User Reviews

People praise Simple Text Editor for being fast, lightweight and ad free with solid plain text and UTF-8 support. However reliability varies: there are reports of crashes and loss of edits, autosave off by default and saving sometimes failing, plus features like word wrap and some keyboard interactions can be quirky. On some devices it may not behave well with newer Android versions. Overall it is a great minimal Notepad style editor, but users should back up important work.
Pros
  • Lightweight, fast, and no frills; it just works.
  • Plain-text focused with a readable fixed-width font and UTF-8 support.
  • Opens and edits plaintext from many file formats for a Notepad like experience.
  • Ad free and unobtrusive with a simple UI.
Cons
  • Crashes and instability that can cause loss of edits.
  • Autosave is off by default and saving can be unreliable.
  • Incompatible with some newer Android versions.
  • Word wrap is unreliable and there are keyboard input quirks.

Does what it says in the tin. Doesn't request network permissions or any other shenanigans.
