  • 4 months ago: New App Version 6.0.6 ☛ 7.1.4
Kann man kaum besser machen

Ich nutze die App häufig um Blogeinträge vorzufertigen und ähnliches. Dafür ist sie super und vor allem nicht so überladen

UURRGH

Beautiful interface, but I just saw my work vanish into the ether. A document inexplicably appeared in the iCloud list that was blank except for having the same heading as the one I was working on, in plain text rather than bold. When I deleted it and returned to my actual doc, it was empty. Tantalizingly, the document preview still showed the first bit of the lost text.

FAIL! Buggy with 9.3.2

My iCloud files disappeared before my eyes. I deleted and reinstalled the app and the iCloud files and folders are back, however when I open the file they all disappear again. Obviously this needs a fix and the app will be back to its usual greatness. In the meantime beware.

Верните группы!

Программа — огонь! Невероятно удобный интерфейс. Синхронизация. Впору пришлось это управление свайпами. Адекватный HTML. Удобно, что картинки пакуются в <figure>. Тоскую по безвременно ушедшей (с версией про) идеей делить записи на группы: Note, Edit, Write и Read. Да, все еще можно менять стандартное теперь расширение .txt на старые .note, .edit, .write, .read и самостоятельно распихивать файлы по соответствующим папкам, но это не айс. Зачем убрали этот функционал? Думаю, как раз из-за нестандартных расширений — другие программы не понимали, что в файле текст, и пользователю приходилось выполнять дополнительные телодвижения, чтобы открыть файл (в _другом_ редакторе). Поэтому был выбран .txt. Вот вам идея. Сделайте двойные расширения: .note.txt, .edit.txt, .write.txt, .read.txt, — убейте двух зайцев. Верните группы!

Perfect!

Its great for writing on the go and on desktop. The UI is slick and easy to read. Users can use shortcuts to access the styles easily and many other useful functions are available. It would be nice to have a revision markup. Meaning that you write a paper, essay, script, or etc..the first draft then use the "Revision" function to add more.

I love it, but just a few suggestions

I absolutely love the easy navigation and simplicity behind this app. I downloaded it a while ago and its probably my most used app at the moment. I would like to see the chance to change the title or initial sentence that shows up on the menu. Right now mine says what I wrote when I first started writing but my ideas have become more streamlined and it doesnt show up there. And one little thing, please make the menu bar - the one at the top of the page when writing - disappear in a smoother motion. It jolts the page as I scroll down and makes things a little jittery. Otherwise, keep up the clean, simple, great work!

Cannot download it

If I have given it one star, it is because I have not been able to download it. I bought it the day before yesterday. Every time a notice pops up saying "you have already bought this and you can download it at no extra charge." Yet it does not download.
