What Our Users Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.

"SI DROID VM IS VERRY NICE GRANTS ELEMENT!mobility with network ct ,,,,z🧐#thanks Google!"

Mc rog parag Kumar das

"One of the better editors out there. If one knows vim they can use this version. Though limited only by the underlining Android OS this is still a great way to get your VIM on while mobile. Can be paired with Cloud Console or Termux for a full feature experence. Also, all vim commands seem to work so for the users who don't know how to use :colorscheme that's how you configure themes."

Dwight A. Spencer

"Great for editing, especially code! Excellent app."

Megan Lee Webb

"Was expecting a compromised version of vim but got a version that wonderfully adapts itself to the Android environment (with & without a physical keyboard) plus adds shell features."

Bob Heckel

"only have it for 10 minutes, but this looks like the real thing. but I don't see a cursor. also, when I opened ~/.vimrc to do some settings, I got a warning that later android versions might prohibit writing the system part of the filesystem, and I should read the help for vimfiles. a native app should have a proper location preconfigured, like the windows ports do with their _vimrc in the Userprofile."

Michael Lamertz

"Including my own personal experience with application. Good stuff"

Richie rich Anderson

"Amazing app. It's Open Source too! All I wanted was simple text editor functionality on my phone. Something to read utf8 and txt files and edit them. This is the only modern Android 11/12 app I've found that does this in a sane way. Moreover it finds a happy medium between touchscreen editing and vim keybindings, making my laptop/phone workflow just a bit more seemless. Will have to see if this holds up to a few days of use, but first blush is quite romantic."

Geo Stokes

"Pretty, but major problems. Zooming isn't smooth and screen width isn't respected."

G collette

"It just works."

Niklas Wikström

"it does what its supposed to do, but the extra keys, etc arent the best - i prefer just using termux."
