Great app
It is fast & very easy to use. It has everything you need to make/write. It is also small as in size wise and it is smooth and it works very fast, with no negative issues. It has everything that I want in a word processor, but it is missing one modern cosmetic and that is Dark Mode.
I was prompted to write this review before I had really begun to use this editor since the last time I used it several months ago but want to get them off my back so I can use it without being molested to write a review. I know I’ve used it before because it was already installed but don’t remember how I felt about it. If it allows me to create standards-compliant rich text files on my iPad without an additional subscription fee, as I fully expect it to do, then it’s exactly what I need to support video content creation. I use it for storyboards and to store information about images — title, subject, where I got it or how I created it, etc. For these purposes, Word files would be overkill and hugely wasteful.
Used it to make notes for a speech. Great and easy to use.
I’m surprised that this app has so many high ratings. My first problem was that it was very difficult to navigate to my iCloud files to find the RTF file that I wanted to modify. I had to go through lots of different screens and endure some ads. When I finally located my document and opened it, I was able to edit it in a way that seemed very easy and natural. However, when I saved it, it only saved a local copy on my phone. Checking my iCloud files, the file had not been changed there. There is an option to move a document that you saved (not ideal) but it turns out you can’t move it anywhere except somewhere else in your phone’s local storage. Totally worthless for me.
You can share anything to multiple online services BUT Apparently you need to pay for a simple feature like saving a file to your documents folder.
Installed and did initial setup of preferences. Before making first data entry…a quick note text document… this app pops up asking for a rating, with no way to opt out, until later. How can people rate anything without experiencing it first? HELLO!?! Give us a chance to see if we like the product and if it actually fits our needs and works well for us be for asking for a rating and review…about a week would be long enough, I’d think.<br/>Because of the request for a rating & review before making first entry after setting preferences, I give a 2 star rating, out or 4. I never give top rating (5 or 10 star) for anything man-made…no one and nothing man-made rates top rating as they are never perfect.<br/>I may change rating and update my review after using app a while, if I don’t dump it due to unresolvable issues. Not expecting any, but that remains to be seen. Time will tell.
