This is my favorite iPhone text editor and as combined with the dropbox cloud connection it is a dream It does detect changes to the original file and auto updates the file you are looking at live like other text programs for other clouds Apple Notes and Google Docs It saves your working file as well promptly on the background continuously as you edit It efficiently warns you if what you are looking at has been change elsewhere as has happened to me when a program on my pc has auto updated text on the file while I am editing on my iPhone Personally one reason I like to rely on the Dropbox cloud is the simple way I can use Windows programs to write to AND read from the cloud files No problem using TextForce simultaneously with the computer You can choose on the iPhone to keep your edits which TextForce neatly handles by modifying the name of the file you have locally on TextForce to make an additional file version I wish TextForce was available for Android devices TextForce is unlike the Android dropbox text editor that only transmits changes when the file is being closed and a save prompt is hopefully then you press the save button presented Functionally is much better than the meager iPhone Notes As easy to work with as the excellent google docs but using the dropbox cloud                     Heaven sent DrCruz1

When I updated to the latest version of textforce I lost access to many of my dropbox text files on both my iPhone 6 and my iPad Pro I can see these files and their contents on my laptop and with the Dropbox text editor they are listed as files on textforce but when I select them they appear as empty with 0 bytes Can I go back to a previous version or is there a fix I ve used and loved Textforce for over a year but now i m very frustrated with this update         Lost files 47joy

Best replacement for SimpleText which is no longer supported                     Perfect useful simple text editor for Dropbox files Zipczyk

The cursor helper feature alone is worth buying this app if you work with much text at all on an iPhone But now I d like the same feature in any and all apps that ever edit text better yet as a standard feature at the OS level Yet I haven t seen anything like it in any other app                     More or Less Great Steven Zyler

Happy for the latest bug fix simple and fast Textforce is ideal for my needs                     Wonderful App PodRed

Updated Review 2016 11 29 Noticed an update to bring it current to iOS 10 Awesome One of my key apps that I use I had started to receive Apple pop up warnings about using the app The app works and is solid for what I need Thank you for the update Original Review 2016 08 24 I ve been using this app for years to edit text files in Dropbox It works and is solid at this Yea there could be a few improvements especially since last update was back in 2014 Makes me wonder when something will break But all in all one of my key apps Thanks                     glad for the update catching-up

So I have lots of txt file saved on Dropbox this app succeed open two of them the other is blank when I open them Must be a problem with Unicode     can t open most of my txt file moonbreez

BACKGROUND When I m browsing my files in the Dropbox app I may suddenly have a need to make a note Dropbox can t do it which is why I need an app like this Let s assume I already have a txt file in Dropbox and I just want to edit it PROBLEM I ll just select open in and then choose your app and it will take me directly to that file in your app and I m editing in no time right Wrong Your app isn t even listed in activities as an option And if it were it would probably merely just open the app instead of the file itself That is to say I ll have to navigate to the file for the 2nd time I ve gone through many apps to find a solution Others do show up in the activities open in list PlainText for example but do not open the file just the app Microsoft Word and Excel do open the file directly so I know it s possible But Word won t open a txt file SOLUTION Use word docs instead of txt files Ew                 good but missing core function patrickjk

I was using workflowy for the past year to keep notes at the ready during Bible study and to be able to reference or add things to research on the Sabbath but started looking for an alternative that would not cost 4 95 a month Since I use Dropbox across several computers and txt is the ultimate universal file format this app completes the process and it saves me 60 a year along with allowing for more formatting options The search and replace function WITH Reg Exp is priceless                     Allows universal documents KG7OVN

there are so many text editor apps This syncs dropbox and text file search function is easy and works great                     perfect text search Marc_Compere

1 No search function in the app so if you actually make use of 100gb of drop box space paid version expect to be doing a log of browsing for the file you re looking for 2 No open with from within the drop box app itself Drop box does have a very powerful search function but you can t open your text file using the open with facility built into dropbox 3 Support Yeah uh no No link or information here on iTunes go ahead and do a google search for Yutaka Yagiura And you won t find a web page dedicated to their line of products so you can t ask a question or suggest a feature let alone report a bug 4 The one thing that is a plus with this app is that when you do find your file and edit it it save directly back up to drop box and you don t have to click through 5 different steps to get that to happen like other apps so all in all it s pretty frustrating trying to find an app that will fit your purpose on iTunes any more searching for a text editor that will search for a text file open it allow you to edit it and save it back to dropbox has been a two hour ordeal and about 15 spent on wasted apps with no satisfying result Not fun         Ugh Frustrated RCEvans

Effortless syncing with Dropbox Easy to use I gave it 4 stars because I wish it could print                 Works as expected Flawlessly syncs IT.mgr

I needed a new editor for my Dropbox text files after PlainText stopped syncing correctly for me Took a chance on this app and I actually prefer it now the interface is rougher but it has a lot of smart intuitive features Definitely worth my 3                     good minimalist editor with power under the hood Stephen Y Liu

Some of the plain text editors for iOS don t allow access to your entire Dropbox folder but this one does This is important to me because I have a lot of pre existing notes as txt files in my Dropbox                     Simple and Great QuantumAnomaly

As title say like the official Dropbox app             any way to add a password when app open GoodTheo

Descent but clunky It s a good list maker but really bad for meeting notes which is what I need             Descent but DuaneSQL

Dropbox is ok but could you make it a local text editor on iPhone In order to edit text files that are already inside my iPhone I have to install Dropbox at first upload the files to Dropbox and then use TextForce to edit them Also it seems your program doesn t support encodings other than UTF 8 and UTF 16 I really hope that in the future you can make it support more encodings For example GBK encodings for some txt files in Chinese             Editor is powerful but dunkirk16

All the notes I write with this app synced with Dropbox to my PC is Jacked up and I end up having to fix re write them Basically paragraphs turn into 2 lines of long tesx with some mumbo jumbo squares in between sentences Text written on PC notepad synced to Textforce is fine tho Been using this app for a while and every update I see I hope the issue would be fixed but nope I mentioned this issue a while months back too Same deal         Need fix SevenStarGod

This is exactly what I ve been looking for good price too Thanks                     Great kpadgett1

Does not support RTF PDF or DOC TextForce will open any extension you like but unless it s plain TXT you won t see much else but a garbled mess It s unfortunate really because it supports direct integration with Dropbox bookmarking great for files in nested folders recent files cacheing and much more It s fast intuitive and stable So sad that it can t handle reading or writing even the most basic set of rich text no bold italic lists hyperlinks etc Non TXT files are either completely unreadable or barely legible I haven t dared try to edit and re sync an RTF for fear of losing the formatting from my original file Add support for reading RTF and you ll have yourself a 4 app Add support for writing RTF and you ll have 5             Fast featured no support for rich text iamshimone

But it needs to be able to read Microsoft word files and be able to edit once that is done I promise that this I defiantly worth the 4 00 Tks             Great iPod rules101

Needs 1 Ability to open arbitrary text files from email other apps using the Open in option 2 Hide sidebar in landscape orientation for full screen landscape editing 3 Syntax highlighting Recommended so far Thanks                 A good start djc0

Using this to edit source code on DropBox So fast caches files locally edits great When in landscape view you can simply tap any other file in the current folder and it opens instantly The previous file then syncs with DropBox It also auto reloads when a file is updated from another computer Super handy Great find replace You can use any file extension but you need to add the custom extension of your files in settings Don t use a period before the custom extension just the extension itself bad c good c My wishes for next version allow choice to not wrap long lines highlight programming syntax allow hiding of the list in landscape view so long lines can spread wider Still 5 stars just for what it does now Love this                     Awesome for jumping between source code files on DropBox Steamfire

Great program Excellent customer support                     Great program wrandall1234

After a few minutes at least the app is stable and user friendly It also allows emailing of files Being able to create and edit html tex and other such files is great A few features could be added in the future but this is a very solid first version                 Solid text editor with Dropbox integration redmarker
