## Review summary

Users largely praise Text Viewer for its simplicity, speed, and ability to open plain text files quickly. It’s lightweight and reliable as a basic viewer. However, complaints center on the paywall for search (no free search, pro-only) and the need for Pro for dark mode, plus occasional bugs like refresh not updating after external edits. Overall, it’s a compact, editor-free viewer that excels at basic viewing but lacks free search and broader features.

### Pros

- Simple and easy-to-use text viewer that does exactly what it promises
- Lightweight and compact; quick to open and view text
- Free to use and generally ad-light
- Capable of reading logs and JSON directly from other apps

### Cons

- Search is paywalled; no free search function
- Dark mode requires Pro (paid)
- Refresh does not update content when the source file changes externally
- Limited feature set (viewer only; no editing or free search)
