Byword

Looks like in recent history Dropbox sync simply stopped working. Uninstalled, reinstalled, and re-authorized. Appears to work at first, but then any changes that get out of sync due to a changes from elsewhere get the app stuck now. Will need to change apps if not resolved.

The last version of this app was 3 years ago. Please fix the dropbox issue. Otherwise it's useless to me.

Used it for a while now. It works as expected for writing, but I ended up badly missing two simple features I am used to from other editors: Search. and Remember last position (when you re-open a file). There is a multi-file search, but you apparently can't search for instances of a word inside a document. For productivity I need both features, so I am looking for a replacement app. There are also occasional sync issues, where it reports a conflict that really should not be (both versions are identical, which would be a simple check for an app to do?)

Hasn’t been maintained for years. Flaky sync. Narrow font selection. Export to email goes to mail.app (ignores your “default”). Else, fast, stable, minimal writer’s app. (Fair for notes, too.)

I love this app and use it every day to access and search Dropbox synced notes from nvAlt. Unfortunately, Dropbox sync seems to be getting flaky, probably due to some Dropbox change that this developer hasn't updated. I hope the dev can do some maintenance updates.

App hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and is lacking some of the most essential features in newer iPadOS versions, like multiple windows, search, etc.

I've been using this app for years now and it's still on my home screen.

I bought Byword specifically to get a Markdown app with TextExpander support. TextExpander doesn’t work with it, I wrote to the dev and no answer. Then I found out the app hasn’t been updated in 2 years, and their Twitter account hasn’t responded to anyone in over 500 days. Evidently this is a dead app.

I have used this for years and have found it dies exactly what I need. I use it exclusively for note-taking and journaling. I used to use it on Dropbox, but once iCloud got reliable enough, I seamlessly switched over there. The markdown display is clear and instant. I fell over when the livetext integration in iOS 15 came through without a hiccup. Now it's more useful than ever.

I used to love this app, the winner of my weeklong no expense spared iOS markdown editor review. Now I get sync errors, issues with Grammarly, and the greatest sin of all, lost text. Any editor that runs the risk of erasing text without any means of recovery does not deserve more than one star, unless you’re feeling generous. Please fix this app ASAP
