Possibly the greatest writing app for iOS – Byword Review

I first tested Plaintext 2 which is quite amazing, it being especially free, and I still have it for when Byword is being unfriendly. But I quickly updated to Byword because I was doing heavy writing: philosophy on my iPhone! It is quite indeed the premium writer app linked to Dropbox (and other stuff), old default eye-friendly theme (color, font selection, etc.), undo button, little keyboard shortcuts, good printing, good conflict chooser, made for markdown although I mostly just use it for text. Problems are mostly with Dropbox syncing with the file folder thingy. I feel I get more conflicts than I should, and though easy to choose one, there is no text merger. That file folder menu is custom, non iOS, minimal and pretty like the application, but I feel needs just a little more bug updating. Another major problem is with large text files; Byword slows down considerably, making typing sluggish even on an iPhone 5, and this is why I need Plaintext as a backup. Or else, I have to cut my text files. Anyway, still my main writer app. Used with Voice Dream for reading .
