4/5Pretty good, best feature is full Files support
Update: developers respond. My complaints, below, turn out to be due to a difference in philosophy with the devs. My four stars remain because I overall find this app less accessible than other similar ios markdown writers. But, I daily drive the app because it’s by far the best one I’ve found for my needs. Your mileage may vary, etc. — I chose this app because it can create and edit my files that are saved in icloud or google docs - just using Files integration. Perfect. Almost works like a “computer.” ;) The big weakness for me is the lack of a true WYSIWYG markdown experience, which my usual markdown app of choice, Obsidian, has. Other apps would let you type “- [ ] content” and then it would transform into just the checkbox when your cursor is somewhere else. Same with asterisks for bold, etc. My preference is to only see the formatting characters when my cursor is on the word. I’ve also noticed a bug where, for some reason, when I type the sentence “hand wash only and…” the word “only” renders as strikethrough in editor mode. It goes away when i switch to read-only, but again I’m used to other apps that negate the need to switch views all the time. I definitely recommend the app overall if anyone, like me, needs a solid markdown app that’s file-system agnostic.

5/5Best writing app on the market!
When I first downloaded iA writer for iOS, I was underwhelmed and quickly requested a refund. After I was unable to find a suitable replacement, I decided to give it another shot, but on my Mac. I quickly realized how many features were available that I wasn’t utilizing. I downloaded the iOS version again and found that it has the same capabilities. Afterwards, I decided to purchase and keep it. iA writer is an a beautiful writing experience. Quattro is one of the best fonts I have used, and the variable replace feature is brilliant. I got into a bad habit of using AI tools like ChatGPT to write for me and I would always get distracted by other apps such as Microsoft Word. iA writer has gotten me back to my roots and has made me a much better and authentic writer. This is one of the most valuable tools I have now, and I own it on iOS, Mac, and Windows. The iA team is committed to what they do, and they do an incredible job. I recommend following their blog! Thank you iA for this wonderful tool. I plan on remaining a customer for life!

5/5Perfect in every way
Still the best after over a decade. I’ve been using this as my main writing and note taking app since it first came out. I’ve used many other apps both by Apple and other popular ones and this one is somehow the most powerful yet simplest at the same time. Below I’m leaving a copy of my last review from a year or two ago. Solid writing app. You write. It helps you write better. Forces you to focus. Gives you freedom to organize documents how you like. It even lets you tag or just link to other documents to create your own personal wiki. I’ve tried other apps like Obsidian that have some of these features but there are just too many menus and options. This does everything you need and want in a way that keeps you from getting distracted. It’s like having an old fashioned typewriter that has the added benefit of helping you with style and organization. Writing and text is the most important way humans communicate and information architects understand this.

5/5It’s a great app but—
2024 edit: this app is great, I recommend it over the other writing apps tbh. 5/5 stars, 10/10 recommend The only feature I think it lacks is an app lock. Either passcode or face ID because without such a feature anyone could access your work & either modify or delete it or simply just invade your privacy. The developer did reach out to me & explain that putting an app lock on this app would be pointless because the plain text files are accessible through file managers, which makes perfect sense. They went on to say that they wouldn’t want to give anyone a false sense of security which is definitely the right thing to do. However, it boggles my mind that there are a plethora of other apps which are focused primarily on text (note taking apps) that can do way more & yet they are able to provide an app lock & iA Writer is not able. What is the reasoning behind that? What I gather is that iA Writer simply doesn’t care for your privacy regardless of their privacy statement.

5/5Definitely worth it!
I have had this app on my laptop since 2023, and while I didn’t use it for a bit, when I started really using it, this past December, it just totally took me by storm. I officially bought the iPhone app in mid-December, and I have to say, I love the seamless syncing to iCloud, and I love the auto-saving feature, as well. I have used this app every day for almost the last six months, and the only thing I regret, is not using it, sooner. Other than that, I regret nothing. Though, there are two changes I would like to be made, such as the “underline” font possibly being added, in addition to bold and italic, and having the option to turn off or turn on the automatic opening of a new document on the Mac app, instead of one always opening automatically by default, when launching it. These are just suggestions, and with or without them, the app is still perfect! Definitely worth the money, to the fullest extent! Update/edit: This is still one of my favorite apps of all time, and through the HTML feature that the app offers, I have figured out how to do the “underline” font, and I have even also figured out how to not have a new document open, when closing the app. Thank you devs for the solution. 🥰

# AI in Technicolor Whether you proofread with Apple Intelligence, or paste from Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT, the generated text now bursts onto the page with a colorful gradient. It looks as artificial as its origins. Think of it as a game: you got help, now make it your own. We also made it easy to tell different human contributors apart. They appear in subtle tones. And you can choose a preferred color for saved authors in settings. Reference material stays dimmed. Use this to see the changes you made to a downloaded contract, to track the progress since your first draft, or when you’re not sure how a text was created.
