## Review summary

Users acknowledge the app can edit HTML and access existing files on Android, and some find it useful for web development. However, repeated concerns center on a heavy Adobe AIR requirement, the lack of an in-app HTML runner, crashes, serious text-editing bugs, and intrusive ads. Overall, it offers basic editing and file compatibility, but usability and dependency issues significantly hamper practicality.

### Pros

- One of the few HTML editors on Android that actually works with existing files.
- Useful for web developers / general HTML editing.
- Supports basic styling options (background and text color).
- Generally positive reception (some reviewers call it good or fabulous).

### Cons

- Adobe AIR/Flash dependency to run the app, which many users dislike or refuse to install.
- No in-app Run button or way to execute HTML code, basic running capability is missing.
- Crashes and stability issues are reported by multiple users.
- Significant text editing bugs (keyboard misinterpretation, text duplication, inability to edit).
- Ad-heavy experience with intrusive ads.
