Junk

Conceptually it was a reasonable idea.

Implementation was a disaster.

This app should *never be permitted on the Apple App Store*.

It is junk.

Obviously it was never beta-tested prior to release.

Let’s start with a basic, the editor.

Everywhere, *any editor* will automatically capitalise the first letter of a new sentence when a hard <return> is made, except this one.

Everywhere, *any editor* is smart enough to know how to form conjunctions, except this one.

Everywhere, *any editor* places the cursor at the end of the final character, except this one.

I could go further, but you get the idea.

The ads.

God almighty what a disaster.

We get that you want to push your ‘ad free’ product, but when the basic product is such a failure one is left to wonder why the user is constantly bombarded with ads to pay for anything.

*Nowhere* in the product description in the App Store is there any mention of ads, or payments.

The ads for ‘add free’ just jump out of nowhere at a rate that exceeds the time to try and type a simple ‘Hello world’ sentence.

Further, there are those full-screen ads which have a handy ‘Close’ button, which *doesn’t do anything*. Nada.

The user is forced to sit through the ad, and to be fair *some* have a tiny little ‘x’ in the corner which will close the offending ad, but then there are the ads from hell without that little ‘x’, and when the ad finally finishes the last frame of the ad just sits there on the screen with *no way to remove it*, because the Close button does nothing.

Fortunately my ‘Hello World’ test wasn’t important because the *only* way to remove the frozen ad is to close the app and start again.

It quickly starts feeling like an exercise in self-flagellation, but missing the reason for the exercise.

TL/DR: It’s junk, with ads that don’t get mentioned prior to installation. I have seldom seen such junk software, anywhere (and I’ve been in the game since the early 1990’s)
