Awesome writing App

inOrange on

This app is one of the best markdown writing apps. It’s also extremely useful in organising/searching my text based notes that I have on Dropbox. Well done.

Brilliant

snzj7848:8$!! on

One request however, is to allow options for specific inline preview options (ie. I would like code block text to be the same colour as normal text)

Best Way to Access nvALT

tjlefebvre on

I can easily sync with Dropbox and have had no issues with finding and making notes between devices. The setup was easy and the UI is clean and clear, making switching between nvALT and 1Writer seamless.

Recommend, but many needed improvements.

Xavier Vasco on

It’s more or less what I was looking for in a simple markdown text editor. App is very stable, runs fast, and syncs quickly. Improvements I would love to see: - Setting the default iCloud folder to one other than the 1Writer default location. - Saving images in an asset folder rather unorganised in the default folder. - Preview writing mode, this would help with working in markdown tables, etc.

I would like a refund please

Peteread on

Hi I was led to believe that this app had a ‘search and replace’ function for text editing. It does not How can I get a refund please, I have deleted the app. Update: The developer helped me to find the find and replace functiionality so I reinstated the app and updated the star rating.

Smooth experience

Gilmar Souza Jr on

I really like this app. Easy and enjoyable.

Crashes with Dropbox’s automation feature

lukenpr on

If you’re using Dropbox’s automation feature, and you make the mistake of creating a new file in this app, it will ruin the app. You will not be able to open the app again, because it will repeatedly crash.

Clean and easy to use

Corrie L W on

My one request would be that tags in externally stored files also show. Unless I’m missing something I can only see the tags that are stored in the app’s document folder.

Beware: No/minimal math typesetting support

a.nunYmous on

Didn’t realise that there is no MathJax/KaTeX support. For an md-based note taking app, that’s a serious shortcoming! Not recommended if you have many $$-fenced expressions as will not render.

I’m so glad this app exists

rupertius on

Frankly, there is nothing that does what 1Writer does, to the standard it does it. It’s a great text editor. I do wish that I could search notes in *all* my folders, not just in individual folders. And a bit more customisation would be good.
