Text est une application intéressante, mais quelques bugs ici et là entache tout son potentiel, je lui préfère Markor de Gregor Santner sous Android/Chromebook disponible sur le PlayStore.

I 1000% have to agree with Jim, NO AUTO-SAVE!!!! I've had no issue with this until now I've been using constantly because it is a great text editor. I spent an entire day on 1 assignment, and was so glad to have it finally done, but I was so tired I forgot to plug my laptop in, you can only imagine how devastated I was, still kind of am. No auto save is an absolute deal breaker w/ ADHD remembering little things like that I'm oblivious to, especially when it's part of every other writing app. AUTO SAVE NEEDS TO BE ADDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until that happens I'm looking for a different app that does have auto save because I cannot afford to have to redo assignments when time is everything.
