Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update is all about polish — a top-to-bottom pass fixing every known issue.
Find & Replace now updates the editor instantly — no more reloading the file to see changes
Search is smarter: type in your document while search is open without losing your place, and jumping between matches now lands each one right where you can see it
The current match highlight now follows as you step through results
Search fields no longer auto-capitalize (finally!)
Opening multiple files at once now opens all of them correctly
Recent Files: duplicate entries eliminated, and the list on the start screen scrolls properly
Sharing a document now sends a single copy and the share sheet dismisses cleanly when done
Export dialogs appear reliably, every time
