Perfect for all text editing
I used this to quickly edit small CSS and JavaScript files too. Despite the small size this is the best simple text edit app by far. Tried 3 other apps today and deleted them all to return to Subtext. Don’t bother with others, this is what you want.
You will lose your work
How am I supposed to review this? It is, in fact, the only .txt editor on the app store without an insane price tag, or clearly unneeded fluff added. But three times now, it has failed to save my work, and I’ve lost what I was working on. It’s not a crash, the app doesn’t close, it just randomly decides everything you typed in the last 20 minutes never happened. There’s no way to communicate with the developer, to try and figure out what’s happening, or how to fix it. So - my first review.

Excellent text editor
Subtext is ideal for me as a text editor. Simple interface, line numbers, line wrap or not, encoding choices. It shows in the share sheet.
Subtext is a terrific editor, no ads, completely free.

Danke für diese App
Ich kann damit meine .txt Datei erstellen und meine ganze .js erstellen und bearbeiten für meine Browser die ich immer brauche. Ein muss auf jede iPhone den ich in Zukunft benutzen werden großen Dank an den Entwickler 🙏🏻 weiter so 😇
Super!
Wirklich perfekt wenn man zum Beispiel ein Text in den Dateien speichert. Man konnte es bis jetzt nicht bearbeiten. Aber diese Lücke wird von Subtext wirklich perfekt geschlossen! Mega. Bin kein bot btw✌️
Great, needs one feature
Love this app. But after using “Select all” it is difficult to unselect the selection. It would be great if the developer would add a “Unselect all” to the app. Otherwise it works great.
Simple, brilliant
I’ve tried a lot of text editors and this is the best – does more than many much more bloated apps
Very Bad Failure Mode on Network
I really do love this app, but it's unfortunately difficult to recommend at the moment because it fails very badly on network drives. It autosaves rather than giving you control over writes, so you can get non-atomic updates and data corruption. If your backend is locally cached this works great, but alas, I often use it to update network files and it bombs giving me the choice to leave the file in a corrupt state or continue to edit which will then soon result in the error reappearing. It's a lovely UI but this really needs more sensible behaviour; only update when the close button is tapped and provide a button to revert to the previous state of the file when opened. Only save locally to the app's state in the interim. i pray this will be remedied soon so I can go back to giving this the 5 stars it deserves!

unbrauchbar
wenn ich versuche eine neue Text-Datei anzulegen rödelt die App eine Weile rum und sagt dann: unable to open file; dito wenn ich versuche eine vorhandene Text-Datei zu öffnen
Best simple vim-like app
OMG, how long I was looking for such a simple and functional tool! Brilliant! Many thanks for developers!
Excellent
Simple text editor that works on an iPad.
Great but….
Great little app, but I can’t add it as a widget to my today screen :(
good
小型文本打開體驗感不錯，但打開大文本(133Mb)時，提示錯誤，打不開
Q&A
Can set the size of font、switch font、backagecolor of text area next version？？？
Yes
I love the simplicity of it.
.txt extension
Required to open a file? Kind of lame.
Toller Editor
Tut was er soll. Editieren von Text ohne viel schnick schnack. Und das auch noch Gratis.
Not able to save edits
Nice, simple ASCII text editor, but it throws an error when trying to save files to a network drive.
finally
a text editor that does not start a major program accidentally. that’s progress in the appl world. took years.
unfortunately it uses icloud for backup. not sure yet how to avoid that.
