At a third of the price of some competitor apps. iWriter pro offers a feature rich, distraction free writing experience that empowers you to put “pen to paper.”Pros: • Table of contents: Quickly jump to any header in the document. Great for composing long form writing within a single document. • Themes & Customization: With a number of themes centred around lighting conditions (time of day or night) and the ability to use any installed font. It’s easy to create a space that feels comfortable to work in.• Typewriter Mode: Helps you stay focused as you write. • No Subscriptions / Add-ons: Need I say more?Meh: • File organization mirrors the ‘files’ app. This isn’t inherently bad due to it’s familiarity and being lightweight. It however feels as if you’ve been redirect to that app rather than remaining within iWriter Pro (Perhaps retaining the selected theme in these menus would help bridge that gap?) • iCloud Support: Files are saved to and accessible via multiple devices. This is superior to local only file management but does require that the users has sufficient available iCloud storage for correct operation. I haven’t experienced any issues with files not syncing or being deleted as mentioned by other reviewers.Cons: • No syntax highlihting: The ability to distinquish (nouns, pronouns, adjectives .etc) within your document can help you become a better writer. Unfortunately this feature doesn’t exist at the time (iA Writer accomplishes this feat well, mind you at a premium cost) • Publishing Capabilities: Doesn’t support direct publishing to popular platforms such as Wordpress, Medium, or Ghost.• Digital Keyboard Markdown Menu: Generally you should be using a peripheral keyboard, however on the go you may want to jot down some words quickly. In this instance I noticed the markdown menus (top right if the keyboard) have a delayed response before the buttons can be used. It’s just long enough that you may need to press twice which, however minor, still adds friction to usability. iWriter Pro is a completely capable and comfortable platform to write in. Doesn’t over burden you with options but gives you enough to feel in control of the environment. While light on some nice to have features for a professional workflow, iWriter Pro is attractively priced and won’t feel like a compromise for most users.

For the price it is an especially great app. I haven't had too many issues, but there were a few areas where it seems it could be a little polished.1. Lists: indenting lists gets a little weird and took some getting used to. Not sure if it's cause I'm a MarkDown newbie (haven't tried it in many other MD software), but it didn't seem very smooth to get indented lists to work.2. Had to learn through a little searching that you can't rename documents unless they stay in the iWriter folder on iCloud. Not the worst, but ended up having to decide whether I move all of the documents back, or keep them where they are.3. Exporting to HTML and Copying HTML are two different things. Important to know that when you're trying to throw it onto a webpage.Otherwise, aesthetics are nice. Preview option working with MMD is one of the biggest reasons I bought it. If you're looking for really good MMD preview without paying $40, this is what you want.
