IWriter for Negative User Reviews

✓ Keyboard not working properly since upgradePlease fix keyboard.RayFloroVersion: 3.0.1

✓ WhyI can’t use this software to open any documents on my iPad. Why?.ErmwhoknowsVersion: 5.2

✓ Great app. Bring back DropboxAbsolutely my favorite note taking app... Until Dropbox sync was removed..Mr T 12345Version: 2.0

✓ New update introduced bugs.First off, great app. Love the simplicity. Latest update unfortunately introduced a few bugs for me: deleting local documents does not get rid of them, only wipes the text from the document. Also, I've had a few instances of documents wiping themselves out of nowhere! Not cool. Hope these get fixed soon!.SkcivaVersion: 3.2

✓ Another problem ...Since the 15 Aug 2013 "update," iPad has been trying to install, to no avail ... Cannot locate app to delete/reinstall .. What next, team?.ChamagirlVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Nice and simple but no Dropbox syncNot much to say, a compact and minimalist text editor. I praise the colour schemes but syncing with Dropbox fails on me, which is a bummer. Maybe a bug I hope dev notices this.Marqsman9Version: 5.2

✓ Very Nice, Except....The latest update (November 2012) has dropped full Dropbox synching. A curious omission that feels like a step backward. Now you have to copy a file and then later, upload it again. This is precisely the same clunky method one uses in Pages. If iWriter had added iCloud support, it may not be such a big deal. But there is no reason given (technical?) and it pulls the experience down..Elian GonzalesVersion: 1.8

✓ Unable to highlightI guess this app is fine, but for editing, I need to be able to highlight, so it isn't any good for me..PoetLVersion: 3.3

✓ Not what I expected from a paid app.I've been searching for an app where I can edit my documents. Here are the pros: - Ability to change fonts - Dropbox integration - hasn't crashed yet (in three days) Here are the cons - Typing lag. This is a huge deal and has caused me to stop using the app and moving on to a free alternative. I can type an entire sentence without anything showing up on the screen. If I wait 5- 10 seconds later, what I typed will finally appear onscreen. - Can't bulk edit line spacing (though adjusting the font can somewhat take care of this). - No Bold, Italic, underline, strike through or highlight option. Again, I found these in a free editing app..ZarpasoVersion: 1.4

✓ Cross platform support lackingWhen is Latex/Mermaid support coming to iOS?.SbetkoVersion: 4.2

✓ Can’t find character countI bought this app to replace my very old original version because that one was freezing up. I saw, on some of the examples above, that it the app shows word AND character count but I cannot find the character count and I cannot find any settings. I need the character count and it was my favorite thing about the original program..UkiacatVersion: 4.0

✓ Very slowAfter editing for a few minutes the editor becomes extremely slow. You can't type, you can't move the cursor, your hand starts cramping, you start tapping the screen harder, now and then stuff happens, probably queued event from the frantic poking, sliding, double tapping, pressing every single button on the keyboard. I turned of auto sync, but it had no effect. Perhaps it's sad and on strike because I am using the largest font, am in night mode and disabled the real estate hogging markup toolbar. All I want is a decent text editor that allows me to change font face and font size and can format HTML from markdown..BracketzVersion: 2.1

✓ For Markdown, immediately uselessIWriter claims to have markdown support, but disallows you from opening *.md files from external sources. Try iA Writer instead..SoupVRVersion: 3.7

✓ I wish it had real Dropbox syncing...You can download files from Dropbox and copy files to Dropbox, but there's no automatic Dropbox syncing. If I knew that, I wouldn't have bought this app. I like the ability to edit the same text files from my iPhone and PC, so the iCloud syncing is useless to me. It's too bad, I really wanted to like this app because this app is gorgeous..L.R. HaleVersion: 2.2.1

✓ My faultI cant believe among hundreds of text editors for free i found a paid one without spelling check function..Gib641Version: 2.0.1

✓ No Dropbox syncWriting in the app is good and clear. However, I mistakenly purchased the app expecting it to have full Dropbox integration which is not the case. In order to keep your documents in order you have to import and then export back to Dropbox which is nuisance. The support was quick to respond to my reclamation though so it doesn't deserve a mere 1-star rating..Rauno M.Version: 2.3
