Text Editor+

Tested: on iPhone and iPad, but app's editing tools do NOT work. Devices had iOS 6.1.3 installed. Inquired: Developer support reported, "RTF file will not work in iOS6. This feature is support in iOS7 only." =NEEDS=LISTING=UPDATE= < review will be updated if app is ever iOS 6 compatible >

I bought the app to have a text composing app on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6) that could save directly to Dropbox. I wasn't looking for more than the default Notes app functionality besides “save to dropbox”. The app does that part well. I like the way it allows me to name files. Basic text composition, open from any device attached to Dropbox. Good. PROBLEM Button Bar Disappearance: One thing I have noticed in the 1+ days I have been using TextEdit-- at the top of the screen there's a file name title bar and button bar below (buttons: save file, close file, zoom, open/close keyboard). After a while, those disappear. The text and the keyboard were the only things visible. I WAS able to make them reappear by touching near the top of the screen. But as I kept working with the app, I could NOT get the buttons to reappear. I'd composed a lot of text and there was no way to save it without the save button. I tried touching, pinching, swiping, pressing for a long while, pulling down at top of page. Nothing. WORKAROUND: To save the text, here's what I did-- 1. select all, copy. 2. Paste not a new note so I was sure I had it. 3. Tap home button to go to home screen, then double tap home button to display all open app icons. 4. Press the TextEdit+ icon until the close button appeared, press close button. 5. Relaunch app (hello again, user interface and button bar!), navigate to file name, open file. Select all paste. Save.

And possibly others. This feels like beta software. I just bought this app and spent half an hour editing a document, pressed save many times, checked it later in my Dropbox - the file was not up to date. Returning to my note via the folder system in this app, all my changes had been lost. VERY annoying, especially as it's one of the few iOS text editor which does .rtf, the reason I bought it
