The app name speaks for itself. SimpleTextEditor allows you to create and edit any TXT files on your iPhone, iPad and iCloud like the way you create and edit TXT files on your Mac with TextEdit. Just make a long press on a TXT file, select Share and pick SimpleTextEditor from the list and you can start modifying the content right away without any distractions. It's that easy. Plus, STE also includes the Clear clipboard option, which comes in handy and allows you to clear all the content from the system clipboard to prevent other apps from reading it.
