The Best Markdown App I have used

My only regret is it is not available for Linux. Otherwise this is exactly the app I needed. I plan to write my thesis using this.

UPDATE (28.10.2026)

If anything, my appreciation has only grown. I am heavily reliant on this product for the iPad which is the only device I use now. Quite bummed that you were forced to pull out support for Android. My rating stands. And I wish the App Store would take ratings separately for customer support because your personal responses to users are really encouraging and honest. Thank you for that too.

We just caught this update: 🫶 Thank you so much for the shout out to our Support team. In spite of the past experience with Android we are exploring paths to bring Writer to more platforms. Please keep an eye on this space: ia.net/news

Great app!

One word: Thanks!

That you! ☺️

日本語にバグがあり、長期間直っていない

タイプライターモードで文ごとにハイライトするよう設定している際、日本語だと頻繁にテキストが上下に飛ぶような動きをします。文章が若干上に上がり、日本語の変換をエンターキーで確定すると文章が元の位置に戻ります。これは日本語特有の問題で、英語を書いている時には起こりません。なので開発者はそれを認識していないのだと思います。

Response from developer

いつも大変お世話になっております。 この度は、タイプライターモードにおける日本語入力時の挙動につきまして、貴重なフィードバックをいただき誠にありがとうございます。 ご指摘いただきました現象について、開発チームでも詳細な調査を進めたいと考えております。大変お手数をおかけいたしますが、詳細(ご利用のOSのバージョンなど)につきまして、サポート窓口までご連絡をいただけますと幸いでございます。 より快適に弊社アプリをご利用いただけるよう、精一杯サポートさせていただきます。 今後ともどうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。

Exceptional

IA Writer is simply one of if not the best writing app across many platforms. It is sleek, simple, and resourceful while being easy to use. Also, no subscription BS. 10 out of 10. I have used it for years and will continue to do so.
