  • Good by itself, Great if used with "Pages"

    There are several features I need that this app does not support but Apple's smart phone and tablet app, "Pages", does. Such as being able change the font for specific text selected, such as the font color, size, underline it, etc. However "Pages" does not have everything either. Now that I know ALL basic, heavily used functionality is possible to obtain in an iPhone and iPad app, I intend to search for an app that has all functionality in ONE place. I'll post if/when I find it!
    *HINT* (to the creators) if you add some of the heavily used, simple functions that are currently missing (you can find them in Apple's "Pages" app), then YOUR app would be the one mentioned (here and in my blog). You need a better requirements analyst too! 😜
    I would even be willing to pay .99 - $1.99 for additional "add-on" functionality!

    One bug I have is that my "FONT", "HELP", and added Accessory keys don't work. All they do is add the informational text to the document.

  • Best of its kind.

    Best text editor I have tried; very highly recommended. Other text editors are way too simple. This app has a lot of features, but manages to keep the interface clean. The only things I would like to see added are:

    - Drop down files list. I don't mind backing out to select files, but it is not as intuitive as a drop down list..
    - Retina backgrounds with a better selection, the current ones are drab. I'm using the new iPad 3 and the backgrounds look upscaled to me.
    - Create paper packs as iAP's.
    - Control over the line color, with better spacing detection when using different fonts.

    *** To anyone reading this, even with the suggestions and critique this is still the best text editor of its kind.

  • Great app with great support

    I used this app for notes and files while out and about. Like the Dropbox import and the folders to organise documents. Email support was quick and clear when I had a few questions to ask. Like the screen fonts and keyboard. It does what it says.
  • Very good

    Of the dozen or so writing apps I've tried on my iPod Touch, this one has emerged as my favourite. I like the font options and the custom toolbar and shortcuts and the way the junk at the top of the screen slides out of the way when you're editing.

    The auto backups to Dropbox are a nice feature. However, it doesn't sync changes that you make to those files on another computer (though you can re-import the changed files from Dropbox).

  • Outstanding

    I've tried loads of text editors. The only reason I even keep Pages around is for handling doc and docx files. Other than a few irritating exceptions, I use Cool Writer for just about all of my on-phone composition: emails, notes, lists, texts, as well as this review. Easy, atypically useful, and genuinely fun customization options, minus the typical laundry basket of over-styled, confusing ways to crash an app I'm used to, combined with easy sharing and Dropbox integration make this one of my favorite apps.

  • Great apps!

    Wonderful apps!
  • Very cool

    I love this app. It is just great to be able to put all of my notes in one place and in my own file structure.

    It has a vast array of fonts and some note paper backgrounds as well.

    I recommend this little beauty.
  • When you need more than smiley faces

    ⭕: A robust selection of HTML characters, symbols, emoji an maybe even more! Easily jot notes customized with themes that can easily be copied or directly email or send as text messages.

    ❌: Keyboards can take some time to get used to, nothing serious.

    I'd use this as a replacement for the default keyboard on my iOS device!

  • Outstanding app

    Much better than Apple keyboard if for no other reason than it has a backspace/arrow keys that makes movement around text much easier. I understand they are working on an update that allows direct printing of text writing without having to change it to PDF etc.
  • 闪退

    打开无限传输时就莫名其妙闪退!
