Not sure what to feed it. But it’s awful hungry. ### 4/5 — … *2022-07-07* It’s a great app I haven’t used yet!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t open/view XML files *2024-03-16* There isn’t a single app on iOS that can display XML data. ### 1/5 — txt file *2023-08-15* Cannot open this file from app store ### 1/5 — Text viewer *2023-03-22, version 1.2* Can’t open app so can’t leave a review ### 1/5 — Chasing my Tail *2023-03-11* Can I not use the app until I post a review about an app I cannot honestly review because I have not used the app as I am unable to use the app until I review said app? However once I do so, I may then be gramted access. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2023-02-25* The application does not launch log files for viewing ### 1/5 — No option to import *2022-08-20* Would be a great app if it did something. I share it to “myTextViewer” and a window comes up and nothing. There isn’t an option to import into myTextViewer either. ### 1/5 — Bjhgt *2022-06-13, version 1.2* Hijab ### 1/5 — Cyber hack *2022-03-16, version 1.2* Easily malicious code via apple and Google play store dev app Mirroring ### 1/5 — It just doesn’t work *2022-01-29, version 1.2* This app delivers ads. Normally a slightly annoying feature that distracts slightly from the benefit otherwise gained from a software product, the team here have harnessed the full impact of their small banners by delivering a product so focused on this sidebar revenue generating feature that the app has no other obvious merit at all. I encourage all who are time rich and those who find it difficult to suspend their own tendency to disbelief, to spend just one day evaluating this product as though for a product review, so that more will fully appreciate the incredible wonder presented by this little ad addicted app. Updated. This app now does not deliver ads. It now has no functionality at all. It is no longer clear how it merits a place in the App Store since it is not an App in any way other than name. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-01-01, version 1.2* Files just open blank. App doesn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Idk *2025-01-08* I'm going to test this some more ### 5/5 — Perfect app for multi format readers *2024-11-09* This app does exactly what it is supposed to and that is all we ask. No unnecessary flair or drawback from viewing text on files Excellent work ! ### 5/5 — Sheawhore *2024-07-13, version 1.3* How do u get to see the results in plain English not code ### 5/5 — 1 *2024-05-27, version 1.3* Awesome recommended ### 5/5 — Ottima *2023-11-12, version 1.3* Perfetta per dare una lettura a diversi tipi di file ### 5/5 — Gut *2023-07-21* Ja gut ### 5/5 — This app *2023-03-17, version 1.2* Forced review =0 ### 5/5 — Cuz she hubby *2022-12-21, version 1.2* C D kk if in kk by Chin ### 5/5 — -1219 *2022-11-28, version 1.2* -12,19 ### 5/5 — Altezerrung *2022-11-11* Wildermuthmarco --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
