About Open As Text
NOTE: This app requires that you have a text editor installed.
Most text editors don't have file associations for all text file types. There a are few obscure mime types they ignore. This app seeks to address that.
This app includes mime types handling of:
- application/octet-stream
- application/xml (*.xml)
- application/x-msdos-program (*.bat)
This app redirects the file mime type to 'text/plain' so that it can be redirected to your text editor.

Didn't save as an app on my phone. Didn't do anything to create file associations. Not sure what good this is.

Great app, I'm reciveing an email every day with a text file with no extension and I could not open it from the until now. Thanks

There is no icon to independently use this app. And when selecting a text file from my file manager, the options for opening the file never include this app. So this app is absolutely useless to me. I am using Android version 6.0.1
