Review summary

Reviewers largely praise Text Editor as one of Android’s best and most usable editors—functional, intuitive, and fast. The app is repeatedly described as user-friendly and quick to load. However, several reviewers mention feature gaps and reliability concerns: some request dark mode, split view, and image insertion; others mention prompts when saving, potential data loss, and occasional bugs. A few users discuss ad experience, with some complaints about ads in certain builds contrasted with others noting an ad-free experience. Overall, sentiment is strongly positive, with clear demand for polishing UX and adding the missing editing features.

2026-07-30	Je*****	Extremely aggressive ads - seemed like it was trying to install malware. If it wasn't an ad then the app has no idea how to deal with plain text files and wants to install a PDF reader to handle them, which makes no sense. So either it is malware or the app sucks at opening text files. Either gets an immediate uninstall from me. Edit: If that's true these Google ads are screwing you out of users - it appeared when I opened a file, was full screen, and looked like the rest of your app.

2026-07-25	De*****	Its good, but can we pls fix the pressing back once while keyboard open - leads to "save before exit"? rather than it being just once to close keyboard - also did new update break the keyboard? I tried to edit things post-uodate and keyboard won't even open, unless I have to restart
