Ratings and Reviews
My first Mardown app
Byword was my first Mardown app. I have used it for several years, mainly for short reports and notes that do not require a full word processor. It has a minimalist interface and is an efficient and enjoyable app to use. I used it with Dropbox in the past, but now use it with iCloud so do not have the sync problems some reviewers report.
I like Byword, but it has a couple of shortcomings for my needs. Firstly, it no longer seems to export to Evernote. Secondly, I tend to forget the more obscure Markdown syntax and Byword only offers a few, standard items on its menu.
I still use Byword and I would be sorry to move away from it, but I am starting to look at alternatives.
Fits between a Note Editor and a full blown Word Processor
Very nice clean interface, sufficient Markdown support for my needs, and a Mac version available too. I synch my files using iCloud which seems to work without a problem. Never tried it with Dropbox so can’t comment.
Dropbox sync loses changes if items are moved or renamed on another device
I’ve been using Byword on iOS for some time to edit text files which I sync with other devices over Dropbox.
Everything works fine as long as you don’t move or rename your files or folders. If you do, it silently stops syncing without notifying you. By the time you realize, there are lots of un-synced changes - and there’s no way to list them, so you don’t know what data hasn’t synced. This means your changes are effectively lost.
I contacted the developer about Dropbox sync issues and they didn’t bother to reply. Therefore I’ll need to look for another app which supports Dropbox text file editing and works.
