Ratings and Reviews
Simple, but confusing navigation
Back in the WriteRoom days, using this app was obvious, but lately under the Writemator banner, it's confusing. I never know how to get back to the icon-based file listing. I always end up back at the vertical file listing, with a separate older copy of files. Re-opening the app presents the icons again. Panic attacks when my latest work is hard to find.
Not impressed.
Not what I expected.
Doesn’t work for editing dropbox files in single dir
I wanted to use the app to edit .txt files in one single Dropbox directory, while keeping a local "cache" for offline use and eventually sync files. Simple use case.
Even though I wanted to sync one single folder, it requested access to all my dropbox files, which makes me unease.
I dont see any of the dropbox files, even after clicking to sync.
The main UI of the app is the iOS files UI. It shows only "Recents" and "Browse". "Browse" doesn't show any dropbox files unless I go to the Files app and include Dropbox in the Files, which is exactly not what I want and the sole reason I got the app: to sync to Dropbox directly without using Files app. If I wanted to edit the files using Files native UI, there is a free "txt" app that does it.
Other than that, some bugs: Files open and close immediately, files open an app freezes, app crashes when going back from dropbox setup or when opening some files. Sometimes files open with the text "UIDocumentDataToRead" instead of the contents of the file. So it seems that based on the contents of the files, the app can't handle them well.
Unfortunately I can't use the app for what I intended so I am requesting a refund.
