    I've tried both the paid and free versions. Syntax highlighting doesn't work at all. I'm opening files with sky drive. Sgs3

    I recently bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 and on find this thought it would be a good app to try. But it forces the keyboard and does not allow handwriting which I was hoping for.
