Word count disappeared
RuralKat
This app served me well for years. But the word count disappeared from the bottom, after I updated my iPhone and iPad this past week. I write a column, am constrained to 650-700 words per piece, and most of my ideas and first drafts were captured in parking lots or while standing at the counter, while using and relying on Byword. Please, will you bring back the word count at the bottom?
Solid app for minimalists

The Dropbox sync process is mostly seamless despite a few occasional hiccups. My one issue is that there is no spell check or autocorrection which makes for a bad writing experience.
Expensive sneaky useless app

Charges me six bucks for nothing! Definitely didn’t know I was agreeing to that. I’ll stick to a dollar notebook it has about the same value
The best markdown tool available
Matthew Temple @deadnovelist
Most of the features I want: the ability to write book-length texts in one document (others fail at about 10,000 words per document). Reasonable markdown preview. Save across the cloud. Low price. Cool. ..currently, the iOS version of this app is crashing when I open files between 50k and 400k words. The desktop app doesn't crash. I can use a combination of apps but I'd love to use just one.
Decent markdown and text editor

Can we support edit .org files in byword too? Right now it only support .md and .txt files.
Can’t download
What thu...?
At first I thought I couldn’t download because I was not on the latest iOS, but I fixed that and it still won’t download. Any help?
My main writing tool

Fast, stable, feature-rich for markdown. Distraction-free. Makes writing easy. All you do is sit staring at a blank screen until drops of blood form on your forehead. Heck, it’s even better than notes.app in lots of ways. Sometimes I wish I could have a font that’s not there, like Charter or Gentium. Sometimes I wish I could have Byword automatically title the file from the title I place on the first line. But I can get by without these. Great app.
Very solid and Dropbox sync ?

I’ve used this app occasionally for years it seems. However, I’ve never really committed to it. After waiting for Bear to release a web version for over a year I’ve finally decided to export my notes to Dropbox which allows me to use Typora on Linux. Byword is awesome. The Dropbox sync is seamless. I enabled Airplane mode and made some changes that synced up immediately after I went back online. I love that I can choose a single Dropbox folder to sync. The one feature I’d love to see is concealed markup and embedded previews like with Typora on desktop. If I focus on an image then I should see source code. If I’m focused elsewhere I should see the image.
