1Writer - Markdown Text Editor App Reviews

Its nvALT for iOS!

This app has many well-thought out options and an intuitive design. It works well not only as a markdown editor, but also has search functionality that is useful for managing many documents.

Really solid app. No complaints at all. Syncs with Dropbox without a problem.

I bought all the other recommended text editors for the iPhone (Byword, iAWriter, etc). 1Writer has trumped them all and I dont even remember to use all the advanced features most of the time. It syncs fast, Ive never had an issue with it and the developer is friendly and quick to reply to support requests. I think I like it most for the ease of use, the night mode for typing, and the simple text display. The productivity features are a big bonus as is the customizable toolbar. But even without them Id still be a fan.

I originally gave this one star because it doesnt find/replace text built-in the app; however, after doing some digging, it turns out you can install it by going to the apps official website on the device you have the app installed and looking for the "action directory," then installing it from there. In fact, Im actually extremely hype for this action directory of theirs at the moment, as it looks like you can create/install custom scripts into the app (they also have a library of scripts of their own on the site). Freaking rad. That said, this looks to be the only Markdown editor available for the iPad Pro, including full multitasking support. It also has inline Markdown preview (awesome) and, unlike some other editors we wont mention, handles this feature with large, 700k+ character documents just fine. Still, it would be nice to have find/replace, built in the app instead of having to invoke the scripts menu every time you want to quickly find "next" or "previous."

This editor is great. Easy to use and extensible. I only wish it had Seafile as a service.

This app has the chance to be a major contender in the iOS writing space, but in my usage, Ive found Dropbox sync to be really spotty. Ive never lost data, but 1Writer consistently creates conflict documents, which makes me worry about versioning and document integrity. Otherwise, this is a really well-made app, and the experience of actual writing has been top notch. Fix the sync, and Ill be back.

This text writing app will change your life. I love its night mode and extended keyboard. Very forward thinking. This app will increase your productivity exponentially! More app developers would do well to take a few lessons from 1Writer because this app takes every other app to school.

This app is the perfect companion to a Dropbox-synced plain text markdown workflow. I use this along with Drafts and am extremely happy with the combination.

I purchased *every* single editor in the App Store, as of 4/18/16. I use this one. It handles markdown much better than the rest.
