Long term user

Been using this app for a decade now, randomly thought about it… while I miss the themes, I’m glad this app is back and functions just as good as it did 10 years ago!

Crashes

Perfect.

So perfect that all I hope for is that it never loses it’s compatibility with any future iOS.

Keyboard keeps disappearing

Keyboard keeps disappearing. In order to get it back, one needs to close the current note, go back to history and re-open. This happens so often that it renders the whole app useless.
iPodOS 16.6.1 (and all previuos versions two years back)
iPad A2197 (MW742VC/A) (7th generation)

Otherwise it would be a perfect app to take brief notes.
Please fix it, and you will receive all five stars with an excellent review.

メモが消える

8日に記載した内容がアプリを開くと消えていて、1週間程度前にメモした内容に巻き戻っていた。

Very good

I reccomend buying this, you couldn’t ask for more.

it hangs when I select the whole text exceeds 10,000 characters

I usually use it conveniently, but when I paste large data that exceeds 10,000 characters, it hangs when I select the whole text and I cannot delete it. Please add a function to clear all characters.

Disturbing

At first, I was very impressed that such a tiny app would allow me to make pdf files of the draft and save them elsewhere…

Then I discovered three files (sometimes four, depending on what I'd done) were being created in my 'Files' (a completely different app); and that each time I returned to DrafPad, those files were getting bigger, even though I'd written NOTHING at all! After deleting these uninvited files (from 'Files'), they would reappear the very next time I opened DraftPad. And then I looked in Draftpad history to discover that these previously empty files were being filled up with some kind of code I could make little sense of, but which might have something to do with formatting (I'm guessing, based on what I saw).

If the developer cannot explain what is happening and reassure me about the reasons for such apparently peculiar behaviour, I feel I have no choice but to delete the app and all associated, uninvited files.

Please get back to me - and if it makes sense, I will have another go and update this review. But for now, I feel very uncomfortable about an app which does things I'm not asking of it and that these auto-created files just keep getting bigger and bigger each time I open the app or look at the gobbledygook I can't make sense of.

Simply Beautiful (and vice-versa)

Nothing but text editing. I looked and looked for something like this. My favorite feature is the “ready-to-type” interface — you run the app and the first thing it shows is a cursor, not a list of text files with a “plus” sign that you must tap BEFORE you can type. Just run the app and start typing.

シンプルで良い。このままで、良い。

シンプルで使いやすいです。複雑な機能は入りません。cloud同期なども必要なしです。このまま、ずっと使えたら、それで良いのです。
不具合でた時の対応だけは、よろしくお願いします。末永く永久に使います。

履歴から開こうとすると落ちる!

Fantastic for playing teachers!

I am a kid and this is perfect for when I want to play school thanks for making this a thing

iPad に DraftPad、最高ですッ

しかも無料で使えるなんて…
そのうちダークモードにも対応してほしい!

Thank God

I’ve been looking for something like this for years. Just give me a blank screen to type some stuff that I can cut and paste. Don’t make me create new notes and save them. Just let me type out my Facebook rant without risking hitting the send button to soon.

Almost perfect!!!

This app is very good for taking notes, as i’m writing a novel about post world war three when the world is devastated by the use of nuclear weapons, this app is really good for all my planning and note-taking and brain storming. There is one thing though: is there any way that I can write two different documents/drafts at the same time, like add a page so i don’t have to delete my notes so i can write something else because there’s only one page??? i’m not sure that makes much sense but another person has asked the same question. Otherwise a great app and everyone should download!!

What I was looking for

I love it. It'll be excellent if dark mode is available.

Really Good App 👍

Such a great app to use for writing, highly recommend!

こんな感激あるだろうか

開発終了したにも関わらず、ユーザーのメモ財産の為にリニューアルして帰って来たなんて…。下書きやテキストのベタ打ちにはコレが一番早くて使いやすかったから嬉しい。履歴が残るから「必要なメモと不必要なメモを整理する」という作業も必要ないのも良かった。…もう諦めてましたよ!

固まった

1000000文字を超えると固まった。😱
なんとかして〜〜‼️

シンプルなのが良い

例えばFacebookで書き込みをしていて他の作業が入っ中断した時、入力が消えてしまう時があります。そんな時このアプリで下書きしておけば、入力を保持してくれます。

 しかもフォント属性が付かないのが良い。

 ただし、入力行数が表示されますが、これは文字数にしていただきたい。
