  • Hi

    Good
  • Ok but wonky

    Strange problems with capitalization, appearing randomly, particularly after paste.
  • Literally perfect. I just wanted notepad.

    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.
  • Less is more.

    No account creation required. No subscription. No ads. No user data collected. No bloated "productivity" features or AI.

    Just simple clean text editor that does its job. Solid 10/10.
  • Simple text editing

    It has been unbelievably difficult trying to find a simple text editor that behaves well with voiceover and Voice control combined. I wish developers included details about how accessible their apps are. The only thing I can think of that would make this editor even better is including it in the share sheet so you can send files to the editor from the Files app.

    Update: Unfortunately, this app only recognizes a limited number of file extensions so it is not possible to edit .tex files without renaming them. For now, the search continues until this restriction is lifted.

  • Amazing. Simple and Just Works

    I don’t know why it’s so hard to find a simple text editor that can edit files in place in the iOS Files app. This app does exactly that and is free simple and easy to use. Kudos to the developer.
  • Wow

    Subtext is a perfect example of a developer successfully coding a slim, efficient, easy to use, and very popular text editor.
  • Yay

    Ez, Create new file. Supports lots of files and easy to edit! Can you add highligher?
  • Free, useful, simple!

    Lovely little app that does not do a lot, but does what it sets out to do extremely well: open and edit text documents on iPhones and iPads!
