### 5/5 — Bare bones in a good way

*2026-10-26*

I needed something very basic with no fluff, and this did the job nicely. The ads are non intrusive, how they should be.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry for the experience. You were right: the old version showed far too many ads. Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild. Ads no longer interrupt you while typing, and Pro removes them entirely. I'd be glad if you gave it another try!

### 1/5 — 広告がウザいタイミングで表示される

*2026-10-07*

広告いいけど、タイミングが悪い
バナーで画面を占有してる方がまだいい

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry for the experience. You were right: the old version showed far too many ads. Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild. Ads no longer interrupt you while typing, and Pro removes them entirely. I'd be glad if you gave it another try!

### 3/5 — Bare bones in a good way

*2026-09-19*

I needed something very basic with no fluff, and this did the job nicely. The ads are non intrusive, how they should be. 
Edit: Well it turns out that an ad can pop up when you go back to the app if it’s open, and twice I had one trying to trick me into downloading an “update” to my pdf reader. I didn’t click on it, but someone else might. Not cool.

### 2/5 — “Keine Daten werden erfasst”

*2026-08-21*

Die der App zu gebenden Einwilligungen in hunderte (!) Fremdanbieter, sowie Auslesen von Systemdetails, nutzerverhalten etc. sind so dermaßen übertrieben, die App ist nicht nutzbar.

**Developer response:** Danke für den berechtigten Hinweis, du hast recht. Die Angabe im App Store war falsch, das habe ich mit Version 2.0 korrigiert. Die Einwilligungsabfrage stammt von Google und ist in der EU für werbefinanzierte Apps vorgeschrieben. Du kannst dort alles ablehnen, und die App funktioniert trotzdem vollständig. Wer gar keine Werbung und kein Tracking möchte, kann Pro nutzen. Sorry für den schlechten ersten Eindruck!

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2026-04-30*

Чёрный экран!

### 5/5 — Simpel und gut

*2026-04-10*

Gut gemacht, Einfachheit ist Trumpf. Die Werbung ist verschmerzbar.

### 1/5 — Черный экран

*2026-03-30*

Черный экран

### 1/5 — SUCK

*2025-11-01*

its not working. just empty txt file

**Developer response:** Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know. Version 1.3.0 had a bug that could leave the screen blank. Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild and this issue is gone. I'd be glad if you gave it another try!

### 1/5 — Не работает
