1Writer - Markdown Text Editor App Comments & Reviews

1Writer - Markdown Text Editor Positive Reviews

Clean, Simple, and DependableAfter bouncing around the world of Markdown editors on iPad, I eventually began oscillating between iA Writer and 1Writer. iA has some nice features depending on your use case (better templating, typewriter mode, all that good stuff), but I would have weird issues with it at times. Its Dropbox support is already pretty wonky compared to most other apps, and eventually completely stopped working for me a couple months ago. 1Writer has been bullet-proof, though. It does exactly what it says, and does it well. There are small quality-of-life things like being able to close your current file without opening up another one. I don't know why, but it's just nice to be able to do that. It's been easy to use, and I even poked around in their Javascript tools to create a small action that copies my current Markdown document, and opens up my blog CMS so I can "export" it to Wordpress. Not as clean as iA, but gets the job done. I recommend it as a really good place for anyone to get started with Markdown on their iOS devices..Version: 3.3.4

All around stellar app: my go toI used Editorial for many years and though I tried many other writing and note taking apps before and after that, 1Writer is the one I use every day and trust the most with my writing and notes. Another app worth a look in this space is the new app Tot from Icon Factory which is a fun, simpler take with similarly high standards. But 1Writer is far more powerful and flexible, and allows me to use iCloud to edit my notes on the Mac in my preferred text editor which is usually Sublime Text these days. Having access to the raw files in a normal filesystem matters to me, and 1Writer strikes the perfect balance for me of being quick to capture an idea with sane, customizable defaults, and fully featured enough to go back and find then edit that idea later. The switch between editing and previewing markdown can be quirky to get used to but it's handled well here. Plus the in-app browser experience was recently simplified to great benefit. It's nice to see the app keep improving so considerably and steadily..Version: 3.3.6

Best so far; wish I could “select line.”I’m a writer and I’ve been through a number of text editors for iOS. When my last favorite one wilted and died due to lack of support, I set out to find a really good one. Various sources steered me to 1Writer, and I discovered I’d already bought it in the past but never used it. I reinstalled it, set it up to sync with Dropbox, and have been happy ever since. My previous text editors would often not allow me to create new files unless I was online or had a data signal (because I had them set to sync with Dropbox), but 1Writer doesn’t give me that trouble. The one thing I really miss from my last, now dead, text editor was the option to “select line” when you touch and hold and get the usual “select” and “select all” options. Often, it would be convenient to select a line or paragraph without having to drag the beginning and ending markers hither & yon using a touch screen. So pleeeeeeeeease add that, okay? Thanks!.Version: 3.3

Love this app; much cleaner than Drafts. In-place editing not ready yet.Have been really enjoying this app so far. I started experimenting with TextExpander and one thing I would really like to see is better support like Drafts has. For example, when expanding a snippet with placeholders, Drafts actually opens up the TextExpander app so that you can fill in the placeholder and then returns to completed text to the Drafts app. Also, trying to edit in place inside Dropbox seems to be buggy. It constantly tries to update the file while it's still open, which has caused me to lose some work. I haven't bothered with that since first trying it. I do appreciate the Dropbox integration. One thing I would like is the ability to create the new files inside a Dropbox folder of my choice so that they are available on all devices. What's the point of saving something locally? Maybe this feature is there and I just haven't found it yet. EDIT: thanks for the response. To clarify, I meant setting the default location of NEW files to Dropbox. In other words, having the new files when I open the app automatically save to Dropbox instead of to the device. EDIT 2: Well, this feature is already there. Never mind!! Thanks for the response once again. Overall a five star app; improved TextExpander support would really make it nice for composing emails with templates and placeholders. Please add it!.Version: 2.8.2

Really appreciate this for ZettelkastenHope more features are added overtime (like creating custom shortcuts for each of the actions maybe!?) One of my main issues with this app is not being able to see the whole title of your notes. So please fix this first. Everyone who uses this for ZK notes complains about this and I imagine it would be a relatively easy fix. Would be nice also if you could open links in the side window like Bear which makes it easy to flip through the links in a note to quickly take a look at them. FWI in Bear the right window stays put when you click links and the left window opens the link. In 1Writer when you click a link you leave the page you’re on even if you have two windows open..Version: 3.1

Remains awesomePrior to getting this app, I had tried around 30 “mark down-capable, cloud-connected“ iPhone apps to integrate with many notes stored in many folders on dropbox. I first tried Simplenote and some others, I think 2011-ish, because I was unhappy with Evernote‘s lock-in of my text notes, and I had heard Merlin Mann and some other respected tech folks explain plaintext and markdown. Over the years, some apps would work for a while, then not. I switched to 1Writer in 2016 or 2017, and I liked the interface, the favorite folders, and the tag support. After having years of problems with apps not being able to handle dropbox synchronization without bogging down, crashing, duplicating data, etc., I was prepared for this app to eventually fail as well. Good news for me – it did not fail, and the synchronization has been amazingly good – no crashes or duplicates, no need to restart the synchronization all the time. Even if I don’t synchronize for a while, then go back into the app and rubber band to refresh, and then leave the app, when I return, everything is synced up nicely. I have no time to write reviews, but my sense of gratitude for this great app compels me to share the goodness, so there you go :-).Version: 2.8.4

Best app for plain text editingLast decade I began to separate content from style as a CSS + HTML based website designer. I normally write all content as plain text, then import and style as appropriate for web, print, etc. My file structure is mainly plain text files organized by client and project into folders. 1Writer is ideal for working this way. I can quickly browse and edit cloud-based files on the iPad, then do likewise on the Mac using a standard text editor and Finder. Sync between platforms has been working well for me. I prefer this paradigm to other text editing apps that bundle multiple documents into a single large package. The 1Writer interface is thoughtfully designed, uncluttered and stable. Markup is a welcome bonus at times that I use it..Version: 2.9.4

Great note taking appI started using 1Writer with Dropbox years ago, which allowed me to take notes on both my iPad and iPhone and sync them to various other computers. Super helpful, and the direct editing of files on Dropbox was generally pretty robust (I don’t remember ever losing data when switching between devices on the same document, though obviously something I would try to be careful about!). Now that I’m migrating to a WebDAV server for syncing, 1Writer is still my go-to note taking app. I appreciate the in-line style preview for Markdown formatting, and while I had some crashing issues at first with the new server setup, it’s all sorted out now. Thanks for the great app..Version: 3.3.5

Excellent app, replacement for permanoteJust started using 1Writer and I find the interface great and customizability of the actions and extended keyboard row to be fantastic. It was hard to find the settings for a while (have to swipe from left side of the screen). I also suggest searching the 1Writer actions directory website for easy actions to install and tweak. Really looking forward to using this. I used to use Permanote, but when I upgraded my phone, I could not longer use the standalone version. The current Permanote version charges a subscription, and the price is just a bit too much for me for an app..Version: 3.3.6

Works for my needsMy needs are a simple text message editor that can handle larger files, which it does really well. You can also dive into some extended, cool functionality if you need to. [This appears to be fixed now] My only negative would be that while the editor is open and I’m editing a file, if I rotate the phone (usually by accident) and rotate it back the app hangs for a couple seconds then crashes. I’ve never lost data from this happening, so it’s a minor annoyance. It’s been a very reliable app for my needs for years. I highly recommend it..Version: 3.3.6

Normally 5 Stars, but...Ok. I gave this app 5 stars because it truly is incredible and deserves 5 stars ... normally. You see, 1Writer has been an essential component in my trusted Drafts / nvALT / Dropbox note system for years. BUT, if it weren't for our long-standing relationship, I'd knock it down to 4 stars. Why? At some point in the last year or so, the app stopped being able to handle my notes folder: It crashes (every time, without fail) after just a handful of insignificant edits to any given note. Devs, please fix! 1Writer is one of the best in class, and I don't want to have to migrate to an alternative!.Version: 3.0.4

Amazing Useful AppI use this App daily and find it extremely useful. It's my go-to App for all text writing. I love the way you can set up folders and subfolders - very helpful. EDIT: I still love this App, but it has a flaw that drives me nuts. If I copy a link into a document, then go to touch the link (the plan being to use it in email or another document), I end up at the link location! Finally, it's almost impossible to exit back to the base App. (I tried to find an email to report this issue, but I might have missed it...).Version: 3.3.5

One of the few left that syncs with DropboxThanks for still syncing with Dropbox. Other apps used to synch with third parties but for some reason most are iCloud only. I use an iPhone and a windows laptop so finding apps that work across both is a pain sometimes. 1Writer allows me to write and see my notes on my iPhone while still allowing me to use my windows machine to edit and write as well. Finally the tag support is top notch here and I can navigate/view my tags here in the app and on my laptop so I’m very happy. Thanks to you developers working on this app..Version: 2.9.4

Excellent Text Editing App1Writer is an excellent text editor. I love the WebDav support that I use to sync with my Nextcloud server. Most ipad text editors really only work well with iCloud, but that’s not the case with 1Writer. Also I can link to local photos within a file and actually see the photos in preview unlike other text editor apps for ipad that I have tried. Finally, this app just looks and works great...Good theme options, intuitive UI, and I can even switch off the in app browser (which is the only part of this app I don’t care for.).Version: 3.0.4

The best out there for IPhone.I bought this app the first week it was on the App Store and I’ve been using it almost daily since. It’s got all the features most would want and since it’s release it has been updated almost continually by the Dev. If it doesn’t have a feature you think you might need, wait a month and it probably will. It’s easy to use and has a robust filing system searchable by title, date, sub file, or hashtag. As I said, this is the best text editor currently available for IPhone . Well worth the price..Version: 2.8.1

Big fan of this appOne feature that feels missing: when opening a file from Dropbox, there’s not an indication of whether that file is the current version until the app finishes syncing. It only takes a few seconds to sync, but that’s enough time to make an edit that will generate a Dropbox “conflicted” duplicate of the file. If there were a visual “syncing” indicator, or if Dropbox files weren’t editable until syncing completed, that would clarify that 1Writer is working in the background, which isn’t clear currently..Version: 3.3.6

A must have!This app is one of the best out there. Simple yet customizable. It does pretty much everything I need without charging me a monthly or yearly fee like some other apps out there. I only have two small requests. First is that I would like to be able to customize the line length. I’m using an iPad Pro, 12.9” screen and the app leaves a lot of white space on the sides. If I could choose the line length (size of the margins) that would make this app even better. Lastly, please add the ability to export as an RTF file..Version: 3.0.2

Good and can be better1. When I press `edit` button in preview mode, it shows the section where I was in edit mode. In most cases, I want to edit what I am previewing. So It would be convenient & reasonable to show the `edit` section same with preview mode. And vice versa. Please update the sync of page between two modes. 2. In iPhone XR, With bluetooth keyboard connected and landscape mode, it is very hard to scroll the bottom tool button by finger because it enables the home button action of iPhone XR, Please add the right and left arrow to allow the scroll of tool button by tapping it..Version: 2.9.2

Fantastic Customer ServiceI originally downloaded this app as a replacement for Plaintext 2, who went out of business and stopped supporting the app. I had some issues with the .txt files I saved pulling up in other programs showing symbols instead of quotes. I shot an email to them when I was just about to give up, and quickly received a personalized response and fully detailed answer to my question (basically turn off Smart Quotes and Smart Dashes in 1Writers Settings). Fantastic App Awesome Customer Support.Version: 2.7

Currently my favorite simple markdown editorIt’s a simple app that gets the job done, integrates well with iCloud and Dropbox, and doesn’t crash (unlike some prominent non-free editors I’ve tried). Currently my go-to markdown editor even though I have a paid subscription to a competing app. One complaint: I don’t see a way to increase the font size for easier viewing. Also, while there may be a feature to create footnotes/endnotes, I haven’t seen it..Version: 3.3.6

Developer Thought of EverythingI use this application to edit markdown notes stored in pCloud using WebDAV so everything syncs nicely with my computer. It’s a breeze to type, especially with the handy special characters keyboard. The export function threw me for a loop at first because it defaulted to hard line breaks. I was just about to give up for another app when I found a setting just for line breaking. So glad to keep using my favorite app!.Version: 3.3.5

Better and Better1Writer is the best of several notes apps that I have tried as a mobile companion to NValt (Notational Velocity)on my Mac. But I had been looking around at different note apps hoping to find one that offered wiki style links, using paired square brackets, without success. But now that feature has come to 1Writer, so I don’t have to look elsewhere. Since that linking system works in NValt as well as 1Writer, I’ve basically got a plain-text database syncing between my Mac, my iPhone, and my iPad. Awesome!.Version: 2.9.2

Great! One thing I’d like to seeThis app really provides a distraction free, easily comprehensible writing environment. I use it for everything from chapter drafts to blog posts to research notes. That being said I’d like to see support for the triple dash line divide that I’ve seen in other markdown apps and the ability to leave spaces at the beginning of a paragraph(not talking about tab indentation, just to be clear.) I don’t have much issue with the existing app. It works perfectly well, but I would easily give 5 stars if it had a few more formatting options!.Version: 2.9.2

Best writing app I’ve ever used.This app is fantastic. One of its best features is how it will remember where you last left the cursor in a document when you open another. You can swipe out of a draft and come back to it right where you left off. This and being able to organize everything into files has made it one of my most used apps because of how easy it makes writing..Version: 3.3.6

SammyDuck1Writer is perhaps the most versatile and dependable markdown editor in the App Store. Its track record, since its inception, has yet to be beat. The downloadable actions, which extend the feature set enormously, are indispensable, or one can create one’s own actions using Javascript. Its url scheme is first rate and allows it to connect well with other apps and services. I use this app for posting to my Wordpress site. The UI is about as clean and clear as they get. This app is perfect for everything from blogging to novel writing, and it is remarkably bug-free. Dropbox syncing to specific folders is quite reliable. One wish I’d voice: It would be great to manually sort all files and folders at every level. Though merging files is possible thru drag-and-drop, that could be facilitated a bit, I think. You really can’t go wrong here..Version: 2.9

All-round great writing appA wonderful app for working on text/markdown files. Syncing with Dropbox, it feels seamless to switch back and forth between writing on PC and on phone. As some of my notes are somewhat long and divided by several headings, I'd love to see an activatable toggle/fold option (in edit mode) for hiding content of headings and even for bullet points. This would help me navigate long notes and keep writing space cleaner. But this is extra, this really is an all-round great writing app..Version: 3.1

Love this App!I was given a $40 Apple Gift card for my birthday and after thinking about it I decided to use that money to find the best for me general purpose text and Markdown editor app. Using some ratings web sites I bought the top 5 apps which included 1Writer. I liked all 5 but 1Writer stood heads and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. I like it so much I'll be sending the balance of that gift card as a tip right after I submit this review..Version: 2.9.6

One app to rule them allNot often you see a devloper who sticks with his app and upgrades it. This app keeps getting better. It has replaced my all notes app (simple formatting). UI is great and app never crashes and its fast! Developer is also very nice and helpful. Check out his other app for to-dos :) I love this app. It is quick, very stable, fast and reliable sync with Dropbox and iCloud. It has beatuful writing options and markdown editor. Tags are great! Again if you need a GREAT text and notes app get this one! I have tried over 50 of them and I'm glad I boght this one. Oh and I love the color! Dunno why but it makes me productive and concentrated! It has everything and it looks great! Works as my whole note database! ------------- This app continues ti be amazing!.Version: 3.2

Clean app, solid syncing, fast bug fixesReally appreciate the clean design and solid Dropbox sync implementation. Perfect solution for editing text files across iPhones and iPads! I e-mailed support when iPadOS 15 caused the Dropbox link to periodically vanish, and an updated version of the app was available to download less than 24 hours later. Haven't seen the bug since. Outstanding!.Version: 3.3.4

Excellent AppThis is one of the best apps I have ever used and guess what: I don’t have to pay for a stupid subscription! It’s a one time price - like an app should be. It’s better than Bear and you don’t have to pay for a subscription. And it does all I need it to do. It’s simple and works great. I use it for all of my note taking and writing. You can organize your notes with folders and with hashtags and that works great for me..Version: 2.9.5

Best Update Ever- inline images - edit text of multiple file types - download and preview any file type IOS supports Still elegant and simple. This is the best of all of the note-taking/text apps. The cognoscenti bloggers love Bear. But, Bear uses tags for organization. 1Writer uses folders on Dropbox. What this means is that 1Writer syncs with ANY text editor on Mac or PC. The other note/text apps require their own client on Mac or PC. 1Writer also offers an excellent URL Scheme so it is as programmable as any other editor among those that do not have an embedded scripting language, which is overkill unless you are looking for a time-waster instead of an app for getting work done. Having tried every credible text app, several of which are good, 1Writer is the best..Version: 2.9.2

This App Is AwesomeI don’t use many of the advanced features, but they’re there and they work great. I use this mostly as a writing app for 5-6 years now I think. It’s never failed me and never crashed. I’m a dream interpreter, so use it mostly for writing dreams I’m the middle of the night. I dream a lot sso this is really important for me. The night mode is vital to me so I don’t wake up my wife with a bright screen after I’ve woken up to record something. I love this app. I’ve used many others and this one is a keeper. And I think its usability is really strong considering all the advanced things it can do for more advanced needs. It’s still a really simple UI. So that makes it great..Version: 3.3.5

One of the best apps I've ever depended on1Writer does a great job. I sync a couple folders of plaintext notes between my iPhone and my Mac, and it does an awesome seamless job of this, while also supporting Notational Velocity-like fulltext search, as well as markdown preview, customizable JavaScript actions, a quick action keyboard bar... it really is spectacular. And has never charged for an update yet. Really spectacular work..Version: 3.0.1

My favorite writing appI’ve tried maybe a dozen writing apps on iOS, and this is the only one that’s stuck for me. It has exactly everything I need, and nothing I don’t. It doesn’t make ludicrous claims about how it’ll enhance your productivity, and it doesn’t force you into convoluted workflows. It’s just a good place to type, and focus, and you can see your word count. It’s perfect..Version: 3.0.2

AWESOMEHands down the best markdown iPad/iOS editor I’ve used... has everything I need and is extremely portable. Integrates extremely well with my workflow between zettlr on my pc + iCloud Drive... looks like this should integrate very well with zettlr or other markdown workflow on multiple platforms! Particularly needed the wiki style links + image support with relative paths... very pleased to be using 1Writer!.Version: 3.1

Great app with one problemThis is a good app. The problem is with the interface. The round, red buttons in the bottom corners (for new note and “...”) are very hard to touch. Usually I try to touch them multiple times before I succeed, and every time I fail the keyboard pops up and I have to make it go down again. Very annoying. I’ve never had this problem hitting buttons in other notes apps. I hope this can be fixed soon..Version: 3.0.4

Nextcloud powered notes syncing!I self host Nextcloud and I can use the WebDAV syncing to point at the notes folder on my server. And now I can use the same notes everywhere without relying on a proprietary syncing service or iCloud. This is what I’ve been looking for to pair with Typora for iOS/Mac/Linux notes taking bliss!.Version: 3.3.6

Exactly what I neededDropbox support is seamless. Editor is good looking. Supports [[wikilink]] syntax. The in-app browser is something I didn’t know I needed, but I’d sure useful. The only think preventing this from being the perfect app for me is the ability to change the search engine in the in-app browser from google to DuckDuckGo.Version: 3.1

Simple and Clean but BuggyIt’s okay — the Dropbox integration works way better than Editorial. JavaScript actions are a nice touch. But the paste bug is really obnoxious — after you paste with an external keyboard, you lose all cursor control. Plus, the down arrow (again, external keyboard) sometimes moves to the end of the document with no modifier pressed. I dunno...I just expect better from a paid program than some random external keyboard bugs..Version: 3.1.1

Nice Dropbox interfaceThe workflow for keeping files up to date on Dropbox is very nice. It automatically returns on launch to the last Dropbox folder I had open. It auto uploads the changed files and keeps in sync. Simole and effective, thanks!.Version: 3.3.5

Wonderful note-taking applicationI wanted a simple note-taking app that worked with plain-text and would sync with Dropbox and 1Writer is perfect! I love the extended keyboard, which places markdown formatting at your fingertips. File transclusion and wikilinks are a huge plus. Works great for syncing with other plaintext editors on my (non-Apple) devices, like vim and obsidian. Lots of handy little settings, like the ability to have a new note open on start and to pin notes to the notification center. No a YAML header support yet but that’s no big deal. Buy the app, it’s worth it!!!.Version: 3.3.4

Needs better file navigationThis seems really well done. Unfortunately it lacks the ability to navigate back when you’ve followed a link to another file. This makes it very difficult to work with a large set of notes. I hope the developer will consider implementing this!.Version: 3.1.1

Great appI've spend about $100 on various code/text editors. My search is over! I use exclusively for text. I do have a couple of suggestions: 1-add an option to go to beginning of file when it opens and 2-add an option to keep the left navigation menu always visible..Version: 3.0.1

Great app that I can’t continue usingI hate when people take stars off a review for an app not having a feature that fits there specific needs so I didn’t. 1Writer is perfect in every regard. But, I need an editor that syncs with Google drive and that isn’t 1Writer. Hopefully in the future it will be..Version: 3.1.1

Nice editor, but could use some support for org filesI really like the features and design of this app. One downside is my files are formatted in the org format. Full text search does not work with them, even though they are just text files. Some support for org rendering would also be nice..Version: 3.3.6

1Writer -Searching for a Markdown editor that could render various flavors of Markdown and output to both PDF and HTML, I installed 1Writer on my iPad. Cut to the chase— it’s not for me. 1Writer feels half-baked. UI is unintuitive. Various controls are scattered about the corners of the screen signaled by uninformative icons. But the most irritating deal breaker— search as I may I could not find a way to import items from the iPad notes application or any other source for that matter..Version: 2.9.4

Excellent Markdown editorThis app has many well-thought out options and an intuitive design. It works well not only as a markdown editor, but also has search functionality that is useful for managing many documents..Version: 3.3

Great Tool, Okay EditorI would recommend 1Writer for anyone trying to manage a Zettelkasten system on the go. It has a unique set of features (quick links, files app support, etc) that make it the best tool for that task. If the editor had syntax highlighting, and if word wrap respected indentation, this would be 5 stars in a heartbeat. (Maybe I’m missing a setting for word wrap somehere?).Version: 3.3.1

Highly Recommended!It’s basically perfect. I have it sync through Dropbox and use nvAlt on my laptop. I've tried probably 10 apps for note taking and for me this is the best. Keep up the great work. Only request is an option for draggable scroll bar..Version: 2.8.6

Superb appIf only this app was available for the Mac. What an excellent program. I use it as an iPad complement to NValt and it works beautifully. It’s also beautifully designed, provides all kinds of flexibility, works with TextExpander. Just a great program. Highly recommended, and I’ve tried almost all of them..Version: 2.8.3

Works with nvaltI have a big folder full of txt documents in my Dropbox. On Mac i use nvalt, on ios i use this.Version: 2.8

Almost perfectThere are millions of apps, yet this app manages to cut through the noise. It does a small set of things really well. It’s a tool. It’s a text editor for editing .txt and .md files, no matter if those files are stored locally or in the cloud (iCloud or Dropbox). No other app I know of stands as a contending tool without also adding unnecessary complexity. There is no requirement to make an account. You merely purchase the app, download it, and use it..Version: 3.3.6

Almost perfect for my use-caseWebDAV support is wonderful. Otherwise the edit/preview behaviour and UX is great. I only wish there was a third, presenter view like Pages’ presentation mode (adjustable font size) for speaking notes..Version: 3.3.6

Own your data!Over the years, I have tried or used almost all the note apps in the store. There are many good ones using proprietary formats and in-house storage, but now I find it best to own my data. That means using a universal format (Markdown) that can be opened by other apps, and having the ability to decide where I store my notes (personal cloud, locally or other). There are very few polished apps that fulfill these criteria, and 1Writer is the best that I have found. One-time payment is also a big plus compared the the subscription model from competing apps. In short, strongly recommended! Please keep up the development for years to come….Version: 3.3.5

1writer is the best markdown editor on iOSI highly recommend this app. 1writer is a great markdown editor..Version: 3.3.1

Lovely appI must have tried more than 30 text editors - especially searching for markdown editors with preview customization. This one takes the cake. Excellent customizations hidden in the settings. One thing missing is the content SEARCH feature. Hope this would be added. Also, one of the few apps that can launch Resilio Sync files directly from the Finder window. Very clean and yet full of essential functions. Five stars!.Version: 3.3.1

Excellent and very customizable1Writer can accommodate a multitude of workflows. I use it for editing very long files since it retains cursor and scroll position across sessions. It supports MultiMarkdown which is incredibly flexible. It uses its own Dropbox sync service, so you can actually add and browse Dropbox folders from its sidebar, unlike other apps which only let you add individual Dropbox files via the iOS Files picker..Version: 3.1.1

Fantastic app!Great text editor! Good features and well priced for what it gives you. Thank you..Version: 3.1.1

So smoothReally enjoying using this app, works seamlessly with Dropbox..Version: 3.1

Where did Preview go?My previews are blank since the latest update. What gives? Previously, this app worked well as an on-te-go method of inputting content into my desktop Obsidian Vault saved on Dropbox. I’m new to Markdown so I’m a bit hit and miss on some of the formatting. I like to see previews as I work to make sure I’m doing it correctly. Now, when I hit the preview button, I’m greeted by a blank page. The text is still there in edit mode and I can open the documents in Obsidian and preview/work on them there but it’s a bit of a bummer. Hope a fix is coming shortly..Version: 3.1.1

Markdown for all1Writer is a great Markdown application, not only is it simple to use for those who want a powerful, yet simple tool; but if you know javascript, you can extend it and customize aspects of how it works into a truly powerful editor for your most challenging needs. It is more powerful then Byword (which I own and use regularly); but where Byword has become less used over time, 1Writer has become my default writing app on my iPad and iPhone. I would love a Mac version; but until that comes, I can use MacDown or Byword there. The price and features are solid, the library of available add-ons is nice and useful and as noted, if you know javascript, you can create your own. Simply put, a great tool for anyone writing using Markdown..Version: 3.0.4

Excellent markdown appFast and easy to use. Include file transclusion which few editors do..Version: 3.0.4

Super for Cognitive ProductivityI use this on iOS to edit files it creates and to edit files I previously created on macOS with nvUltra (precursor was nvALT). I described some of my uses of 1Writer in my “Cognitive Productivity with macOS” book. Eg i use it for my “cognitive task lists”. This is the app I use the most for writing and dictating notes on iPhone. Love it..Version: 3.0.2

Great app, now with link support!Check this out.Version: 2.9.2

Making progressGood idea, kind of like Editorial, but nowhere near the polish of the top writing apps. Navigation is not intuitive. Some of the customizations are pretty good, but overall just not fun to use. The developer really needs to work on the UI and UX. For example, swiping from the right gives you the (unnecessary) web browser, not preview as you’d expect. To switch between edit and preview, you have to tap a link at the upper-right. Update: Developer is making updates. Works more like iA Writer now. Still a bit clunky, but I'm trying to use it because it allows you to create custom actions with JavaScript. Really, that and the customizable keyboard are the best features..Version: 2.9.1

Best iOS text editorI've tried a good number of editors for iOS and this is by far the best I've found. Fast, full-featured and scriptable..Version: 2.0.1

Good idea, 1 big issueOne big issue I have with the app is that the tags section is cluttered with items that aren't meant to be tags. There's no way to invalidate tags. As far as I'm concerned #banana shouldn't register as a tag if it's inside code blocks, but it still would..Version: 2.8.6

Better than bywordGreat app, simple and featureful..Version: 1.3

Not the most intuitive setup ...To get auto-syncing working, but once setup appears ok (haven't tested under subway conditions). Other than that appears to be a good md editor. Time will tell (will edit review accordingly)..Version: 2.2.2

Works poorly offlineIn my experience, this is overall the best iPhone notes app. However, I get constant pop-ups when using it on the subway telling me that Dropbox can’t be reached, note failed to sync, etc. This is more than an annoyance, and the app might be best avoided by anyone who plans to access their notes offline more than occasionally..Version: 2.2.2

Best of Markdown CropThe best iOS Markdown editor. I'm currently using 1Writer on iOS and Byword on OS X. If the developer's 1Writer for Mac is as good as his/her iOS version, he/she will take a lot of marketshare away from today's most popular apps..Version: 2.0

Pleasantly surprisedI think this app is by far better than byword and ia writer. It is incredibly underrated. I'm surprised this app isn't more popular than it is now. To the developers: please keep up your work hard work and commitment to make this app superior than the rest..Version: 2.0

Great app for taking notes in markdownThe latest update brought a bunch of great features which make this a great app. The ability to disable inline preview is great and the new full screen mode is much better. I like this app and it preforms better than the other minimal text editors I use on my iPad 3. Thanks.Version: 1.3

Great start to a great appLove the nice clean UI. Everything seems intuitive and well thought through. It's nice to have Dropbox integration, it's going to make blogging with this app great. My only request would be to support other plain text document types. I would love to be able to write some HTML as well. Hopefully we will see this in a future update..Version: 1.3.1
