Why did you break a great app?

I have been using the app as my exclusive tool for writing, using the plain text editor. It’s been doing everything I need it to do. It also helps me keep things organized and easy to me to work between devices leveraging iCloud. Ever since the last big update on Sept 16, 2026, it now has major issues. I’m not going to run down the list, just one that is especially problematic. I’m trying to open a file, and it says it has to download from iCloud??? I’ve never seen that before. I used to be able to switch devices and all the files were instantly in sync. So now it’s download this file, for the past hour and there is no progress bar. I can’t use the app in this condition. I’m begging you to fix it.

Stürzt leider ständig ab

Seit dem „riesigen“ Update, läuft es schlecht. Ein altes Dokument angeklickt: Absturz. Ein neues produziert und später wieder angeklickt: Absturz
Zum Glück gibt es viele andere Apps dieser Art…

Two years to unblock a free version

This App used to be free, then a subscription was enforced, locking non-subscribers out.
Two years later the free part has been restored. I still have to see how much functionality there is.
I’m in no hurry, I’ve moved on

Apple charges a subscription fee

This tiny text editor is most definitely NOT worth paying a monthly subscription fee to use. It is (or was) an open source project distributed for free, but Apple is trying to squeeze every dime possible out its users. The company has become evil.
