What users are saying

1. And the side-by-side display when writing, which I used to reference my notes, is completely gone! I hope this app gets fixed; it was the perfect experience for me and now it's almost unuseable.it is great as far as word count and how many paragraphs for an essay or short story contest, but I start writing my novel and put it away for the night only to find the words missing.

2. It would be awesome if that could be included in a future update! Love the app so muchI have been using this app for literal years and currently have ten different books logged within my library and the formatting of this app is perfect.

3. My only issue at this time is the search/replace function doesn't quite work right, but it's not something to really complain or rate lower about.Finally a decent writing app.

4. I uploaded a short story to Drive and then later couldn't open it because the file was 'corrupted.' Like I said, the app itself is good, but that's an issue.I like this app so far – it's intuitive to use despite all the features it has, and I really appreciate that it's easy to export to epub.

5. The only way I can rearrange items is to move them to a different category, then back to their original category, to put them at the bottom.I've enjoyed using this app for a story I'm writing.

6. Rather than locate words, it immediately finds the very first letter type into the search and selects the first time that letter appears.

7. These range from leaving out typed words, deleting copied text, misplacing pasted text, misplacing punctuation and newly typed words.

8. Highlighting text with the keyboard (to delete a sentence or copy/paste) doesn't always work.

9. Other than that, I have no complaints about this app.Been using this app to write my drafts for years.

10. All the places to add details, sections, color co-ordinate, rename things, shuffle placement, and the progress tracker have kept all my ideas in coherent setups so I can refer to them at any point.

11. The ability to organize has ensured that it has remained a favorite for some time, but a recent update lags the app when typing.
