### 4/5 — Feedback

*2026-05-05*

Since so far, I have just started using the app, but I like it

### 5/5 — good

*2026-02-13*

### 5/5 — Excellent Simple Writer from a Great Developer

*2025-11-23*

I have been using the app for something like 8 years now very happily. Little bugs here and there do get addressed over time. Cannot recommend enough.

### 5/5 — Das ist etwas, das ich immer gesucht und jetzt erst gefunden habe

*2025-08-19*

Ja, iWriter ist ein Top-Schreibprogramm, ohne Schnörkel, ohne Schnickschnack. Einfach NUR zum Schreiben von Gedanken, Gedichten, Geschichten, … 

Es ist ein ganz anderer Ansatz wie Word, bei dem man ständig irgendetwas sucht, formartiert, in Menüs etwas unter Tausenden Dingen rauskramt und das Nebensächliche, das dann das Wichtige, nämlich das Schreiben, blockiert.

Besonders für Apple Geräte wie iPad und Mac Book ist das Programm perfekt.

Wobei man es auch für Windows nutzen kann, so dass egal von man arbeitet, über die Cloud, immer ein paar Dinge ergänzen oder korrigieren kann (bis der Chef kommt :-) ).

Kurz und knapp ich liebe es!

### 4/5 — Good but a bit of a flaw

*2025-08-18*

I wanted this mostly for plain text file editing, but paid the pro version price as sometimes I write markdown for Github repos. And overall it seems pretty good - i.e. no distracting frills and works well as an editor.

The only problem I've encountered is it seems to cache the text from the currently open file. So if I upload to my laptop, edit, then copy back, when I open iWriter Pro it shows the old text until I open the file.

I therefore worry that if I close the app without noticing it'll autosave the file back to an old version. If that was fixed, just by reloading on app start, it'd be a 4* app in my view.

### 5/5 — The best No-Nonsense Markdown Editor

*2025-08-10*

iWriter Pro is a fast, stable, and efficient markdown editor with simple formatting tools, excellent search + replace with find->next and replace all features. This is invaluable for working on long documents.

This application is an excellent investment and I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

### 5/5 — Best straightforward text editing app

*2025-05-29*

I've tried dozens and this one is trusty and reliable. I can edit long documents without having to worry about corruption or weird undos. Some other major players seem to have these issues still when it comes to long documents. Also the interface and formatting all work simply and beautifully. Just enough options without being excessive. Thanks for the great app!

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work- Avoid

*2025-04-02*

Misleading features list. Preview barely works. App is not being updated to fix bugs and developer does not respond. Avoid this app at all costs.

### 3/5 — Soweit okay

*2025-03-02*

Die App macht einen guten Eindruck, aber in den Standardfunktionen neben Fett, Kursiv, Listen, Code, Aufgabe/To-do-Liste usw. fehlt die Tabelle - Meiner meine eine Basis im Markdown. 
Es ist auch nicht möglich die Kurzbefehle selber anzuordnen. 
Meiner Meinung sollte dies in einer „Pro“ Version schon enthalten sein, schließlich ist eine Pro-Version für den Poweruser ausgelegt und sollte den Nutzer entlasten.

### 5/5 — Richtig gutes Tool um KI Text aus der App in pdf usw. zu übertragen!

*2025-02-28*

Sehr schönes Design und wunderbar praktisch für mich um einen mit GROK generierten Text, auch mit Tabellen in genau den gleichen schönen Format wie Grok es macht zu übernehmen und als PDF oder Word und noch viele weitere Formate zu übernehmen! Top!
