A competent text editor with tabbing and syntax highlighting in many languages.
I tested version 1 and 2 of this. Version 2 shows promise but can’t use external files.
Abandoned – Not updated in three years and has outstanding bugs.

Android simple generic text editor.
It’s simple, but seems to be bugged; it can’t use external storage.

A particularly powerful plain text editor
It’s a great text editor, but its todo.txt functionality is wholly unusable and won’t be fixed.

The pro version never had all the features of the free version.
I loved the free version, but it was discontinued.
Abandoned – As of 2024-08-30 last updated 2023-09-19, and removed from the developer’s website some time after 2022-12-27. The store version bugs out.

A beautified text editor with the widgets around the edges removed (“distraction-free”).
I started using it because I couldn’t trivially get Geany spell checking working. Once I did get it working I stopped.
Although I’ve used this on Linux a bit, it merely idles in my Windows kit.
