### 1/5 — Bummer, crashes upon opening larger files

*2024-09-24, version 1.0.1*

Works fine on files that fit on the screen. Anything larger, it crashes. Then it continuously crashes up upon opening, requiring deletion and reinstallation. Has not been updated in seven years. Should either either be fixed or removed from the App Store.

### 2/5 — Looks good, but crashed

*2022-10-28*

when I loaded my file

### 1/5 — Useless. Will not open any file!

*2018-11-24, version 1.0.1*

Will not open any file! Google Drive NOGO. iCloud NOGO. iOS notes nogo. iOS 12.1 on iPhone X. Saturday, 24 November 2018.

Create 2 new files in any cloud. New files created on iPhone do not show up. Only the files created on my MacBook show up. 

Try iOS Notes app. Folder: “On My iPhone” which is local, not on any cloud. 

Same behavior. File list in this app is not usable. Total waste of time, this app is useless.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2018-06-25*

Yeah good

### 3/5 — Crushing

*2017-12-10*

Crush with files more then 200kb.

### 4/5 — Compares text files well, but has limits.

*2016-08-17, version 1.0*

It's a straightforward text file comparison tool. The files you want to compare have to be on Google Drive, iCloud, or some other cloud service that supports the Document Picker Open method. The comparison seems accurate and easy to read.

Minus one star for not being able to send files to the app directly, nor indeed to paste text in.

Minus another star for not being able to do any editing. All you can really do is look at your results. If you want to implement changes, you'll need to switch back and forth between this and your editing app.
