1Writer - Markdown Text Editor Reviews

Great editor, BUT ...

Merooba

Great Markdown editor and I’m enjoying it a lot. BUT: There seems to be no way to choose a default iCloud folder other than just /Documents. I keep all my blog posts in a subfolder. With 1Writer, I must first create the blog post, then rename it (which I eventually figured out, since there’s no menu option to “Save” or “Save As ...”), then exit the editor and use the File Manager to move it manually to the blog posts folder. Then I can re-open it in 1Writer and finish writing it. It’s not enough to stop using the app, but it’s a nuisance.

Great Markdown Text Editor

I really enjoy using 1Writer, I use it almost daily to write my personal journal. It’s interface is easy to use and its edit/preview mode is a nice touch.

Brilliantly designed and eminently customizable.

I am delighted with 1Writer—thank you for creating and updating it!

Great app, but missing code highlighting

I love the app. It's fantastic, outside of a few hiccups getting started with iCloud storage. The most important missing feature, however, is the lack of code highlighting within markdown fences. Please implement highlight.js or similar!

Better than Bear

Bear is the new big player, but this app still feels and performs better for me.

Regret time wasted

Searching for a Markdown editor that could render various flavors of Markdown and output to both PDF and HTML, I installed 1Writer on my iPad. Cut to the chase— it’s not for me. 1Writer feels half-baked. UI is unintuitive. Various controls are scattered about the corners of the screen signaled by uninformative icons. But the most irritating deal breaker— search as I may I could not find a way to import items from the iPad notes application or any other source for that matter.

Exactly what I was looking for

...to quickly pull up and edit markdown documents I have stored on my mac/iCloud filesystem. 1Writer supports open in place and you can even tap markdown checkboxes to quickly fill in an "x" both in edit mode and preview mode. Excellent markdown editor to quickly change things on the go if your main writing station is your mac.

Fantastic. Extensible.

Great app. Simple to get started. Extensible enough via JavaScript for pro custom uses.

Excellent App

This is one of the best apps I have ever used and guess what: I don’t have to pay for a stupid subscription! It’s a one time price - like an app should be. It’s better than Bear and you don’t have to pay for a subscription. And it does all I need it to do. It’s simple and works great. I use it for all of my note taking and writing. You can organize your notes with folders and with hashtags and that works great for me.

Super useful efficient app

This app is perfect for my use case: managing notes as markdown files that sync with Dropbox. Excellent at what it does. Highly recommend.
