      Awesome Guys!!!! I am impressed!!! The only bug I still see out of that long list I wrote was sometimes when navigating back to the documents list page the screen does not show the Documents list - but now it only shows a black screen - still easily fixed by navigating away from the documents page and then back!!

      Great job I love this App!!!

      Request for 1.0.8: Ability to copy TextGuru docs from the iPhone/iPod touch to the TextGuru file share on my Mac. (Or is that already there and I’m just missing it?)

      Document navigation is still an issue (I am editing a 60,000 word txt document. If I were able to search or scroll to the place I want to edit and simply double tap and have the cursor begin editing at that point, I would be able to do everything I need in textguru. Is navigating documents somewhere in the upcoming features?

      @baiguai:

      Not to worry, we’re working on a sytem that will allow you speed-scroll through your longer documents and bookmark locations. We’ve included this feature for PDF/Office documents in the upcoming 1.0.7 update but it will also find its way into to text documents as well in v1.1.

      For a preview of this feature, take a look at this:

      Thank you very much! That looks great! — I should have mentioned that the home/end buttons have been a major help. It may sound silly, but I bought the iphone primarily to be able to write novels on it - so I can write anywhere I am. And this is the only app I have been able to do that with. With added navigation I can also proof read my work and make fixes and edits.

      Thanks!

      What I’m really wanting is bidirectional *automatic* sync with file server component. If this could also be implemented to use EDGE/3G you’d have a game changer! In the app’s “coming soon” features, you mention FTP support. Any update on that?
      Thanks a ton!

      How do I get office files from my Windows XP system onto Textguru on iPod Touch? Can someone help?

      Never mind, I found out how that works. But another question: How do I edit the office documents I transferred to my ipod touch?

      I have been using TextGuru for about 3 weeks now and loving it, I am a field tech and I create a 2 files at each site at about 10 sites per day, My question is, Just how many files can I create, Is there an upper limit?

      Also, Have you thought of making a simple .CSV editor.

      Thanks again.

      Great program.
      Two things not so great, though…
      - No support for RTF
      - Bottom toolbar does not show with PDF or Word docs.

      1.0.6.
      New text document can’t be edit in landscape mode.
      Is this by design or error?
      Thanks,

      Great software, I really love it. Dito on some sort of directory system. Need a way to create folders. Is this in the works?

      I love TextGuru ! The thing that would make it perfect would be color coded formating for C and objective C files !

      Thanks
