myTexts pro

This is the best writing app. Together with the Mac version and the Dropbox sync it is a perfekt setup for pro writing.<br/><br/>The only function I miss is a folder/chapter structure. If you work on more than one book the file structure is a challenge.<br/>Hope this comes in an future release.<br/><br/>Thanks mannik

I managed to snag this while it was on a free sale... thank goodness. I thought it would allow me to do some simple text formatting such as bold, italics, etc.: Nope. It handles HTML files. I thought, maybe, it would highlight tags, auto indent, something... Nope again.<br/><br/>What this is is a basic text editor that allows you to integrate with Dropbox and iDisk. I'm not $4.99 impressed when many of the features are available in the free PlainText app. I don't expect it to be a full-fledged word processor but give us something for $4.99.<br/><br/>I will admit the PDF export could come in very handy. Nice touch.<br/><br/>Want to see some of the features that would make this app go from good to great? Check out NotePad++ on the PC. (I am not affiliated with the publishers of NotePad++)

I like the invert color option, but it's a little buggy when loading from Dropbox and not worth $5.

So Dropbox changed their software so I can no longer use any of the upload to dropbox features and the features that should be shown when I tap the curly arrow and a window pops up. . . Well there are no features or options in that window anymore. . . None! What is going on? You really need to update your software pronto so it's compatible with the ipad 4 and the software that people use most often to keep their valuable work secure and available. I want to give you 5 stars because of the great features I have and had. I will sing your praises once you fix this mess! Or contact me and tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

For those used to working with a full-fledged text editor on their desktop, myTexts Pro gives you the same feel and function on the iPad. The web preview and TextExpander support makes this a very functional HTML editor as well. I've used this a lot for blogging+ and hand coding and can say it's very full-featured text editor.<br/><br/>+ desktop version for Mac users<br/>+ serious text editor features like find, replace, word and character count<br/>+ writes .txt, .html and .md file formats<br/>+ import and export to enabled apps directly on your iPad<br/>+ web preview<br/>+ TextExpander support<br/>+ landscape orientation<br/>+ autosave<br/>+ Dropbox sync<br/><br/>- does not export PDFs as emphasized text<br/>- searches file names only not full text<br/>- currently issues with search not finding the correct document<br/>- web preview gets hung up on certain HTML characters

OK, with the latest update this app has become a good and solid solution for the iPad. Add AirPrint and I will give it five stars.

When they say &quot;dropbox support&quot; they mean that you can open files from the dropbox app into myText. There's no integrated dropbox support however. <br/><br/>Cannot recognize text files with non-standard extensions, e.g. c, c++, tex, etc. No option to specify the recognized extensions (as many other text editor apps have). <br/><br/>Tried opening a 700kb .txt file from the dropbox app and myTexts crashed.

For me it is working almost perfect. <br/>First had some problems with the iDisk, but got a response within minutes.<br/>I like the fullscreen and the keyboard.<br/><br/>There is one glitch with the bluetooth keyboard, you have to turn the additions off by hand in the settings. Would be nice if one don't need to do that.<br/><br/>Otherwise, keep up the good work.
