Fantastic application. I just bought my iTouch last week and have been searching the App Store in hopes of finding such a program. My Palm PDA had the ability to search for text throughout ALL the files I had. I couldn’t believe that I couldn’t do this on an iTouch. I have been experimenting with Caravan, Files, DataCase and MobileFinder, but TextGuru is definitely my choice for file management, with search and replace capabilities, copy and paste and all the other features it supports. I can’t wait for Microsoft Office support.

Just purchased this. Great program!
I would like to suggest a few things:
1. Ability to turn off sound effects (e.g. clicking when changing fonts).
2. Full WebDAV support so I don’t need a separate desktop program to transfer files both ways.

I have just downloaded this great application and I want to suggest another feature: the possibility to backup/restore files online using google documents.

TextGuru could really use a proper monospace font like DejaVu Sans Mono or Inconsolata.
