Does not break your Default App Extension settings (Updated)
By DaveOnTheRoad (Pcmac user)
As others have noted, this app appears to override your macOS default app settings for some files, i.e., GetInfo and Always Open With options don’t seem to work. On macOS this occurs when the file is stored in the this app iCloud folder and is a macOS/iCloud instituted behavior, not something done by this app. Since this is not a this app issue and the app is otherwise excellent - no reason not to give this app five stars. Thank you to the developer Alexander for his support in very quickly identifying the concern.

Unusable in fullscreen mode
By Samuel Goodell (Pcmac user)
I love the native UI that this app has but it is simply unusable for me because of one issue: it hides the tabs in fullscreen mode and there is no preference to keep them visible. When I have several codebases and need to swipe between them as fullscreen windows, I cannot use tabs because switching tabs requires me to move the mouse to the top of the screen.
It would be great if the developer added more options to customize basic UI stuff like this, but it is very narrow in focus. Probably great for whoever made it, not for me. Literally all I want is to keep the tabs visible as if it were not fullscreen.

Amazing
By MohamadKarbi (Pcmac user)
It'd be very wonderful to have folding option. Other than that it's my preferred edit text as it sync flawlessly with my phone and ipad. I thing it's the only app that have such feature. Keep the good job
