sign in. PWEditor always gives an error saying "No subdirectory in directory info list". I know that; I want to save it in THIS directory, but you won't let me. PWEditor WON'T let me save files to OneDrive. And PWEditor WON'T let me export files locally. And the files saved in PWEditor don't show up in the Files app on iOS. So the files I save in PWEditor are STUCK on my iPad. On this app, the only way to get the text files off the iPad is to open the txt file, manually select all the text, copy it, paste it in an email to yourself, then open it up in a computer and copy it to Notepad. And I just use txt files for notes, I would guess that you don't want to use that method if you're coding something -- which renders all the txt files stuck on your iPad with no way to ever get them off. For programmers, this app is completely worthless. For someone like me who just uses txt files for notes, this app is mostly worthless. I'm in iOS 14.

    Also, the user should be allowed to write the contents of a file before naming and saving the file.

    Thank you for using PWEditor. I will make your request a future subject.
  • Almost perfect

    This is an awesome app that allows editing of text edit files. To achieve perfection, I have two wishes:

    1. I wish it kept a local version of the Dropbox files. I use it for recipes and it kind of bugs that it has to be reopened and sync to Dropbox to open the file if the phone falls asleep in the middle.

    2. Given it doesn’t do thing one, it’s really weird that it maintains its own file names. There are a handful of items that are capitalized on the phone, despite being lowercase on Dropbox. It should fix the names to match Dropbox. It’s extra insulting to not do that given that it doesn’t actually keep local copies of the files. It’s just weird.

  • I really like your editor.

    I like text editors over rich text most of the time. So far, I have no disappointments in text editing or programming.

    I would like to request one feature... share to (share sheet in Apple lingo?).

    Continue the good work! : )
  • Doesn’t work - can’t get it to find any files

    No files found anywhere. Doesn’t ask for permissions. Zero responsiveness on iPadOS, cannot access other drives either (no prompt to log in or anything). No access to iPad file system. It was a free app, and may have once been great, but appears to not be kept up to date. Would be good once it works with iPadOS.
