Ratings and Reviews

Rating: 3.7/5 based on 17K+ reviews

1 ★ We can not see what we are typing after line no-21. Because content covered by their pro version's ads.

4 ★ I like it at first glance. My major objection is that it is only has two sizes, for a smart phone or full screen. It needs to support more than just those two settings. I am using it on a chromebook. And I primarily want to use it as a cloud text editor. It would be nice if I select a non-text type document that it would use the default (other tool to open it - eg pdf, jpeg, etc.) editor for that type of document. Keep working on it. I am hopeful.

5 ★ This is the best code editor for android out there. Great selection of themes. Nice fonts. If there was one thing I'd want to be added, it would be the ability to use custom fonts. Otherwise its a 5/5

1 ★ Doesn't support very long line code please work on it. For short line code it's a good application for practice.

1 ★ Code indentation is broken. When I load a file it displays the file, and then it displays the file again below but only half of it - so the text file(.cpp in my case) is displayed 1.5 time. That's appalling for a text editor.

5 ★ Best editor. Especially, it works offline. Over all expected one.

1 ★ Saves files to its own directory instead of where they were opened from (so opened file is not overwritten as expected). Ad is large and obtrusive, taking up a significant amount of space, leaving very little room to see what you're doing when the keyboard is open, which will be most of the time in an editor. And it even blocks the app's hints so you can't read them.

1 ★ (1.23.6) I've been testing a few text editors, & this one sucks! There is FAR too much screen space that is WASTED on HUGE line numbers, HUGE GUI, confusing as bleep GUI (no matter how you configure it), & the list just keeps going. This WASTE of screen space is never acceptable, but on a 5 inch screen, it's just RETARDED! UNINSTALLED!

2 ★ Huge banner ads greatly interfere with usability. Not only does it encroach upon our precious, mobile screen space but is so obtrusive it drives me to distraction. Sure, there's a paid version without ads but come on!.. Trying to evaluate the product while being crippled by the very thing meant to entice the purchase seems absurd because it's the sole reason I've decided not to continue using this egregious application.

1 ★ Firsit, when you open the app for the first time a big add banner appears on the screen and overlaps floating hints that should teach you how to use this app - so you're on your own with the learning curve. Then when I tried to open a plain text file it said "error opening file". What a shame for the text editor. Other editors did the same with no issues. I really don't understand why this app is claimed to be best editor. To me it's just a scam

5 ★ DroidEdit is by far the best option available for reading and editiing code on an android device. Without an external keyboard, its hard to see anyone wanting to write code from scratch, but if you wanted to, this would be the best app tk use. There is a premium option, but the editor works awesomely as is. it is onky necessary to buy the upgrade if you have use of the advanced functionality exposed by the paid version.

4 ★ Best app for beginners but there are only fewer version of languages like there's no html5.please try to add all of them.

1 ★ DON'T use this editor, it's complete garbage! I can live with the banner blocking last few lines - it's a free version. Just add a few empty lines. And that it can't access the SD card. BUT: I JUST LOST AN ENTIRE HOUR OF EDITING in which I used the "save" feature like the absolute Nazi that I am in these regards (35+ IT years). Later I open the text: NOTHING WAS SAVED, still old text version! I suspect they are not even using "safe saves". DO NOT trust this app with your valuable time and data!

1 ★ App has alot of bugs, sometimes it does not save your files. Its also very slow sometimes aswell. Would not recommend this app to developers. This app needs some serious improvements.

1 ★ I was looking for quick code edits through my phone. This app was promising till I downloaded it and found out that the advertisement strip is shoved on your face. Feels like it takes a lot of screen real-estate. Why would I even consider the pro version? I could barely use the features of the free version.
