What's New in Editorial

1.3.4

February 7, 2020

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. • Added support for the iPhone X with its native resolution. • Changed toolbar color in the preview/accessory panel – this makes it easier to distinguish the preview from the editor. • Improved performance for switching between dark and light mode. • The accessory panel (preview, in-app browser...) uses the same tab bar UI on iPhone and iPad now. • Removed support for the public workflow directory. Your shared workflows will remain online for the foreseeable future, but the directory will soon become read-only. You can still share workflows using the "Copy Workflow" feature, of course, which is more flexible anyway, as it allows you to put your workflows in any plain text file. • Fixed an issue with explanatory text in the settings being displayed incorrectly (particularly on small screens). • Fixed footnote navigation in Markdown preview. • Fixed table view actions not being executed in "Custom UI" workflow actions. • Fixed a few issues with inline boneyard in Fountain documents.

The best

For editing text on the fly and syncing, the best I’ve found!

Developer never responded before he disappeared forever

For Christ sake, don’t zoom the keyboard, 30% larger than every other application, wasting exactly 50% of my desktop space for no reason. And look at all that dead space above the app title, furthermore, you could have the text skills scroll all the way up past the notch instead of making a dead space, almost an inch high at the top as well Jesus…

Great editing app

Finding this app easy to use for editing markdown files, has a contents function hidden away, but lacks a viewer to see the end result without the formatting. I use an ancient iPad 2 Mini, so very few choices with viewers like this.
That being said, this app is very functional and useable on my old iPad mini. Recommended this one!
