There 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.
WebDAV 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.
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…
LaTeX not supported in markdown
I highly recommend this app. 1writer is a great markdown editor.
I 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!
1Writer 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.
Great text editor! Good features and well priced for what it gives you. Thank you.
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.
Really enjoying using this app, works seamlessly with Dropbox.
