### 5/5 — Opens RTFD files with images!

*2026-01-30*

Wow, it actually opens TextEdit files with images (rtfd) and lets me make edits and copy images out by drag and drop. This doesn’t seem intended as a creation app, but instead a way to work with existing documents from TextEdit. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Why is so much software so bad?

*2025-04-04*

I tolerated the formatting failures of not letting us pick fonts and not reflowing text for smaller screens. I tolerated the clumsy minimalist UI. What I cannot tolerate is the occurrence of yet another program that won’t let me scroll down to see or edit the rest of a text view. I don’t know who’s most to blame here: the developer of this app or Apple. It’s an all-too common problem on iOS across all apps and websites with text editing viewports. All I know is that it makes this app useless to me.

### 4/5 — On a current iOS 📺

*2023-07-12*

Okay I have to admit impressive to work with this in tandem with .rtf write on iPad 6 I am looking for a refurbished iPad Mini for a lady who is on the street and she is working with my cousin if you want to work on a manuscript that is 6-8 pages without blinking again no easy feat to have an app that works on older iPads as well as a modern iPad-Os.

### 4/5 — Pretty good, with one drawback

*2022-05-22, version 1.0*

In the absence of Apple’s Text Edit for iPad and iPhone (why, Apple?) this is a good alternative – I’ve been using it for a few months and I’ll keep using it – saving RTF documents to iCloud and being able to access them across all my devices is a boon. The drawback is that (on both iPhone and iPad) it occasionally freezes and requires a shutdown/restart. It’s irritating, but not enough (yet) to make me stop using it.

### 4/5 — Simple free editor

*2020-11-19*

It’s free. It doesn’t do formatting but it is perfect for a quick note.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-09-27*

I need a text editor that can handle formatting.
I assumed that any program that can work with RTF documents could handle document formatting that is used by RTF. 
I loaded a large document I’d created in MS Word, and all page formatting disappeared, the font, including font size went away.  Margins, line spacing, pagination, everything but the raw text. 
I could find no formatting tools to use to restore what went away. 
If I can download an image editor that does everything photoshop can do, why can’t anyone write a document editor that works like the versions made for computers?

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2020-09-21*

Thank you !

### 2/5 — Limited formatting

*2020-08-25, version 1.0*

Saves in RTF format. Only offers bold, italic, underline. Other than iCloud, cannot open/save from other cloud storage.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-07-23*

Useless app can’t open rtf file

### 1/5 — Was awesome. Now broken

*2019-04-26*

The app does not allow sending email from within it, it has that feature but it doesn’t work. The app opens files on box.com but the files keep rearranging themselves continuously and you can’t scroll through them for that reason. There’s no way to open the file I want because of this weird bug. Had to delete. Please fix.
