Writemator - Plain Text Editor

It's not perfect (but what is?) but the author/maintainer deserves enormous credit for picking up the wreckage of WriteRoom and keeping it alive.

On first sync with Dropbox, it somehow magically removed all the text in around 70 of my notes. Thanks heavens for Dropbox keeping old versions of notes, or I would be beyond furious. This isn’t a fault of Dropbox - I’ve been syncing notes between multiple apps on multiple platforms for years without issue. Not happy that I paid for in-app purchase, and a couple of weeks later it was removed. I’m not even going to go into detail on the other things wrong with this. Just make sure you have a backup of all notes before using Writemator (if you really feel the need to do so)

Nice so far, but Taskmator never worked (and 4.2 still doesn’t, but I’ve given up there) and now this product - even after paying for the extra `pro’ account after initially paying to get into the app - won’t even change its icon colour. Doesn’t inspire confidence in its more complex features.

Simple note taking app with link to Dropbox for backup and sync. You can’t move files from one folder to another though which is a problem for me.

I paid for this app to find that, oddly enough, you can’t hit return/enter to start a new line or paragraph. You have to hit shift+enter. I’ve been typing forever and using a ton of different apps and software over the years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen something like that. It slows down my typing speed TREMENDOUSLY and actually makes the app horrible to use. I wish I could get my money back!

Read the reviews first! as a longtime user of Writeroom on the Mac OS, I was pretty excited to start using this app. Paid $3, downloaded, and saw that it accessed my iCloud Drive seamlessly.. only to discover that the app crashes when trying to open a document. Please either refund my $2.99, or correct the issue. I’m using iOS 15.3.1.

I have been patiently waiting for about five? Years for amit to update this... I am very excited to try the new xcode rewrite. The old inherited code was very buggy and jesse had to abandon it but no shame there it happens! This is super duper and ill try and remember to come back and update my impressions.. (I was an original write room user in like 2009..) so.. :). Much respect to you Amit, this rocks!

Purchased the app to replace Writeroom. Linked to Dropbox, authorized. Hit “Sync Now” and the app crashes. Opened again, Settings > Dropbox > Sync Now. Crash. Seems unstable.

Only reason I was using the app was to edit longer texts that I could later paste as plain text in other apps. In the middle of changing through applications, this app simply lost my text. Certainly it was a problem the came up when it tried to sync with a server, but still unforgivable. Lost all the work that I was painfully editing on a phone. Not worth the risk. I’ll even ask for a refund, a first time for me.

1. Dropbox sync no longer works reliably. The app sometimes syncs, sometimes not. It can require using the “Sync All Now” menu item, which I don’t recall ever needing to use with the original WriteRoom. It just worked. 2. The use of the native Files UI is a jarring user experience and redundant with respect to WriteRoom’s original, uncluttered file listing. I would rather turn it off or hide it entirely, but this doesn’t seem to be an option.
