Very very good

The only negative is that seems to not be updated. I don’t any more features. Just trying to stay current with Apple is almost a full time job. I would buy this app for $5 to turn off the ads.

How?

How in the world do you use this thing? I tried so many times and I cannot even make a single font! Please tell me how to use

Text edit ok but…

It will edit text just fine but when I edited an include .txt file, it did not encode UTF-8 or the line ending was not UNIX (LF), the ‘JavaScript include’ stopped working.

Font size always 1 pixel! Nothing shows.

When I create or edit a file, I can see on the status line that my text is entered, I see the number of characters and lines, but nothing shows. I change fonts and their sizes in Settings, but the size ALWAYS reverts to 1 pixel. In the upper left corner one can see a single pixel moving as you type, it appears that all the input goes there...

Can't export files in any way. Files are stuck on iPad.

The files you save in this app don't show up in the Files app in iOS, AND the export feature in PWEditor doesn't work. Both the local and internet versions of the export feature in PWEditor don't work, even after you download the OneDrive app and sign in. PWEditor always gives an error saying "No subdirectory in directory info list". I know that; I want to save it in THIS directory, but you won't let me. PWEditor WON'T let me save files to OneDrive. And PWEditor WON'T let me export files locally. And the files saved in PWEditor don't show up in the Files app on iOS. So the files I save in PWEditor are STUCK on my iPad. On this app, the only way to get the text files off the iPad is to open the txt file, manually select all the text, copy it, paste it in an email to yourself, then open it up in a computer and copy it to Notepad. And I just use txt files for notes, I would guess that you don't want to use that method if you're coding something -- which renders all the txt files stuck on your iPad with no way to ever get them off. For programmers, this app is completely worthless. For someone like me who just uses txt files for notes, this app is mostly worthless. I'm in iOS 14.

Also, the user should be allowed to write the contents of a file before naming and saving the file.
