Love this little app!

This is an app I’ve had on my iOS devices forever, it does one thing, and it’s one of the most useful, frequently-used apps I’ve got. Absolutely wonderful. It’s a throwback to the old days when apps were more one-dimensional, and I absolutely love that this one is still here, supported, and not trying to become something more (and therefore keeping its delightful simplicity)!

Super useful app

I use this app ALL the time.. Thank-You to the developer / creator of this simple and useful app!

Works as it should

No issues, i keep this app running on the background and its very easy to (multitask) swipe using Magic Keyboard between 2 apps to remove Format.

Flawless

Finally a solution to get rid of the text formatting in IOS. Thank you to whoever developed this.

As advertised

I needed the equivalent of Notepad for Windows, which cleans out all formatting. It did precisely that. I like appliances that are designed for one single purpose rather than Swiss Army Knives.
