At least make the app paid then, if I can’t use it, also why are we monetising a text editor of all things? ### 1/5 — Obnoxious app *2026-08-02* The app asked me to review my experience after making a single minor edit to a file and there was no way to close the pop up without either picking an option or closing the app. Suffice to say that the app was closed and will not be opened again. ### 1/5 — scam *2026-07-17* substription service for little features ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-07-08, version 1.4.34* Keyboard doesn’t come up any more - can’t type ### 1/5 — only works once *2026-07-04, version 1.4.34* makes you pay to edit text which should be free ### 1/5 — broken? *2026-06-13, version 1.4.34* it will not let me edit the .txt file ### 1/5 — 不付费的话就只是一个阅读器，什么都编辑不了。 *2026-06-05* 看标题 ### 1/5 — developer got greedy *2026-06-02* This app used to be great until the developer enveloped a paywall around it. Some people don’t want anything more than the basic features but now you can’t even utilize the bare minimum without paying! I have this app on my old device which hasn’t been updated in a long time as I have the automatic updating of apps feature disabled. On that old version I am still able to use the app for basic texts purpose the way I’ve always done. Today is the first time I tried using the app on my new device and noticed this current version of the app has been paywalled to the point where it’s wholly unusable now unless you pay. It wouldn’t even let me edit an existing document. I don’t know when this new update went into effect but I see now the developer isn’t even transparent in regards to what each update entails which is how you end up in a situation like this and is why I never used to update my apps on my previous device! I also want to say I have a laundry list of apps I pay and have paid for so I’m not a cheapskate. But something like this - a text editor - should have a one-time purchase option if it’s going to have a purchase option at all. No one wants to pay month-to-month or annually for a basic editor. And it should’ve blocked advanced features beyond that of a basic text editor behind that purchase option rather than crippling the whole app for greed. ### 1/5 — Very frequent pop up of upgrade banners *2026-05-14* And you need to press the close button for three times to close it ### 1/5 — Applications payante *2026-04-13* Attention : cette app nécessite un abonnement pour être utilisée. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 厉害 *2026-08-16* 很好，可以保存路径 ### 5/5 — 推荐 *2026-08-12* 好用 ### 5/5 — Excellent Free app *2026-08-09, version 1.4.34* Awesome, I can open, edit and save txt files ### 5/5 — .rtf 文档字符行打字乱跳 *2026-07-27* 之前的旧版本没问题。抓紧时间修复吧 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-22* Awesome ### 5/5 — Incr *2026-07-11* Parfait ### 5/5 — THIS IS ELON MUSK *2026-07-05, version 1.4.34* I just need to select my sfs blueprints and edit them😀 ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT *2026-06-11* I don’t have any books to have a diary for so I used this app and it’s AMAZINGGG I’m rlly happy I picked this app ngl ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-06-06, version 1.4.34* Your best ### 5/5 — GA_JRM *2026-06-01, version 1.4.34* Works like a charm! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
