Inkdrop - Markdown Notes 4+

It is really wonderful to have an app that has a native implementation across multiples OSes and devices. I can move freely from iOS to either of my macOS apps and be assured that all of my notes are in sync. Knowing that my notes are encrypted while in the cloud gives me a sense of security.

In the modern Apple OS ecosystem it is nice to have an app that gives you the control over your content. You can download all of your documents as simple markdown files.

There are definitely some spots in the app that could benefit from a little polish - but overall this app works well and suits my needs.

Inkdrop could be a contender for one of the better laid out pure Markdown editors. There’s just a couple of issues that are plaguing the iOS and iPadOS experience:

For starters, the back button doesn’t work. The back gesture does, but the button itself does not. This was a pretty weird thing to have happen on my first experience with the app.

In general, I feel like the app here could benefit from reducing some of the visual noise. There is a lot going on on. Here are some oddities I’ll note:

- preferences being locked behind that drop down arrow is odd. Compared to every other app, this is the first I’ve seen do this

- 3 omnipresent buttons on the editing page.
-the info button on the editing page are all things that could be consolidated to a more tidily laid out page.
-having to type font name is VERY weird. I don’t even know what fonts are available on iOS.

It feels as though this was a desktop app that was ported 1:1 to mobile/tablet, rather than mobile first. I think the editing experience is first class, it just needs a little love.
