It was previously one of my most used apps but the search tool is missing and i am disappointed. Deducted 2 stars. Oops, moved it... barely visible in banner. No longer in pull down where it was before. Stars restored. Suggest to augment search icon contrast.

The most recent update has rendered it unable to read text files that don't have a .txt file extension, which was previously the default method of saving the files it created, and it could read them just fine. Now I have to rename around 100 files to include the .txt extension so that the program that created them in the first place will agree to open them. :/

This is a very good editor that allows editing of text files on your sd card. It would be better if it supported undo. Also for some reason it does not appear as a choice when I go to files and select open- with.

Used to be my favourite for years but after last update it won't/can't find my files or indeed open any files that I saved off!!! Totally gutted with years of work potentially gone unless I open with other apps (which I don't like).

Good app. It used to be small in size, now it's big. For unknown reasons, the font size setting keeps returning to extra small regardless of what you choose. Please fix that.

Doesn't let me save a new file! It did in an older version.
