It’s nice

Simple and easy

Support for Chinese, please!

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

Scroll not working

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

Straight forward

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!
