1Writer - Markdown Text Editor Reviews

Perfection

mdwittenberg

Just the right amount of features while still being spry. Flawless syncing. Great “default file name” builder. Fast. Humble feature request: More options in Workflows. eg “New Document in X” folder.

Buggy, bad UX, and no support

Don’t expect to get an answer from support. My iCloud folder is gone and can’t add it back. OneDrive doesn’t work. Lots of bugs and no answer to support tickets. Don’t waste your money.

Hands down the best markdown iPad/iOS editor I’ve used... has everything I need and is extremely portable. Integrates extremely well with my workflow between zettlr on my pc + iCloud Drive... looks like this should integrate very well with zettlr or other markdown workflow on multiple platforms! Particularly needed the wiki style links + image support with relative paths... very pleased to be using 1Writer!

Great note taking app

I started using 1Writer with Dropbox years ago, which allowed me to take notes on both my iPad and iPhone and sync them to various other computers. Super helpful, and the direct editing of files on Dropbox was generally pretty robust (I don’t remember ever losing data when switching between devices on the same document, though obviously something I would try to be careful about!). Now that I’m migrating to a WebDAV server for syncing, 1Writer is still my go-to note taking app. I appreciate the in-line style preview for Markdown formatting, and while I had some crashing issues at first with the new server setup, it’s all sorted out now. Thanks for the great app.

Really appreciate this for Zettelkasten

Hope more features are added overtime (like creating custom shortcuts for each of the actions maybe!?) One of my main issues with this app is not being able to see the whole title of your notes. So please fix this first. Everyone who uses this for ZK notes complains about this and I imagine it would be a relatively easy fix. Would be nice also if you could open links in the side window like Bear which makes it easy to flip through the links in a note to quickly take a look at them. FWI in Bear the right window stays put when you click links and the left window opens the link. In 1Writer when you click a link you leave the page you’re on even if you have two windows open.

YAY :-)

Still the best ios text editor money can buy.

Nearly perfect!

I absolutely love 1Writer, and I’ve made it my default note-taking and blog-writing application. Goodbye Notes and goodbye Drafts! In fact, I even wrote my full review of this app (and others) in 1Writer before I added it to my blog! The only two things I could ask for are typewriter scrolling and more themes.

Great app for markdown editing

App is great, supports almost all markdown features, good editing experience, Dropbox sync works as expected. Hashtag and link navigation is also good, however it doesn’t support wiki links with alternative text (like [[Link|Text]] which I use extensively - hope it will be implemented soon.

Great app that I can’t continue using

I hate when people take stars off a review for an app not having a feature that fits there specific needs so I didn’t. 1Writer is perfect in every regard. But, I need an editor that syncs with Google drive and that isn’t 1Writer. Hopefully in the future it will be.

Needs better file navigation

This seems really well done. Unfortunately it lacks the ability to navigate back when you’ve followed a link to another file. This makes it very difficult to work with a large set of notes. I hope the developer will consider implementing this!
