Review summary

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, ability to handle large files, and useful features like search and replace. It is free and lightweight, making it suitable for basic text editing and config file changes. However, many users report frustrating ad experiences including loud auto-playing video ads and intrusive placements. There are also issues with file saving, lack of autosave, and limited cloud storage support. Overall, while functional and useful, excessive and aggressive ads and some usability flaws negatively impact the user experience.

Pros

Allows opening and editing large text files effectively.
Supports essential features like search and replace.
Saves edited files to their original location instead of creating duplicates.
Simple and lightweight, comparable to a basic PC notepad, suitable for config and game file editing.
Free to use with no initial cost.

Cons

Intrusive ads, especially loud video ads that play automatically with sound, are very annoying.
Ads cover content and make the interface frustrating to use, sometimes using dark patterns to trick users into clicking them.
Lack of autosave feature leading to data loss if app closes unexpectedly.
Issues with saving files, including errors and forced 'Save As' that change file extensions.
Inconsistent or insufficient integration with cloud services like Google Drive, limiting file management.

2025-12-07	De*****	simple, humble, but good PLAIN TEXT editor, consumes little memory & disk work quick, but doesn't have any the char case change features, nor any the line number & the goto line features.

2025-07-01	Le*****	This is a good little text editor. I just paid 9.99 to get rid of the ads, and now I seem to have more ads than before. They even open up full screen before I can get to the actual app, which never happened before I donated. I almost installed TikTok without wnating to. This is unacceptable to me. I am hereby asking for a refund. With behaviour like this, I am one customer who will hesitate to purchase an app via GooglePlay again.
