Comments on VI Editor Assistant for Android

★★★★★ Mohamed Imthiyas · Nov 11, 2016

Hats off to developer of Vi assistant My worry of learning Vi Editor has gone from my mind. It is now in my pocket everywhere for easy reference.

★★★★☆ Rick Ames · Jan 13, 2024

If this utility (vi/vim) is part of your job, you will find something useful in here. That's not bad for free. Memorize what you need, put it in your toolbox. Not a bad app for free.

★★★★★ Simon McCabe · Sep 27, 2016

Excellent Despite this being touted as a beginner guide, I think this is useful for anyone who uses vi whether you've used it once or a hundred times. It's nice to have a reference guide. Thanks to the developer who made this app.

★★★★☆ Mark Giddens · Nov 5, 2019

Don't fear (g)VI[m]! Thus, reference is handy for beginners as well as seasoned users who've got a bit rusty. It's a chest sheet. It's not complete. We've all got out favorite hidden tricks, but a section on selecting blocks (hint - v) seems odd to be missing (or am I overlooking something? I can think of a couple of features that would improve this app, but unless I write one myself this cheat sheet is good stuff.

★★☆☆☆ Msaa Msaa · Jul 16, 2020

I initially found this app lacking roo much information but this 2-star rating is mainly because it can be horribly inaccurate. I mean the author could have bothered to mention the mode of the command at least when it gets ambiguous like CTRL to delete to the beginning of the line. If I didn't know beforehand that it is an insert mode command I would have been pissed off at this quality. This app really needs major proofreading for the small handful of commands in there.

★★☆☆☆ Dave Smith · Sep 14, 2023

I like the command coverage of this app, but the navigation really sucks. Once I select a topic area I see no way to return to the main menu. I have to kill and restart the app to move to another topic.

★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Apr 5, 2014

Doesn't work Couldn't get the app to open a file. Also, how did one do an esc on a phone?
