Works with Google Drive!

Finally, a markdown editor that seems to work right on iPhone with files on Google Drive. With no importing into a database required! I tried all the other options!

tailscaleが使えない

この一点で残念ながら全く使えません。課金の価値なし。

Sulla giusta strada

Migliorabile per Markdown ma sulla giusta strada

No Pencil Support

Doesn't work with Apple Pencil

Solid editor

Interface is a bit confusing but the editor is solid. Worth the money.

这软件没法用

从购买到现在都是这个问题,markdown文件打开只能显示一小部分,想看下自己记的笔记,后面的部分啥也看不到,真给我整笑了,纯纯的没法用的软件也拿来上架,app store审核水平越来越差。

Works well with Google Drive. But beware of sync conflicts!

This editor works fantastic with cloud services like Dropbox and Google Drive. I haven’t found a markdown editor with that functionality elsewhere. CAUTION: Be wary of saving your files in GTW if you haven’t synced them with any new changes to the Google Drive file, e.g., if you updated them on another device. GTW silently saves the file and overwrites non-synced changes. I almost lost hours of writing before I caught this and found a file backup.

OneDrive not functional

Great App, OneDrive issues have been fixed now!

OneDrive sync doesn’t work

OneDrive remote files sync does not work.

Response from developer

the OneDrive issues have been fixed in the latest release.

can't sign in to onedrive

i purchased this app specifically because it's suppose to work with onedrive directly without the need to download the file. but i can't even sign in to onedrive. after entering my email adreess to sign in to onedrive and tapping "next" (presumably to enter my password), the sign in process crashes and brings me back to the "manage remotes" screen. just wasted my money.

i was able to link my google drive. but even there, the results were disappointing. i attempted to open a text file and it wouldn't even open that, throwing an error message.

OneDrive connection not working

The connection with OneDrive is not working. The characted "\" automatically being added to the end of the password seems to be the problem. I requested a refund.

Disappointing.

Response from developer

i’m disappointed ;) can you explain a bit more.

ONLY plain text!

Does not open any format but plain text. Why doesn’t it say so!?

A must have - full-featured text editor at your fingertips

After restoring the iCloud integration the tool is one of the most lightweight and functional text editors around. A must have!
Five stars as soon as the rest of the UI (e.g. left file-lister) gets the same coloring scheme of the active theme!

Like it

Great app with good combination of features. Though a little pricy for a simple app, there aren’t others that provide this ability to simply open and view/edit text over the network. Besides, I love that there is no in app purchase or subscription or ads.

Needs dark mode.

Like it

Let’s me quickly edit files directly on remote drive, manually save them or exit them without saving if I want (other editors that I’ve tried, except GoCoEdit also by this dev, aren’t easy to manually save and all seem to auto save on exit with no option to disable). Thanks for fixing the problem with Google Drive.

Works perfectly with one drive!

Setup was a breeze. Started updating and creating notes within 5 minutes. Interface is clean and simple, not a lot of bells and whistles but this app gets the job done.

Google drive support depreciated

Waste of money.

A solid markdown editor with OneDrive integration

It took a leap of faith to spend A$10 on an app with no reviews. But I’m glad I did.

I had been using an app called Permanote as my text/markdown editor on iOS. I liked it a lot, though I always wished it had OneDrive integration. Then I bought a new iPhone, and found that Permanote had sadly disappeared from the app store. I looked for a replacement, and this was the only one I could see that seemed to offer the functionality of Permanote with the added benefit of OneDrive integration.

I’ve only been using it for a few minutes (so take my review with a pinch of salt) but so far, it seems to do exactly what it promises. Setting up OneDrive integration was fairly easy, and it only takes two clicks to view a preview of what my markdown code will look like once converted to html and rendered in a browser. So far, so good.

Not there yet

This is close to being a very nice app, but there are a few problems making it virtually unusable for me.

1. Can’t adjust line-wrap column. This is fine for Markdown with no line breaks, but if you get Markdown already having line breaks at say, column 80, it looks terrible.

2. There are some GUI bugs where text or buttons will fall slightly off-screen on my iPad, or move on top of other GUI elements.

It’s worth noting GoCoEdit by the same developer doesn’t have these problems and is now my primary Markdown & text editor. It doesn’t have a nice simple view with text centered on the screen and wide margins the way GTW does, but it’s far more usable.
