PlainText – Dropbox text editing Screenshots

Description

For editing text on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. PlainText is a simple text editor with an uncomplicated, paper-like user interface. Unlike the default Notes app, PlainText allows you to create and organize your documents in folders and sync everything with Dropbox.com.

FOLDERS keep your documents organized.
PAPER-LIKE INTERFACE keeps the focus on your text.
DROPBOX SYNC means your documents are always available.

A truly great example of how iPad apps should be written. PlainText is simple, uncluttered, and very pretty. Its a lovely thing to be looking at for one, two, three, four hours while youre trying to write something.

Customer Reviews

The app was perfect until (3 stars)
Advertisement was added,shame you followed the others. I thought you were one of the few exceptions that recognize how important focus & concentration are.

Works great with Notational Velocity (5 stars)
The 1.6 update greatly improves search UI and the whole app feels faster and more reliable. I don't understand why this app is constantly left off best-of lists for writing and note taking on iOS. Do it!

I was apprehensive about switching to PlainText, since Simplenote sync (with Notational Velocity on the Mac) has been reliable for me, and I've come to rely heavily on NV sync. But I'm glad I did.

PlainText is beautiful,

Great but…. (4 stars)
Not the way to go if you are writing a huge txt doc with over 8k words
