4 ★ After the latest phone update for my galaxy s5 I can't see the cursor anymore, which makes this pretty hard to use. I like the setup of the app, but this problem makes it hard to continue using it for the time being.
3 ★ I use this app on my Proscan Tablet for writing poetry and stories. I like it, but how do you make your own folder? I did it once before on accident and now I can't remember how I did it. If I could make my own folders? This would be an awesome app.
1 ★ I spent a few weeks on an important document. I'm working on it and all text just turned into numbered lines... This app is terrible, if you're looking for document security.
4 ★ The app is noted to be in beta but is very functional. Support for markdown would be nice to have some control over display but still effectively remain plain text. External XD card support would be a nice feature add. The "pointless" tab on the left as another reviewer noted is actually the "most recent" list, a nice feature to have this early. I did a force stop and the app still re-opened where I left it, double thumbs up there!
3 ★ App Crashes I love the app, however whenever I edit a document and try to save what I've added the app crashes. I use this to jot down ideas for books and I lose what I write when I try save what is it I just wrote. The app would be perfect if you could fix this problem.
4 ★ The app is goood smooth to write or pen down something on the go.... But to the contrary its one function dosent work which is autocorrect - spell check... Please correct it in next update... For this particular function i installed it...do so fast or i have to move to other app... If possible to include proof reading function to it.... Thank you
1 ★ Horrible slow, asks if to save unmodified file. Looks like useability is not about this app at all
4 ★ The only thing I would change is including an option to get rid if those two tabs on on either side of the screen.
5 ★ Yes, yes, yes!!! At last an app for editing simple scripts! A) It opens files with various scripting extensions, eg xspf, not just txt files. That means you can edit scripts directly, without temporarily giving them a txt file extension. B) It has proper Open and Save As features, so you can navigate to open an existing file and can save multiple versions edited from an existing file.
1 ★ Despite the name, this is NOT a Wordpad RTF editor! It fails to open wordpad's *.RTF files properly for editing, all the RTF formatting gets garbled instead of being displayed properly. Also, it quietly truncates large files to only the first 64KB and everything after that is lost!
4 ★ Very smooth and all, but i just request one thing, I request one little tweak... Can we set the text blinker to custom colors? I cant stand black backgrounds, so i changed it to white, and now I can't see the blinker and it gets irritating. Plus, can you give options for setting custom colors (or even images) for backgrounds? And those tabs on the left/right sides get in the way a bit, getting rid of those would be nice too. Thanks. Otherwise this app deserves 5 stars.
1 ★ This app is in desperate need of a menubar. Theres some little button hanging on the left side but clicking it slides out an empty drawer. Completely unusable for anything.
1 ★ Just tried this app for the first time last night and it keeps forcing closed and not saving new info. I uninstalled and then reinstalled but still not working. Would be great if it actually worked and I didn't lose all the information I just typed into it. Please fix!!! :(
1 ★ This application installed harmful Malware on my device. It was fine until recently my antivirus discovered that this application was harming my device
2 ★ It is good only for writing a letter to families but who does that crap anymore. I couldn't send to my office computer, it don't have pages, to let you know how many you typed, no printing capabilities, you have to send everything to Drop box or Google Drive to get copies or print it out. There is no delete side widget so you can delete a file off your tablet. You can't change your font size, nor color schemes or back page and lettering colors to soot your eye comfort. "It is a good concept, but needs dire improvements". I gave it a try doing medical reports, but..? In other words it's CRAP.
