An indispensable part of my workflow

I’ve been a longtime user of Drafts, and it fits into my workflow perfectly. The developer continues to extend and improve the app in ways that are thoughtful, useful, and respectful of what makes it so good in the first place. It’s rare to find software that evolves so consistently without becoming bloated or losing sight of its purpose. Drafts is one of those rare apps that just keeps getting better.

Good app

Edit: managed to reinstall actions as per dev advice. Thank you

Disgraceful price rise

This is a slightly useful app which I like having on my phone. But not any more - the developer has just raised the monthly subscription price by 67pc!!!! No big new features. No revolutionary update. Same app, just massively more expensive. Another example of app developers milking their subscribers for all they’re worth. Unjustifiable. I’m out. Subscription cancelled.

En usage depuis 2012

Totalement intégrée à mon activité quotidienne alors que la découverte de cette application fut chaotique, au point que j'avais envisagé, découragé, de l'abandonner !

Et puis je me suis plié à la logique de son développeur avant de capter qu'il y avait toujours plusieurs manières, au sein même de l'application, de réaliser telle ou telle action. Sans oublier le catalogue de scripts avec nombre de contributions des utilisateurs.

Si je ne devais conserver qu'un seul
Traitement de texte, ce serait Drafts.

Note de fin : j'étais comme tous les utilisateurs de cette app décontenancé par le passage à l'abonnement mais c'est indispensable ! Son développeur ne vit pas que d'amour et d'eau fraîche.

Useful, but big learning curve

Takes a while to learn what it can do, and not everything is intuitive. Somewhat fiddly, but it’s got a whole lot of functionality.

Wish they had training courses for it.
