I guess

Decent feature only option i saw on app store

Frustrating

Being able to edit a file is nice, however, it’s like pulling teeth to save the result. I don’t know why it needs to be so difficult.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for your review. I develop the app based on user requests and feedback and I am here to help. In general the app saves the document when you close the document, and the document is visible in the document explorer on the front page. Is it possible for you to send me an email with your use case so I can try to fix the issue. My email is henrik@nyetal.dk, you can also find it in the App. Best Regards Henrik

It’s so hard to select text.

I tried to download this app to edit text, but it’s really hard to even edit it. Please make it easier to work with, similar to the apple notes app.
I downloaded this app cause apple notes app can’t color code the text.

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention. I've made a quick fix that I hope will work for you. Please feel free to write to me if you still have any issues: henrik@nyetal.dk

Hiding behind a pay wall

Another text editor which you have to pay to use. Not worth it.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you've changed your mind - from 5 to 1 star. I've thought a lot about how I could create a business model that on the one hand covered my costs of having the app in the App Store and motivated me to maintain the app, and on the other hand was fair to the users. And I feel that a low one-time payment could be just that solution. I often hear the phrase, "It's just a text editor". But I can tell you that even a small text editor consists of thousands of lines of code and many test cases. I hope you understand that even a software developer can not work for free. Thank you Henrik Henrik

Great app!

I’ve been looking for a simple app that allows me to write and open .txt and .rtf files without all the overhead most other apps burden themselves with. THIS IS IT! Clean, simple, does just what I wanted. I LOVE IT (and you probably will too!). Check it out!

Thank you for your review.
