Pretext for Positive User Reviews
✓ Essential for on-the-go text-file editing:I am not always at my desktop computer when I need to edit a text-file. Unfortunately, my iPad’s built-in software can view text files, but can not edit them. This app, therefore, comes to the rescue..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Exactly what I needI keep a journal in Markdown on my main computer, and Pretext allows me to view and edit journal entries on my handheld devices. So nice to have a simple program that just does what it says it does..Version: 1.1.0
✓ It’s like Notepad for iOS, but a little betterMinimalist text editor. Free. Exactly what I needed. Easily edit text documents from any storage account linked in the Files app. Somebody complained you can’t print. But you can - on share sheet options choose Preview as Markdown HTML, once preview is rendered then do share again, print should be there..Version: 1.1.0
✓ A great “little text” editorI’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I use it as a simple, no frills editor for small snippets of text that I don’t want to have cluttering up my more permanent documents..Version: 1.0.3
✓ AwesomeSo great... I keep lots of text files on cloud drives and its so easy to edit and update these files with Pretext!!!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ No problems so far.Easily the best native markdown editor / reader for use with the Apple Files app. It’s completely part of my day to day workflow now..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Exactly what I’m looking forSimple highlights, iCloud storage, no sign up sign in, what can I ask for more? Who need a note app eh?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Almost perfectApp is great, for me though the lack of search is a huge loss..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very good text editorThis is a very good, extremely easy to use text editor. I would rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ except for two issues: 1. It's really hard to contact the developer for support! 2. The HTML preview feature (really useful it is to) has a problem. HTML Preview Characterset Problem: Non-ascii characters are not processed, instead show as random characters For example "…" (horizontal ellipsis) character shows as "…" and "—" (EM dash) shows as 'â€"' These non-ascii characters display perfectly in the editor pane. Hopefully the developer sees this and resolves it. Then I'll give him the extra ⭐️.Version: 1.1.0
✓ GreatOnly thing missing would be typography controls so I can reduce the line height..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Writing review to stop being nagged toI have no idea how good or bad this app is, only used it for 2 minutes, was nagged for rating/review 4 times in that time..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Quite perfect for meI needed a basic and functional markdown editing app to sync to iCloud so I can just write and access the files from either iPhone or iPad. I really appreciate the split screen mode for being able to see my day one journals entries side by side with a file I am editing on iPadOS. The app just fits inside my needs for writing and sharing those files where I want to work. The editing window is fantastic. Nothing there until i fill it. Please don’t change anything but if you happen to consider an updated version for iOS and iPadOS 14 a nifty widget with recent files could be cool..Version: 1.1.0
✓ The BestChanged how I keep simple notes between jobs. The file/cloud integration works with all my services so it’s seamless between all major providers through the Files app on iOS. It literally “just works”. Paid the $0.99 just to throw the developers a bone. Keep up the good work..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Now working!This app is now working as expected, thank you so much! VERY much better and I particularly appreciate the easily visible cursor as this is something I struggle with in Ulysses. I would love to see the following: -more reliable opening of large/long Documents (eg, 500kb type size) as these still seem to crash the app or make it pause. -adjustable margins in typing mode, or at least the ability to choose between the present, full width, or 3/4 width -true full screen in typing mode, where even the top bit disappears but can be invoked with a tap/swipe- like Pixelmator does. Thanks again! My faith is restored in this app. —— I’ve tried two different storage containers, markdown files and plain text. Every time this app crashes. I like the concept so I hope this is sorted. Developer, I would have emailed you from within the app if you’d provided contact details, but if they’re there I didn’t see them. Not encouraging. I’m disappointed as I read a good review!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great appI am really enjoying this writing app. Killer feature is the simplicity and straightforward interface with files - opening, saving etc from various locations. Other similar apps made this so convoluted. One improvement could need to make saving files with a new name easier. I am having difficulty with the app when I close my iPad and then reopen. The app freezes and then I have to reload the file again. Would be great if this was fixed. I would also like it if I could change the margin size in settings..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great for editing Markdown 👌I use this app when I need to edit a Markdown or text file. It’s integration with all the file provider services is great and exactly what I needed..Version: 1.0.2
✓ I had it so I used it.Very Thankful to have had it on the market. The app was available for an IPhone 6 in 2019! I am easily in touch with developers to bounce ideas back and forth. I mean! I can even edit a review at anytime in any setting..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Essential App; Incredible ValueIntegrates with Files. I use to edit recipe files in markdown format directly in the application folder. Just so easy to use. While not feature rich it does what it needs to do seamlessly. A must have!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ The app is really interesting, and I support the idea,Idea of using it as I think I need to go forward with it and make it a (never use this word) journey. this review is motivating me to stick with it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Table, local photo support!You did a great job with the iOS 11 File APP. The problem I encountered is that this APP can’t display tables. All I see is text. I can’t see any photo within the same folder either..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great app but needs bug fixOpening a text file from the Files app opens the file into Pretext fine. However, the only option (Close) on the menu bar does nothing when it should presumably terminate the app. This is a huge workflow impact for me as I modify VPN profiles often which can total over 30 in a given day. Please fix this ASAP! Many thanks!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great IAP model and perfect editor.10/10. Good editor, no complaints here. But where this app really shines is how it doesn’t force you to pay to remove ads or whatever. It just works as is, and if you want a dark theme, you can contribute towards his coffee or whatever. Props man..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Replacement for Ios’ Notes’ weird removal of saving to CryptomatorCame across mention of this app on a site rightfully complaining about how iOS Notes inexplicably removed the basic functionality of saving a file to Cryptomator. This solves that. I can now use my device do things with my writings and files that I want to, and in fact bought an iPad to supposedly be able to do. Even if Apple has decided that I no longer need to do them..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Does What I Want.I just use this to transfer snippets of text between my iOS devices and my Win 10 PC. I created a text file in Pretext and saved it in a folder in my iCloud drive. Now I can see that folder and file using “iCloud For Windows” on my PC. I just type or paste in my snippet of text (using Pretext on my iOS devices or natively on my PC) and it appears on all my devices. It’s a great way to copy those long Keychain-created passwords for iOS apps and websites to enable logging in on the same app/website on the PC. Without transcribing errors! Saves emailing myself :) I just reuse the same file each time by altering its contents..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great plain text editor to edit directlyI use this for markdown and text files in cloud services and SFTP..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Excellent!This app can edit text files right in iCloud and it’s so quick and simple. Thank you!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Good editing...needs better storage optionsEditing in this app is decent. The preview button would be better as a UI control rather than a share action. It really needs support for direct. OneDrive and Dropbox though..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Does exactly what I wantedI just needed a text editor that worked with the text files on my phone. How hard was that to find? Pretty hard apparently. This app does the job well..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Good voiceover and voice control supportI really like how simple this editor is to use. However, this app restricts the file extensions that are supported making it less than useful for my purposes. Please let users decide which file extensions contain plain text regardless of the file extension. I have thousands of .tex files which makes it impractical to rename them all just to edit them and then have to rename them back..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Perfect Markdown Editor for iOS11Full Files access, minimal interface and markdown preview = exactly what I was looking for all these years. There’s even a dark theme. The only feature that I’m missing is the ability to set a custom font (ala Textor). Hopefully that will be added soon, hint hint :).Version: 1.0.0
✓ Shows much potentialOne of the better markdown editors for iOS but there is still room for improvement. A couple useful suggestions: 1) Make markdown styles affect not just color but also size and styling. I.e. a header should be bigger than normal text. Bold, italic, etc 2) Retain editing position when resuming app. Currently, it appears to bump the cursor to the end of the last open document, which is especially frustrating on longer docs because you then have to find where you were last editing. Otherwise, great work. Please keep at it devs!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Simple, distraction freeI need to work on my markdown files through iCloud on iPad. This is perfect for that - simple clean interface, no distractions. I’ve been using it for zettelkasten notes and it works well..Version: 1.1.0
✓ FantasticThis is a fantastic app that I have come to use daily. It is perfect for my needs. It is fast, intuitive and ‘distraction free’ without being pretentious about it. Highlights including; it uses the file browser rather than it’s own database. This is perfect for how I organise my files. The keyboard shortcuts! Such a joy to be able to instantly preview with a keyboard shortcut or insert all the syntax. Makes writing documents zippy and painless. A joy to use. Thanks for making it!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Nearly perfectAll it is missing is the option to change the font..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good AppWould be improved if the user could set the default file type in Settings to .txt or .md - A new document would then be created with the user’s default type and extension..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Exactly what the files app is missingI use a lot of plain text files and a lot of markdown files, and I wanted to have them sync in between my computers. I’m using iCloud and the file app which worked mostly well except for it can only read text files and can’t edit them. It’s exactly what the Files app is missing allows me to edit my plane text files and save some back and iCloud. The interface feels like it’s a native application. once installed, and you want to open a text file from iCloud in the Files app it will then be able to open in pretext app instead..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Elegant.This a great and relatively-simple app that let’s you create Markdown files quickly. It’s great to write a few things on the go, and then later copy the file into your text editor. I love the UI, it feels native to iOS, in my opinion. I can’t wait to see what comes next..Version: 1.1.0
✓ For convenient easy to use!I enjoy pretext Save me a lot of time My normal computer froze and needed to submit my class documents in time IT SAVE THE DAY !!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Awesome no-frills text editorThis is a non-boutique text editor with an interface very familiar to anyone used to Pages/Keynote/Numbers - but for editing ASCII (although that’s a bit old skool, I assume it creates Unicode text in the 21st century - I’ll have to check one of these days) it’s great as a free text editor but well worth the IAP to support and unlock a couple of nice-to-have tweaks.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very nice!This is a very nice app. Makes it very easy to access files on my iCloud Drive. There is one thing holding back on a 5 star review and purchase. Whenever I open a file and close it with out making any changes, it re saves the file updating the file modified date. When I open a file, and don’t make any changes, and close the file, then the last update date time should not be modified. Once this issue is resolved I will be a purchaser and a five star supporter..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very minimal and usefulLove writing with markdown, and this is a very minimalistic approach. Love an app you can use for free; this is everything you need and the upgrades are just the price of a coffee and potentially worth it too. Would recommend this app to anyone, especially those using a mor fully featured markdown app on their computer and want to make quick edits on the go!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Great app, but IAP for dark mode is nonsensicalCharge for themes, charge for something else, not dark mode... especially since it’s an accessibility issue plus I can just enable it for free by using smart invert so all you are doing is making me do 2 more clicks to achieve the same functionality. Great app otherwise..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Good simplified interface, small bugsI really appreciate the interface and simplicity of this editor. Edit: found my issues with OneDrive are with Onedrives implementation on iOS..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Notepad.exe for iOSThis was the Windows notepad.exe (or TextEdit on mac) equivalent for iOS I have been looking for. And I have finally found it, Alhamdullillah!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ GreatGreat app that let me edit markdown files stored in OneDrive. It can use iOS file directory and auto sync..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Love the clean editor, where’s find/replace?I love how this works easily with both on machine and in cloud text files. Very easy to work in, no worries about other stuff getting in the way. Now if the author could just include find and replace for text strings, it would be a five star rating. I hoped that was in the purchase, but no..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great overallI really like that this allows me to edit my text files directly from Dropbox, and I use the feature to preview as HTML all the time! But, as others have pointed out, I don't like how it updates the file whenever you open it without changing anything. Also, sometimes files don't refresh as quickly as you'd like them to, sometimes I have to navigate back and return to see files update. But maybe that's the nature of Dropbox integration. Finally, it would be nice if it could support advanced (maybe not kosher) features like tables. I would be willing to pay to get that..Version: 1.1.0
