QuickEdit Text Editor

Was looking for a text editing app for my phones and tried a few but so far QuickEdit seems best. It's plain and relatively simple to operate for what I need it for. The auto save feature, very useful. It's easy to save to internal or external storage. There's the choice of sharing the files in various ways including sending them to Google Drive. Update: reduced from 5 to 3 stars. Ads are getting way too intrusive. Can't close them! Noisy, abrupt blocks the work. Have to exit & reopen.

Ads for saving and doing anything (just turn off wifi and data). It use the stupid mini toolbar thing and locks it above the keyboard. Not very convenient save undo placement imo. Some buttons in the drop list could just be moved to settings. Other than the stupid bar and clutter menu. It seems fine. Please allow bar to be locked at top of screen.

Great app in terms of functionality, but the ads have become horrendous and slightly invasive. Had one where it forcefully opened a Play Store link which I did not click on and I could not exit without clicking my home screen button and force closing everything via task manager. Loved this app some time ago, but thinking of looking for a diff notepad app now for my light coding needs.

I'm grateful for 'QuickEdit Text Editor'. Google, for whatever reason, doesn't make a notepad-type app or allow Docs to serve that function. Occasionally I've needed to change configurations in games + game emulators and this app came recommended to me for that purpose. It works well and is easy to use. The ads are unobtrusive. Despite that; the premium ad-free version is in my Wishlist and I intend to buy it when I save up enough Play credits through Google Opinion Rewards. Five stars.

Does what it says BUT have to be careful when/where I use it. Turn the volume off before using the free version. Ads are loud enough to wake the dead & run @ 10 seconds. Would be nice if had better control over the ads. I do like that it is easy to use & I can save files on the external SD card. Can even move or copy files to my desktop computer. Don't mind having ads, but these videos are too much. Debating on going with the paid version or deleting it.

Excellent code editor! No automatic syntax completion, and the suggestions popup is disabled by default. Autoindent is intelligently-implemented, and can be turned off if you prefer. There are three themes (light, dark, black) and for each of them a bunch of syntax color schemes. The ads only seem to appear when you close a file, which is very nice. Even so, I recommend you purchase the full version to support the developers!

This is a very nice editor. However, I have two issues with it. First, it doesn't handle TAB characters in a plain ASCII text file. It currently displays them as 4 spaces and totally ignores columns. So you can't use the TAB character to line up columns. The second issue is the menu arrangements change when switching to full screen mode. So the available screen area doesn't just increase, but it also changes how the user interacts with the program.

This is a great editor, but the forced ads are unbearable. By "forced ads" I mean ads that can't be closed without more effort than should be necessary, and at times that are most "unbearable", like when the app is opened, a file is saved, and of course when the app's closed. $4 for the paid version is reasonable if one needs an editor that much, but I just wanted something to quickly create a text file, not something that forces me to spend more time dealing with ads than quickly editing a file
