## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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 — 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.
