Absolutely loved the app. Have a few suggestions for improvements. It will be nice to have a view only mode and disable the keyboard. Also please bring full screen mode. Finally the ability to click on a function and the app gives the definition or hints would make this app a killer!

Super awesome text editing app. Syntax highlight! Capable of opening any files! And there's theme list. I love any of the darkish purple, blue, and green text editor themes and then there's Solarized Dark. Jackpot!! Beyond text editor, I tend to think that the simple choice between white and dark themes to be boring. Too boring. A white theme with blue accent is terribly boring. I'm glad this app at least offers other accent colors. The dark theme with purple accent looks nice. I've uninstalled Documents 6 for this. That app used to be awesome until Files app introduced in iOS 11 and this app is the last missing puzzle piece I need to read and edit text files. I had to drop one star for the following reasons: ꊱ1 No alternative language keyboards. I use Japanese Romaji and Emoji. ꊱ2 The Text Replacement isn't working very well. ꊱ3 The height spacing looks weird (in Courier Regular) when there's unicode characters. ꊱ4 Following text after pasted (unicode?) text can sometime be in different font other than Courier Regular. I'd sacrifice syntax highlights, height spacing, or so in favor of keyboard honestly, if that's the root of problems. Quality text editor should be able to read and edit .txt and other text-based files without issues.

To provide as much system information as possible, these experiences are from a user using a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 with a Bluetooth keyboard. The Bluetooth keyboard is a Logitech K811. I have used this application for about 9 months exclusively via an external keyboard. I have observed some instances of crashing while holding down the backspace key, but these instances have drastically increased with iPadOS. Either much less time holding down the backspace key is needed for a crash or some other keystroke-related action is causing a crash. Beyond that, this is a very intuitive editor which has the syntaxes, character formatting, etc. for my needs, and a lot of the features have transitioned successfully to iPadOS.

The app is full of potential. However, it has one major flaw. I tried editing a .tex file — great, it can do that. But my Tex compiler has .aux, .log and various other files in the same directory with the same name but a different extension. This app fails to show the file extensions. So I would have 5 different “file1” in a folder, but I can’t see the extension until I try to open the file and fail like 4 times. Really takes the fun out of using this app, so I just deleted it.

This application is great! Both as a tool and a showcase of the features and capabilities a tool can have. What an excellent gift that the developer has made it available for free, especially with it being such high quality! Thank you very much!
