Simple, Powerful, Beautiful.

This is one of the best Text Editors I’ve tried on the App Store—and I feel like I’ve tried and bought all of them. What makes iWriter stand out is that it maintains the straightforwardness and simplicity of a text editor, while providing a rich set of features and having a design that makes the whole experience delightful. The app uses the Files app as its starting state, which means you can quickly create a text file anywhere you want or easily open any text file you wish to edit. The app is thoughtful in its UI; everything seems polished and considered. All the features are intuitively placed and you’ll never feel lost or confused. Speaking of features, while iWriter feels simple, it has a plethora of features under the hood to make it an excellent pro text editor: inline Markdown, Typewriter mode, ability to use a custom font, text width and line height options, Dark Mode support, search and replace, Markdown preview, countless export/sharing formats, keyboard shortcuts, Split View, document navigation via headers, excellent themes, text correction switches, line numbering option, etc...A great text editor should be simple, powerful, and beautiful. iWriter is a great text editor.

Had a hard time finding features

I was initially so upset about it not having word count as advertised that I was going to get a refund, but apparently if you enable the “autocorrect” option it shows if you tap an icon over your keyboard. I don’t know why that option is called “autocorrect,” since it doesn’t do what autocorrect does (edit your text without your approval if it thinks you made a typo) but is more like an edit bar with more advanced options.It’s usable now, but I wish the word count could be set to always visible instead of having to press a button for it each time, and having other distracting stats always there with it.Support was fast and responsive though! And it’s probably the best affordable writing app on the app store, which says more about the other apps than it does about this one, but if you’re looking for a decent app you can write in for a reasonable price, this is probably it.

Excellent Markdown app

It fully supports MultiMarkdown 6. It exports to PDF, Word, an image, HTML, and rich/plain text. It works seamlessly with the Files app. I haven’t used many other Markdown apps, but I don’t really see how they can get better than this.I use it for journaling and math notes. MathJax has to be enabled in settings, and after that, math notation works great.The only bug I’ve seen is an occasional rendering bug in both preview and editing mode where the text doesn’t fill the screen quite right. However, rotating the screen fixes it instantly, and it doesn’t seem to happen very often in the first place. Overall I’m very satisfied— it works better for my purposes than I expected.

Best straightforward text editing app

I've tried dozens and this one is trusty and reliable. I can edit long documents without having to worry about corruption or weird undos. Some other major players seem to have these issues still when it comes to long documents. Also the interface and formatting all work simply and beautifully. Just enough options without being excessive. Thanks for the great app!

- Issues with incorrect text insets when the software keyboard is visible are resolved. - Backgrounds will be rendered accurately during the export process. - Mermaid updated(11.12). If you like iWriter Pro, please rate it in the App Store every time the update goes live. Your ratings and great reviews help us a lot!
