### 1/5 — Scroll not working

*2026-01-06*

Text screen does not scroll properly so after typing a few lines you cannot see what you are doing.

**Developer response:** I’m sorry you’re having trouble scrolling while typing. I’m looking into this issue and hope to improve it soon. Please contact me through the app’s support options with your device and iOS version so I can investigate further.

### 3/5 — It's OK, needs UI tweaks

*2024-08-18*

Akin to a stereotypical "Swiss army knife" in that it tries to be so much more than a simple text editor that it's confusing to use. 

…at least it's not yet a subscription

### 4/5 — The search function is missing

*2022-12-19*

Otherwise the app is really nice,fast and does what you expect from a decent text editor.

### 5/5 — It’s nice

*2026-10-02*

Simple and easy

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review! I’m glad you find txt.edit simple and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Support for Chinese, please!

*2026-03-09*

"Please add Chinese language support. Thank you so much!"

### 5/5 — Straight forward

*2025-11-03*

No one has (yet) ported vi(m) from Unix to iPadOS but I need something to open source code and data files while I wait for this to happen!  (hint, hint!)  

I find that txt.edit does the job as a straight forward simple text editor which avoids many of the annoying additional/unnecessary “features” of its competitors whilst providing the flexibility they do not. The developer provides excellent support, responding to bug reports very quickly.  Very reasonably priced.  Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Beauty in simplicity

*2025-08-21*

I wanted a deadly simple text editor for opening any text format file on my iphone. txt.edit does that beautifully.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for.

*2022-09-07*

A simple text editor that’s integrated with the files app that doesn’t want to charge me a monthly fee to use, plus it’s GORGEOUS! Well worth the money!

### 5/5 — Number line

*2020-08-12*

I would like to know if on left can see a number line :D

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2020-07-14*

A fantastic text editor. Clean interface, easy to use, great features and simple operation. An unfussy app that does its job without distraction. Worth it at twice the price, and a steal at current cost.

### 5/5 — Great, simple app with a responsive developer

*2020-06-08*

The app is simple and nails its purpose (which is refreshing!) I had a couple suggestions / noticed a small bug which I emailed to the developer. He responded promptly and had already fixed or planned fixes for several of the issues.

### 5/5 — An excellent and simple text editor

*2020-06-01*

Really impressed with how easy this is to use. I love the interface and the syntax highlighting. Great app!
