Up until the moment it suddenly crashed because "the text blocked during writing", deleting well over 2 hours of writing even though I had saved my progress, it was fine. But this gave me a heartattack and 2 hours of deleted work I will not get back. I'm sorry, but I can't keep using this if it happens out of the blue.

ok app but why does it keep files from older sessions open??? The same files get repeated too! There should be an option to always open an empty session.

Have used this for a couple of years now as a simple text editor - the equivalent of Notepad on Windows.

My only issue with it is that it chokes when trying to print files that are more than one page in length. It cuts off the text after about a page. The remaining pages will come out of the printer, but blank.

I'm not a programmer so can't guess at the cause. But it's like the app has a small "buffer" of about a page worth of text, and that's it.

Has anyone else run into this?

It was very cool! I would always go to videos and videos trying to find the script in Roblox Studio I pasted, but now I paste these scripts in the app so I could never lose them! This is the best app!

Suggestions: Maybe add some colours to the text? Overall, it's great!
