QuickText - Plain Text Editor

...for this app. I’ve tried all kinds of fancy writing software and this is really just what I needed. I use it on my iPad with a small Bluetooth keyboard to transcribe and create new notes and quickly sync them to Dropbox. My only trouble has been that when I navigate between multiple files too many times, the app slows to a crawl and I have to reboot it. It hasn’t been losing any of my edits so it’s not a big deal, but I do a lot of hopping around between files so maybe it could be strengthened in this respect. Really fab overall.

I love the ability to browse and access plain-text files from almost any source! I'm a big user of Dropbox and I have it locked with Face ID on my XS Max iPhone and although other apps don't have a problem with accessing Dropbox, TapEdit says: "Passcode Lock is Enabled... Files cannot be used with a passcode. If you would like to use Files, please open Dropbox and disable Passcode Lock." I can't disable my Dropbox security, maybe there's some other way TapEdit could access Dropbox like the other apps do?

I tried my best to find free text editing apps, but I didn’t find much. My main issue with most was that they made duplicates of the files I want to save normally in OneDrive and open on another computer. Thankfully, this one doesn’t have that issue. This one is easily the most convenient text-editor all I’ve used so far.

I’m a big fan of TextRobo. It has simplicity such that it does not get in the way of productivity with bloated features. However, it does have what I think are the essentials — cloud syncing, reliability, etc. Worth it to get some extra themes in the mix as well. I think it’s important to support the strong work of the app developer, Reo.

Used to be able to pull down from edit area to hide the keyboard, save, and sync back to cloud. Now, pull down didn’t hide the keyboard, and very hard to get the top menu to show to save. After saving, the note became local note and didn’t sync back to cloud. I need to manually save back to cloud. This is no good. Editing wise still good.
