It works.

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.

Unable to use app

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.

Love the product - I appreciate having my license restored

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!
