The Apple update mentioned the keyboard so I’m guessing thats where the problem lies. As this app hasn’t been updated for a year I’m not hopeful there will be a fix. Update, still no update, don’t waste your money because it’s now obvious the text editor will never work. Apologies to ACDSee, I’ve just checked again and so am pleased that the text editor is working again, BRILLIANT. Now back to five stars. Wrote the above two years ago and this app is brilliant now and I’m pleased to see it had an update 2 days ago. It still lacks an eraser tool though which would make this app 100% perfect. I also use ACDSee on my desktop computer. ### 3/5 — What … No Slide Show? *2026-01-22, version 4.5.4* It’s a good app however it lack the ability to select and show images in a slide show. ### 1/5 — D *2025-09-27, version 4.5.4* Doesnt work with ext memory - sd etc ### 5/5 — A sad day. *2024-04-08, version 4.5.4* My go to app for editing on my iPad but since the update to o/s17 the text editor sadly no longer works.
