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。

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.
自動インデントをオフにさせて
タイトルのとおり。
前の行で行頭にスペースを入れて改行すると、自動でスペースが入って非常に使いにくい。

Love IA writer
This app is so useful for writing family history and being able to work on several chapters at a time. I have been using it since before the improvements and appreciate them all. It removes all my excuses to not write! The new improvements are a wonderful addition to app! I realized I needed something like that, but never dreamed an app could do all that. I don’t know what I would do without IA writer. It keeps me going even if I don’t feel like writing!
I haven’t tried all the new updates, and they sound wonderful! I have used and loved this app for so long, I don’t know what I’d do without it.
I will work at trying the new updates too.

We're (still) not sorry about those lost excuses. 😉 We hope our app continues to inspire great writing for a long time to come! Thanks for taking time to rate and share this with us/other writers. 🫶
Interfering with file association on iPad Os
There is a bug. Installing iA Writer on iPadOS causes DNG files in Files/removable storage to open in iA Writer instead of Preview; uninstalling iA Writer immediately restores correct Preview behavior.
Improving iA Writer for Writers
This app needs an "index card view”, similar to Scrivener’s Cork Board or Notion’s Gallery so we can rearrange chapters, scenes, or comedy bits with simple drag-and-drop, like flash cards.
This will allow us to zoom out and see the structure and flow of our work. It will allow this app to be THE app for writers everywhere.
Edit: we need a LIBRARY or HOME button on iPhone & iPad to press at any moment. Swiping a half dozen times is exhausting and makes me not want to use the app.

Latest version not usable
Too many bugs to count in the latest app version. Vibe coding at its worst.
Timeless, Simple, The Best!
this app has been serving me for years and years without an extra cost. it’s lightweight as memo app, and still functional for long-form contents such as proposal and scripts. I hope there’d be more template so i can just make any document with this app and markdown files!
Response from developer
Thank you! We've got a few things in the works we think you'll like. 😉 Please stay tuned: https://ia.net/news
Great.
I prefer the IOS version over the Mac version but they are both great.
Keyboard issues
This app used to work nicely on my iPad Pro 12in using the official keyboard. Unfortunately, right now the app doesn’t show the suggestions on the bottom bar, or even highlight typos or misspellings. Force to show the touch-keyboard, making impossible to use Grammarly. Stage manager is disabled, and the keyboard works perfectly in many other apps. Looks like a small issue, but it completely destroys my workflow. I hope the developers fix this issue ASAP.

Excelente
iA Writer é um aplicativo que ajuda incrivelmente quando se trata de concentrar-se na escrita em markdown e é projetado especificamente para escritores. É muito útil para moldar, polir, corrigir e desenvolver um texto. Não tem muitos botões, opções de estilo, etc., então o foco fica mesmo no que se quer transmitir. Outro destaque é a simples sincronização com outros programas ou plataformas, como Word, DropBox, iCloud, Drive ou mesmo WordPress ou Medium, para que você possa enviar seus artigos diretamente para o seu site. Mas uma das maiores características é o modelo de negócio, i.e., não cobra uma assinatura, pois não é um serviço e sim um software, isso para mim, ao menos, é definitivo! Parabéns aos desenvolvedores e super recomendo!

Obrigado pelas amáveis palavras.
Horrible support with files opened from other apps
The editor is great but opening and editing files from other apps is tedious at best and sometimes constantly shows a status of updating, overwriting edits from other devices or various of other kinds of bad and unpredictable behavior that makes the app extremely difficult to work on documents. When it works it is great but when it doesn’t it will make you want to delete the app.

Magnífica aplicación.
Es la mejor aplicación de escritura. Simple y con un diseño excelente. Un detalle: la compré hace años y nunca ha dejado de mejorar. Y nunca me han intentado vender una suscripción. Su fidelidad a los clientes es su mejor presentación.
Freeze with icloud
Unusable lately. Open a file in iCloud. Leave the open, reopen the app hours later and try to “exit” current file by tapping the back button to “iCloud”. App freezes entirely and never recovers.
Paid for features that I’m not getting.
With this app being so highly rated and I want it to be useful—the app doesn’t do what it’s saying it will for me. I purchased this app on my iPad as I believe the features would be really convenient to use, however none of the syntax features work at all on my iPad. This is an iPad Pro that is only a few years old. The app works perfectly fine on my iPhone but I didn’t pay for it to be used on there. Please fix this issue as I’m certain I’m probably not the only person experiencing this.

la mejor app
simplemente fantástica
It’s. Just. Like. This.
Bowing to the Buddha nature, iA Writer presents a white space/blank page/tabula rasa that my ADHD brain appreciates. As said in meditation and concept, “It’s just like this.” And iA Writer enables me to write without backspacing, correcting, editing, and just…writing like no one is watching… Freestyle, free flowing, thank you iA Writer for continuing the updates and improvements, after all these years, you are still my number one. ✌🏼🫶🏼✨

Impact
Been using since first IA writer then iA writer classic and pro and then the modern mastered iA writer. This is by far the best implementation of what i’ll call a text editor for any outcomes
