I wanted an editor that could quickly edit documents that are a megabyte or more in size. Droid Vim seems fine editing and searching through such documents. (I'll never use "advanced" features such as programming language support, so I can't comment on those.) I've found the developer to be quick and helpful in response to questions via email. It took me a while to adjust to Droid Vim's modes and commands, but I'm now very pleased with it.

Finally! Yes! On my Linux computer at home vim is my all-time favorite tool to use in the terminal, this is beyond epic thank you so much for porting this to Android as an app, now I don't have to figure out how to root my phone and possibly damage it. :)

5 starts for Vim. But actually unusable on touch device without physical keyboard. Perhaps with a better `.vimrc` it could be configured to be usable. E.g. by following gestures as mouse movement scan codes or something and mapping them to commands. Haven't tried.
★★☆☆☆
"Application ID is not correct" error when trying to enter external modules menu

The app it's self is quite well put together, but it lacks a compiler, and a runtime environment. Perhaps you could build those into a new app, and run it native? I would buy it myself, and there is no real competition apart from programming hub's online RE, and theirs has a number of issues. I have also been struggling to get vim to access other folders, so I can easily access it with my compiler (the PRU one ;)). I think it lacks the needed permissions but it won't ask for them.
★★☆☆☆
Cursor is shown in wrong place as you type. I know this worked fine when I used it sometime back
★★☆☆☆
Save not working. I edited a file and :w saved. It says saved, but when I opened the file again, it still has the original content
