很简单的app，和txt软件差不多，感觉对不起这个价格

很简单的app，和txt软件差不多。建议可以增加中文ai排版或者自动排版，没有中文公文的字体，希望可以加入ai功能或者可以加入ai接口。

Who needs word?

This is a quick app that takes care of a lot of things for you and it even saves for you. I use it instead of word. I’ve even used it to write short stories.

The iA writer is very useful, easy to use and my material is still there when I come back to read it. Thank you for a great writing program!

Excellent quality and Outstanding Support

I have been searching for a long time for an editor that works well with voiceover and voice control. Finding a simple text editor shouldn't be this hard. I have considered iA Writer several times over the years but the price discouraged me from tying it. I really wish I had taken a chance years ago when it was much cheaper. However, I don't regret the purchase at its current price point. I'm also impressed with how quickly I got answers from support before I made the purchase. There are several other apps that haven't responded to my requests at all. Even though this editor is designed for markdown, I have had no trouble using it for LaTeX and other plain text file types. Now I can go back to concentrating on my notes and not fighting with the core tools of iOS.

Bring the new editor this one is done

It started back there when they presented well designed, but half baked feature wiki links. That suffers from the absence of back and sections linking. It continues with the are annoying bug glitching editing behavior while typing on iPad with keyboard. I mean they’ve failed the critical bug in the main feature of the app. Then it was the revolutionary md hash markup whatever feature. Like are you kidding me?! A hash function as a major feature? And now they presented the shortcut that just throws a user into a god forbidden chatgpt web page, leaving them to copy paste and then markup whatever it would print out useful manually, rather than use their own so hyped hash markup appendix whatever feature to being integrated through, that, well, would be consistent and reasonable to do, like to minimize the volume of user’s redundant moves even a bit. But nope sir, it isn’t there. The more it goes the more I believe that the team is suffering from the lack of development skills (no offense), while having enough of such in both product design and branding. I dunno why, but whatever, I’m tired of this. Bring the new editor this one is done.

Very disappointed.

After years of using this app with no problems, it suddenly couldn’t find or open any file remote or local. Regret to say support was less than helpful, enough so that I’m giving up on what was a dependable tool I used every day. I’m really hoping Apple Notes has caught up. UPDATE their support folks did reach out mostly to see it was an iOS issue and asked more questions. I ended up fixing it myself by reopening files through my Mac which fixed the issue on the iOS side. Not clear if it was the app or iOS but I came up with the solution myself.

Still the best, simplest writing app.

Nothing is as bare-bones and elegant, yet still with enough features to make your workflow smooth.

Make info/directory column collapsible/invisible

It makes print jobs into a long narrow joke!

Really nice!

Very nice and focused app. Very easy and pleasant for phone typing.

This new fixation with GPT is a bummer

I love iA Writer on all my devices. But this new fixation with GPT is exhausting and seems to go against then original idea behind the app, which was to do one thing and to do it well. I wish there were a setting that allowed me to never see any mention of “AI”, GPT, or whatever the new thing will be next week, ever again.
