Usability is paramount in TextWarrior and I feel the * indicator is not that useful in Android and can confuse novice users. In Android, the user should not have to worry about things like saving since the application is supposed to preserve transient state when switching applications. The only time when the user has to worry about saving is when opening a new file or exiting the program, since the changes might be permanently lost. In those cases, they will be prompted whether they want to save the file.
