Write plain and rich text, work with Markdown and LaTeX, and improve your writing with AI. Export to PDF, Word and more. TextEdit+ is the text editor your iPhone and iPad were missing. Like TextEdit on the Mac, it opens to a clean page and stays out of your way. Unlike it, it also speaks Markdown and LaTeX, marks up PDFs and puts an AI assistant right inside your document. Jot down a quick TXT, format a rich-text letter, write a README in Markdown or compile a LaTeX paper. One lightweight app, no clutter. ONE EDITOR, EVERY TEXT FORMAT • Create and edit TXT, RTF, RTFD, Markdown and LaTeX files • Open RTF files from macOS TextEdit, WordPad, Word and Scrivener, and keep working on them on your Mac or PC • Open PDFs and mark them up with highlights, notes and text • Work on files right where they live: Files, iCloud Drive or your cloud storage • Organize your documents in folders and subfolders A CLEAN PLACE TO WRITE • Distraction-free editor with Full Screen and Typewriter modes • Keep several documents open in tabs and switch with a tap • Extended keyboard row for cursor moves, selection and the characters you use most • Keyboard shortcuts for hardware keyboards • Read Aloud with your choice of voice and speed • Light and dark appearance, plus custom document colors RICH TEXT WITHOUT THE BLOAT • Fonts, sizes, colors, highlights, bold, italic, underline and strikethrough • Alignment, indents, lists, line and paragraph spacing, superscript and subscript • Insert images, tables and inline equations • Install your own fonts and use them in any document MARKDOWN AND LATEX, DONE PROPERLY • Syntax highlighting for Markdown and TeX • Live Markdown preview: edit, preview or split view side by side • Compile LaTeX right on your device and preview the PDF next to your source • Article, report, book and letter templates, command completion, error diagnostics and a document outline • Multi-file projects with included files and bibliographies AI THAT WORKS IN YOUR DOCUMENT • Turn a prompt into a first draft • Rewrite, shorten, expand, summarize or translate the selected text • Fix grammar, spelling and punctuation, or switch the tone between casual, concise, friendly and professional • Ask the assistant about your own documents and get answers with sources • Prefer to write without AI? Hide every AI feature with one switch TOOLS FOR EDITING • Find and replace across the whole document • Word, character, sentence, paragraph, line and page counts with reading time • Readability scores: Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch–Kincaid Grade, SMOG and Automated Readability Index • Automatic backups, so an edit is never lost • Scan paper documents with the camera EXPORT AND SHARE • Export to PDF, Word (DOCX), RTF, RTFD, Markdown, TXT, TeX and PNG • Print, email or send your work to any app • Send text, links and files to TextEdit+ from other apps with the share sheet • Shortcuts actions to create, open, search and rename documents Built for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, and localized in more than 70 languages.

Text Edit + is unstable and inconsistent in its operation.

Text Edit+ has several strengths. It saves my work regularly. Although it crashed I was able to continue where i left off after re-starting the app. The menus are pretty easy to navigate and the blue tooth keyboard works well with the App. I’m really surprised that this app is rated so highly given its basic deficiencies. The app is unstable in normal use. It has crashed several times in the course of preparing a new doc. Cutting and pasting operations have caused it to exit to my Home Screen. Choices of fonts, sizes and styles for documents seem revert back to the app defaults. Copying and pasting text from Text Edit+ can result in formatting errors in third party apps sometimes.

I used to love Text Edit. I’ve had it for several years now. I have used it as my main document making and saving app. I’m learning ASL and I have made and saved so many documents to this app, from my word lists, to practice sentences and more. Then, just recently it started saying I couldn’t add any new documents unless I paid for a premium subscription! So I had to stop making new documents, but I was still able to see and use the many, many documents I had made on here over the years. Now, since the new update, every time I open the app, it brings up a pop up every time I open the app, to do a free 3 day trial that will then end up making me buy a subscription after the 3 days!! As far as I could see there was no way to exit the pop up or see all of the many documents I’ve made unless I agree to this! Even tried turning Wifi off, pop up still came up and said I couldn’t use the app because I was offline! I almost never write reviews, but I wanted to warn others so they don’t lose all the documents they make unless they pay. I’m really upset about this because I just lost all the work I’ve put in making the documents because I’m not going to pay for the app. Would give it 0 stars if I could.

We’re sorry the subscription screen kept you from the ASL documents you had spent years creating. In version 7.0.0, we removed the mandatory subscription screen. You can now use the free plan without starting a trial or subscribing. Please update to the latest version if you’d like to try it again. If you still cannot access your existing documents after updating, please contact us at contact@noteswriter.com so we can look into that separately.

Please fix the AI ransom demand popup!

Update:TO THE DEVELOPERS: I’m commenting from the iPhone version of TextEdit after manually rescuing all the documents I made with previous versions of TextEdit to protect them from the ransom-ware that the iPad version of TextEdit has become. I understand that having built in AI would be useful to some, but being forced into a monthly subscription for a service I am not interested in (a service that is so ubiquitous these days, who needs it as a monthly subscription on every little app or website?) to access previous documents is outrageous. I also understand that you hope to make lots of money off your AI gamble. You should be ashamed. One of the reasons I chose to work with TextEdit was the universality and downgrade-ability of plain text data. If you had offered a separate AI version of TextEdit without holding us simple folk hostage, that would have been actual intelligence, not artificial intelligence. Best of luck to you. I hope you have a change of heart.

We’re sorry you had to rescue your documents to get around the subscription screen. We understand why that broke your trust in an editor you chose for straightforward text files. In version 7.0.0, we removed the mandatory subscription screen. You can now use the free plan without starting a trial or subscribing. Please update to the latest version if you’d like to try it again.

Can’t edit anything and stupid
08/21/2024

I just purchased this app and found out that I was bricked from editing text documents, and I can’t even make a text file, all due to an AI edit pop-up that has no close button, and you can’t even describe how bad it is. Please update and remove this pop-up before I report this app. I would give 0 stars if there was an option. Please remove this pop-up So I can edit my text documents. So if you had just not added this pop-up, I would have used it for years. I would have been very happy, but no. You decided to do something stupid and somehow brick me with an AI edit pop-up that won’t let me do anything. Ridiculous how I have to spend $1.99/month to just use this app. 3 day trial and then I have to pay. So pathetic and stupid. I am going to ask Apple for a refund.
