Best Text Editor Around

This app is such a bargain. You get a really good editor for free, or, even better, the perfect editor for just a few bucks. If there were a Mac version, it would be my default editor alongside vim. This app offers syntax highlighting for every file format I could ever need, even including LaTeX. And the interface, including the file browser, is clean and simple. I wish I had found this app earlier.

I love this app

I have fallen in love with this app. It is my go-to text app for writing.

I do have one feature on my wish list: word count.

Can you please add a word count option on the status line? That would take this app over the top for writers.

Please?

Simple and clean

I like the simplicity of the app. Would it be possible to add a preview view for html or markdown? Let know if it’s in premium purchase and I’ll get it asap.

Asked me to rate.

Fun to learn

Works fast and you don’t get stuck on a tor browser in another language

too much money

every basic feature require premium which is so expensive.

bütün temel özellikler için premium lazım ve çok da pahalı

Saved my family

huge help back in ‘21. thank you Runestone!

Good app, needs code preview

I use Runestone to view and edit code, and to view plain text documents. When it comes to code, the feature set is ok. I subscribed to premium. I appreciate the one time purchase as opposed to subscription. The only feature I really want that isn’t included is a preview of the code. A side-by-side view, code/preview, would be awesome.

Linebreaks copy paste bug

Editor is inserting 7 additional linebreaks for each linebreak when copy pasting a section that includes linebreaks, needs fix. Also the app is very unstable(it became more so recently?), editing existing text almost always crashes the app if it involves multiple lines at once or is done too fast. Great design but leaves much to be desired in stability

Amazing!

Great app and highly recomended. Thank you for making this app! One of the first coding apps I found that works offline, and dose not require you to pay for anything important, and works fin. The only issue i found is that copy, past, and cut do not work geat. PLS fix.

Excellent text editor for iOS

Allows awesome text editing on iOS. Doesn’t hijack the default viewer (like literally EVERY OTHER iOS text editor I’ve tried) but easy to open files with when I _do_ want to use it. I’d give it 6, 7, even 8 stars if I could!!

open source

very useful

Really great editor

Initially I purchased a competing product because it showed up in multiple reviews online. However that editor has a big solid colour title bar that cannot be hidden. Once I tried Runestone I realized belatedly that I made a somewhat costly mistake. This app has a small non-intrusive title bar and the default theme looks good off the bat. I use Sublime Text and this looks similar when editing bash scripts. Even the Open File screen looks very slick. And it’s reasonably priced. I wish I had tested this one first.

ソースコードビューアーとして最適

自分が使用しているクラウドストレージをサポートしていて便利に使わせていただいています。
残念な点は.cや.cppでShiftJISを表示できない点です。Encodingを変更するとアプリを操作できなくなります。
今後も使用したいので対策いただけるとうれしいです。

Exactly what I need!

This is the perfect little app for when AI gives me text for various formats of docs and I need to copy them in and make sure the format is going to be right and it will save where I need. Thanks so much!

Sickening to watch

Funny thing is the people who don’t know what they’re getting themselves into are not the ones to blame but they do have the ability to make their own decisions about what they’re actually doing with the time they have left to spend with the joker’s life…

Great Utility

It’s fast, simple, and easy to use. It works very well for all my code files.

Do not use this app

Spent 4 hours on a doc and when I went to save nothing happened. Tried manually saving, nothing. Closed the app and reverted all edits back to default. Absolute trash

Work It!

Completely worth it

Perfect

Perfect addition to my work flow, developing on the iPad just got better with Runestone, the Easter egg also gets an additional star that sadly wont show up on here.
