Amazingly useful app
True to their word many years ago, they have continued to provide support for this great little utility
Do one thing! Then the next
This super clean writing space lets you create and then send. So glad it’s alive and V2 is on the way!
My favourite app
Beautiful in its simplicity. I have my iPhone’s action button mapped to open this app, that’s how important it is to me.
simple and easy to use
I am blind and I use VoiceOver on my iPhone. I love how simple and easy this app is to use. The only criticism I have about this app is that while navigating with voiceover, there are two select all buttons. The first button that is labeled select all is where you change the app icon. The second button that is labeled select all actually select all the text in the document. The last minor issue I have with the app is that when you tap on the Word count button with voiceover, you don’t actually get any feedback for how many words are in the document with voiceover. these are just very very minor things that I have noticed that could be fixed. But overall, I love the app and I will still give it five out of five stars. I tried other draft apps, and they were just too cluttered and confusing.

One Thing Well
There’s one thing we all need to do today:
1. A list
2. An email
3. A plan or proposal
Edit offers a distraction-free spot and pleasant place to type, tinker, and then copy, delete and put the text where it goes.
I also use and love Drafts. But this is for the one thing that I really need to write now. (Like a review)

Home Screen Fixture
I’ve had this app on my home screen since I stumbled (good luck finding it in the App Store using “edit”, “scratchpad”, “notepad”, etc) across it 4-5 years ago and still works on my 15 Pro. Simple app that upon opening is ready to capture thoughts via keyboard or voice. No tapping “new note”, or going to a special notebook or page - just start entering data like you would with a paper notepad. Unlike a paper pad, you can select any part (or the whole screen) of entered data and send it to a contact or app. I use Edit as my GTD Inbox - quickly jot down stuff. Then when I have time I review and send a particular item or the whole screen to the right app (e.g., my calendar, task app, journal, etc) for final processing. No in-app purchases, no review requests, no ads - which is pretty refreshing these days!

RTL support
If only it had RTL support and adjustments per line depending on language LTR RTL
Yes!
Thrilled about this app. Exactly what I needed! I love iA writer for macOS but it’s a little slow on the draw in iOS. This app fills the gap and *yes* it exports .txt files to Files or Dropbox! 🙏🏾
Hire this developer
To make an app so simple, and yet so useful, is an indication to where the developer’s skills are tailored. This is an app i use almost daily to temporarily hold my clipboard and also often when composing written pieces that pull from multiple sources, due to its ease of use and, again, the simplicity. This app stays on page 1 of my home screen.

Exactly what I wanted
I was looking for something like Drafts but without all the power user clutter.
Now that I have it, I would like it if it obeyed the system accessibility text size, and synced across to the version on my ipad. But this is a great app.

iOS13
An update to support iOS13 dark mode would be appreciated.
Does not work on iPhone 5
Purchased but won't download. Running iOS 10.3.4 I hope the developer will fix.
The Only One (Xr?)
This app is perfectly minimal, and has a permanent place on my home screen.
I recently upgraded to an iPhone Xr, though, and I can see that the app is blown up from iPhone X resolution. Will you update to address this, KQ?

A model citizen
This is practically the platonic ideal of an app: using a phone to save you a little bit of trouble (carrying paper/pen in your pocket) without sucking you into a vortex of time wasting possibilities. And the ten year guarantee seems entirely attainable given the program’s simplicity. Failing that, there is the pledge to release the source in the event of premature abandonment, a noble principle which I hope to see more broadly adopted.

Simple—I love it! Just one request
Could the app use San Francisco font instead? Or even a small selection of built-in fonts?
Almost Great- but it flashes with every hit of return or movement to a new line
I purchased this so I could type in night mode to get down ideas that come to me in the night for my work. As an artist this is a key part of my process. This app seemed like the answe. It’s so close to being great- the only problem is the white text flashes every time you hit return! This also happens when you fill a line of text and your curses moves to the next line pushing all the text up and at that moment the whole page flashes. This strobing effect is startling and takes me out of the flow. I would kindly ask the developer to please fix this and I’d be happy to give it 5 stars.Thank you!

Fantastic
I love this app. It’s the fastest way to go from thought to text, and then to send the text whenever you want to go. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. This app nails it.
great Drafts alternative
I used Drafts for a while, and it got really bloated and complex and also very expensive. If you want a simple place to write text to copy or send to another app, this is it.
And unlike Drafts, it’s a single one time purchase, instead of yet another monthly software rental.

Almost perfect
Please add iCloud sync. Then this app would truly be perfect for me.
Not Annoying!
Write anything down fast. No complications.
