But it needs a "save as" command. "Save as" has been a standard for almost all Mac applications. I don't want to duplicate my file and have another file open. I want to save it with a new name and continue working on the same file with the original file being left as is. This really annoys me about "TextEdit," and alternatives really shouldn't feel it necessary to follow in its footsteps.

I was looking for a basic notepad app that I could use and I downloaded this one to try. I have no idea if this app is any good becuase I am unable to use it without paying. Serioiusly, you can't type a single letter without being prompted to pay.Once you download it, you are immediately asked to rate it (odd considering this is my first time opening it) and to subscribe to access "all premium features" but it should say subscribe to access "any features at all" since you can't type anything without paying. When you close the payment prompt and try to type something, the popup just comes back. If the developer wants a premium app, then either put the price upfront or make a separate paid app. If you're going to use in-app purchases, then the app needs to be functional before someone pays. This method feels disingenuous and just makes me want to uninstall immediately.

I had a. problem with using the product because I couldn't use the license I'd paid for because the nag screen for the new subscription model kept getting in the way. My license has been restored and I can continue using.If I used the product for more than the once-in-a-while need to review logs I could see needing all the new capabilities but I just need a straight forward ASCII text reviewer/editor. This does that and much more but the 'more' is more than I personally need. I can see where others would benefit, though.Thanks!

Hi Xiaobo -- Until a few days ago, I loved Notepad because it was basic and it removed the icky formatting that apps like Word add. Other simple text editors, like the one already on my Mac, did not have the stripped-down features I had enjoyed in Notepad on my Windows machine.Now there is a premium version of Notepad, whose pop-up ads will not allow me to use a non-premium version -- anything I try to do in Notepad triggers the behemoth BUY PREMIUM pop-ups, rendering Notepad totally useless. I don't want colors, I don't want sticky notes, and I do not want the persistent pop-ups. If you'd like to launch a premium version, make it a separate app. I will remove Notepad and go looking for a less
