Not impressed.
Not what I expected.Bob246844
Really? Can’t Use Enter/Return Key?
I paid for this app to find that, oddly enough, you can’t hit return/enter to start a new line or paragraph. You have to hit shift+enter. I’ve been typing forever and using a ton of different apps and software over the years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen something like that. It slows down my typing speed TREMENDOUSLY and actually makes the app horrible to use. I wish I could get my money back!Show lessZiggymay
Useless
Read the reviews first!
as a longtime user of Writeroom on the Mac OS, I was pretty excited to start using this app. Paid $3, downloaded, and saw that it accessed my iCloud Drive seamlessly.. only to discover that the app crashes when trying to open a document.
Please either refund my $2.99, or correct the issue.
I’m using iOS 15.3.1.Show lesspoopboob#2
I'm pleased this still exists
It's not perfect (but what is?) but the author/maintainer deserves enormous credit for picking up the wreckage of WriteRoom and keeping it alive.447980981475
Dude!
I have been patiently waiting for about five? Years for amit to update this...
I am very excited to try the new xcode rewrite.
The old inherited code was very buggy and jesse had to abandon it but no shame there it happens!
This is super duper and ill try and remember to come back and update my impressions..
(I was an original write room user in like 2009..) so.. :).
Much respect to you Amit, this rocks!Show lessxyz_
Doesn’t work for editing dropbox files in single dir
I wanted to use the app to edit .txt files in one single Dropbox directory, while keeping a local "cache" for offline use and eventually sync files. Simple use case.
Even though I wanted to sync one single folder, it requested access to all my dropbox files, which makes me unease.
I dont see any of the dropbox files, even after clicking to sync.
The main UI of the app is the iOS files UI. It shows only "Recents" and "Browse". "Browse" doesn't show any dropbox files unless I go to the Files app and include Dropbox in the Files, which is exactly not what I want and the sole reason I got the app: to sync to Dropbox directly without using Files app. If I wanted to edit the files using Files native UI, there is a free "txt" app that does it.
Other than that, some bugs: Files open and close immediately, files open an app freezes, app crashes when going back from dropbox setup or when opening some files. Sometimes files open with the text "UIDocumentDataToRead" instead of the contents of the file. So it seems that based on the contents of the files, the app can't handle them well.
Unfortunately I can't use the app for what I intended so I am requesting a refund.Show lessSchmoo_22
Unacceptable bugs with multitasking
Switching apps caused me to lose work in this app. I am working away, switch to another app and come back to an older version of my document!
Even if my document is ok, when I swap back it ignores my keyboard entry. I can use the onscreen suggestions, but no response from typing. Leaving the app and coming back doesn’t help, but it does respond to touch. Keyboard works fine in the other apps I am switching to.
Not sure how to contact developer for support. There is plenty to love about this app, but it needs more work.Show lessRobert Helewka
Simple and easy
Nice app. Seems to be but with sorting as cannot sort Dropbox folder with latest modified files firstmchaelo
Crashes immediacy on Sync Now
Purchased the app to replace Writeroom.
Linked to Dropbox, authorized. Hit “Sync Now” and the app crashes. Opened again, Settings > Dropbox > Sync Now. Crash.
Seems unstable.technothrill
Developer Response
Please upgrade to the latest version. Issue is fixed in the latest 3.14 version of Writemator.Simple, but confusing navigation
Back in the WriteRoom days, using this app was obvious, but lately under the Writemator banner, it's confusing. I never know how to get back to the icon-based file listing. I always end up back at the vertical file listing, with a separate older copy of files. Re-opening the app presents the icons again. Panic attacks when my latest work is hard to find.Show lesscoolfactor
