Turbo Editor ( Text Editor )

I like the syntax coloring. It can be improved to detect multiple code styles in an HTML file, for instance. But the inability to make a shift-key stick is rather disastrous. I'm using the Hackers' Keyboard. I haven't had this problem with any other app. Also, even though its settings accept a toggle to reopen the file automatically upon reopening the app, we're met with error messages instead (opening the same html file).

Update: Regular expression find and replace broken in the current version and causes a crash when replacing a group. Hope this is fixed soon. An example of RegEx find and replace: find “(d+)/(d+)“ replace with “day $2 of month $1“ and this “10/27“ becomes “day 27 of month 10“. It's the single most powerful feature of regular expressions.

Using my bluetooth keyboard: shift+arrows or ctrl-shift-arrows to select text doesn't work. Ctrl-tab to switch between open files doesn't work. Doesn't remember last directory accessed when opening a file. Works ok, but these features are important to me.

I downloaded this app hoping to be able to view my long javascript files on mobile. I was dissapointed to see that only 601 lines are shown in it. Thinking it might be limitation of the free version i paid for paid version still it is showing 601 lines. I am very frustrated and dissapointed . Fix it and help me.

On my phone (Galaxy S3 neo) it is unusable due to frequent short freezes. Also, the keyboard's spell check feature cannot be enabled whereas the (for me useless) syntax highlighting cannot be turned off.

LIMITED EXTERNAL KEYBOARD FUNCTIONALITY i really like this app; It's super easy to use, visually appealing (LOVE that black theme) and has all the settings / controls you need in the preferences menu. BUT because of the limited external keyboard functionality I cannot use ANY MODIFIER KEYS (SHIFT, CONTROL, ALT). In order to type Capital Letters, I have to use the CAPS LOCK key, which is slow, awkward and it doesn't do everything a SHIFT key does. I cannot select / cut / copy / paste text using the keyboard. (All of those tasks require intensive use of the modifier keys). AGAIN, if you use this app with your ONSCREEN KEYBOARD it's PERFECT. But if you use an EXTERNAL KEYBOARD, you won't be able to do what you expect to do.

It freezes when you try to scroll the code view in a medium sized file, and when even you try to open a second file. Without mentioning that it may crash at any time. It can't be used for serious coding.

Whenever I go to open a file, it defaults to the app's storage directory instead of the main SD card, i.e /sdcard/Android/data/blah blah, but still lists the folders that are in /sdcard. When I then try and open any of these folders there is nothing in them. This is an irritating bug. Fix this and I will up the rating to 5 stars

A recent update seems to have changed the way keyboard input works on at least two devices that I've tried. Issues: 1.) Sometimes I have to press keys multiple times for the character to be entered and 2.) sometimes switching from letters to symbols reverts back to letters too quickly.

I installed, opened a new file, and pasted. The app would not let me scroll to the top of the page. I was unable to even see the first few lines let alone edit.

After trying this app out for about 2 minutes, it was freezing for 2-4 seconds every 3 lines of code I was looking through. I'm using KitKat 4.4.2. If you can fix the freezes let me know and I'll try your editor again. I was reading through a .vbs program.

I was skeptical because there is no stellar text editor on the market, at least when it comes to reviews, but this one is actually quite good. it's not going to be sublime text on your phone, but is clean and functional and it's quite fun to type out some code, make little mobile sites on the train and stuff. Might be good for smaller edits for real projects, on the go, but let's be honest... you're not going to be writing your whole project on your phone. But you could!

unable to use tabs; replaces with spaces with no option to not. also does not use file browser for save as, just a text box to type a path, which is unacceptable. has potential, i hope to change to a higher score in the future.

Tried to edit a txt with 200>lines but it cut it to 70(I guess). 70kb too much to handle, huh? Also, the buttons in the virtual keyboard sometimes doesn't react even If I tap directly on them. Also, it has some weird limit on characters in 1 line or whatever, and doesn't let you insert more symbols or split the line.

It bugs me that I can't read files I type on my phone in Notepad (because it doesn't see the newlines). In light of this, a CRLF option would be nice.

Great UI and stability so far. Knocked off one star for the following issue: Once you have begun typing in a new file, there is no apparent way to discard that new file without saving.

This text editor used to be very reliable. However, stability was lost after an update. I kept using it anyway, but eventually I had to get a new phone. I sent Gmails to myself to transfer the text files, but this same app on the new phone opened only part of the file. I experienced similar problems with other text editors, until Jota Text Editor was finally able to open the complete file.

This one's the best text editor in the Play Store. Open-source, fast, free, and without ads! The list of recently opened files is a bonus. It allows you to save files on the SD card, which is awesome. You need to tweak a few settings to make it work well, such as enabling the file browser (storage framework). Also, swiping from the left brings up the menu, while swiping from the right shows the settings - this should be mentioned in a tutorial. Once you've set it up the way you want, this app rocks.

Small files only . I've tried to edit some subtitle (srt) files and it just crashed. Also cannot search files until it loads completely. Not good. Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet 5.1.1.

I use a bluetooth keyboard and downloaded this just to take notes in class. Unfortunately, if I hold the shift key to get a capital letter this program won't type anything. So shift means do nothing. I have to remember to press caps lock and then caps again. It's a larger issue for those symbols though. You can't get symbols by caps lock so I am prevented from using my keyboard for symbols entirely, so I can't take quick notes in computer science lecture. That could use fixing, especially since some symbols like $ is not possible from the bottom menu.

I wouldn't waist $1.39 on the pro version because the free version has more options. This app is a useful function on editing files. I also used this on Dolphin Emulator since it is required.

No backspace delete ?! Went no further. It's probably brilliant apart from that. Months later I forgot I had tried it, and installed it again. This time it seemed good, so I sent 3 leva. This was my mistake ! - it immediately "stopped", and when reloaded has a dark screen with white chars. and not very visible stops and coloured chars - and Sticks upon "swipe scroll" !! Also I don't want line numbers. I want a white screen with clear black chars. How do I get to the "source code" as a matter of interest ?

I love this app. However please get a way permanently keep the extra keys above the keypad. No matter what I do, it keeps falling behind the keypad. I hate that.

Yes it could have more features but then again, hate over bloated apps. It suits my needs. I have about 5 or so similar apps. Each one of them is serving me in a different way.

It's suits my needs for some tasks. Just wish the Syntax highlight feature would not cause freeze, and slow the experience.

I actually started using turbo ftp client which is terrific. I could not stand the text editor it came with which happens to be this. It has extreamly irritating bugs in it. If you try to switch to characters it will switch back randomly. Same with caps. I was planning on giving the ftp a 3 star cus the text editor is so bad but the client is amazing so 5 stars for client, 1 for editor. Ok I'm off to find another editor!

Useless with a physical (eg bluetooth) keyboard because you can't use the shift key to type symbols. I can't imagine how anyone could use it seriously without that working. Not everybody wants to use the onscreen symbol bar.

Each character typed takes a second to appear on the screen. Also when opening files created on another text editor, pound signs appear as a question mark within a diamond.

The program did not allow me to enter any of the necessary symbols for programming except via the accesory bar, which renders it unusable for actually editing code in any reasonable way. Furthermore it would be wise to prerender more of the highlighting (or make an option to do this) so that it doesn't lag when scrolling as much.

But the keyboard is a little glitchy. It's good for writing HTML, which is what I'm doing, though.

It's a really good text editor. Simple and beautiful. Need some fixations. 1. Manual saving directories. 2. It's main page during opening of app should be replaced by opening new note directly for a fast access so that a new note can be written fastly. Otherwise it is almost a perfect app.

I feel some problem in keyboard, automatically change it, so i can't type 1,2,3,4,5 numerical numbers! plz solve this problem , otherwise,very helpful because of < ,>,!, these three keys! it is so easy for these keys. thank u developers

I'm trying to open this text file (.CSV, 300 lines) on my sd card from ES File Explorer to this app. At first I'll get the loading dialog, but then it'll disappear and the "Open File" text will display on a blank background. There's a weird delay before actually displaying. Also, I keep having to move left and right between sections.

Can you guys split the screen to view as you edit or create or at least have a viewer mode where you can view your progress.

Light, compact, easy to use, and sleek. It's perfect for my needs. Update: Two small issues: The keyboard does not pop up when working in landscape mode; and sometimes, you need to press backspace twice to delete a character (only some files do this.) Please look into this; I will promote this app on my Google+ when fixed. (Also: an option to delete files directly from the browser would be nice too.)

Enabling swipe input also enables autocorrect, which changes the words without permission. Fix it please

I do really like this editor except that it completely ignores the shift key for some reason with an external USB keyboard. I can type abc but ABC comes out completely blank. Thus most punctuation is inaccessible. BTW this was typed on the same external usb keyboard. (add) it also ignores s-pen on Note 4.

Need add amount each line is spaced in from the margin. This really helps make code more readable.

Syntax highlighting is slow and causes the keyboard to reset all the time. Also completely disables any recommendation function custom keyboards have, and the UI tries to be pretty, but fails.

It looks nice but it's unusable for me. It constantly switches cases to lowercase. It sometimes deletes a character I already written and I have to write extremely slow or it will miss half of the word. I didn't have the same problem with other editors, so I will stick with those.
