### 4/5 — does its job

*2012-08-03, version 1.1*

easy to use and runs smoothly. i would pay for an ad-free version for this app. wish more features were added, such as bookmark, file organizing etc

### 4/5 — Not bad.....

*2012-01-05, version 1.1*

I'd like to pay if it removes ad.

### 4/5 — Excellent in iphone

*2011-11-15, version 1.1*

It's a very nice application in iphone. Although it says working for ipad, it's too samll on ipad screen. If I use 2x, words are not sharp, make your eye tired easily. So I have to use iphone screen size on ipad to read txt files. I would like to pay for it if the developer can make this application shows a large screen on ipad, not simply by 2x.

### 4/5 — Blue ads annoying

*2011-04-08, version 1.0*

Was a lot easier to transfer files than I thought it would be.  Now I have a way to read journal articles, bravo.  4 stars for many of the racy ads which are an unpleasant distraction.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-07-17, version 1.1*

Does not support landscape. Had built in buttons to take you to amazon (?) but no way to open txt files already on your iPad

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with email attachments

*2014-11-14, version 1.1*

App requires iTunes to load files. Doesn't open .Txt file attachments from email.

### 1/5 — Ads make it un-usable

*2013-09-03, version 1.1*

If I could pay to remove ads I would. The constant movement of animated ads makes this un-usable for me.

### 1/5 — More work than its worth.

*2013-04-12, version 1.1*

You have to add files to iTunes to listen to them. Every other reader lets you add or paste in text, not sure why you can't on this one

### 1/5 — Using it with the iTunes update?

*2013-01-04, version 1.1*

I can not figure out how to use this app with the new update please help

### 1/5 — :(

*2012-03-07, version 1.1*

I have no idea how to use it

### 2/5 — Pointless

*2011-09-21, version 1.1*

this app is pointless, after I found out that I could make PDFs for free it has been so much easyer to read my stuff, i wouldnt get this app and instead the iBooks and use PDFs, also this app will only read notepad files and note pad has no spell check so this app is almost worthless

### 3/5 — Ok

*2013-01-14, version 1.1*

Beats writing the App myself but need iPhone 5 support and no Ad option!

### 3/5 — Effective, but lacking

*2011-11-17, version 1.1*

Reads text files perfectly, breaks pages well and turns pages smoothly and fast. But it is very simple, no bookmarking besides the last place in the text you viewed, no fullscreen mode, and there are big ads that never go away. 

It works, but I'm actively looking for an alternative.

### 3/5 — Option requested!

*2011-02-11, version 1.0*

Works great for English txt files. (5 stars!)

When I opened a Korean txt document the reader recognized the filename as Korean, but the text of the document was opened as Chinese. (1 star!)

If you add an option that allows the user to select which language to use to decode the txt document the app would surely get 5 stars.

Easy to use, does what it is supposed to. Very handy. Advertisement can get annoying, but it is free.

*2010-12-03, version 0*

Reads .txt files and it's free what more can you ask?

### 4/5 — Good

*2012-08-26, version 1.1*

Everything works fine but the ads are annoying. I don't care to spend a few bucks on it if they remove the ads.
