Q&A: What’s the best text editor app for Android?
Question from Hannah: I’m looking for a good text editor for my Android tablet. Can you give me a recommendation? Thanks.
Rick’s answer: Hannah, there are several good text editor apps available in the Google Play Store, but the one I use and recommend is Writer Plus.
This handy app works more like a “lite” word processor app than a simple text editor, but it does an excellent job working with plain text files as well.
The most important attribute of any app (in my mind at least) is high security and requiring as few invasive permissions as possible. This app meets both of those criteria well.
And on top of the above, it works flawlessly. Click here to check it out.
