I started out using the free version and quickly converted to paid, have been using it since my first Android device. It's my go-to interface for entering larger passages of text, even if I end up moving it to some other app. The only small request I'd make would be to add a bottom border to the main window, any time there's text on the full screen the char/word/line count covers some of the content.

Really love the app it's very helpful when it comes to editing code there's been many times when I came up with an idea and couldn't do any thing without my computer and it even helps with editing things for the phone, for example mods for apps that support, usely you would have to download on your phone or just transfer a file from you computer just to edit the code in a file but this is a lot of help. My only problem is that when im editing a file with a lot of code it won't work.

favorite editor but... EDIT i have to drop it a couple stars as it doesn't handle root privilege as it should anymore. i.e. Open file can't navigate any deeper than internal storage, so i can't get to any files where i'd need root privs to edit unless i use a root file manager to get to the file and use that file manager's "open with.." interface to choose Droid Edit. Even then it'll fail to save.
