### 5/5 — MacとiPhoneで連携できて素敵！

*2022-04-21, version 1.12.1*

軽く起動するのですぐにメモをとれるし
iPhoneでもMacでもすぐに反映されて
編集できるところがとても便利です。

記事の削除やカテゴリ分けしておいた場所に移動するのは、記事の上で指をスライドするようにすればメニューが出てきて無事できました。

あと、写真とか添付したいときは、Macからならドロップすれば添付になり、iPhoneからでもその写真を見ることができました。ただ、iPhoneから添付する方法はわかっていません。できるのかな？

広告がなくて軽い動作でとても感謝しています。ありがとうございます！！！

### 4/5 — 削除できない？

*2021-04-17, version 1.12.1*

シンプルで動作も軽快、まさに求めていたアプリなのですが、いらなくなったノートを削除するボタンが見当たりませんので、星4とさせて戴きました

### 3/5 — 使えるけど…

*2021-03-04, version 1.12.1*

日記とか文章をまとめるのには使える。
でもたまに（というかよく）書いた文章が消えてたりして、昨日書いて見返したかった文章とかがなくなってたりしていた。

### 5/5 — Good!

*2020-08-04, version 1.11.0*

無料でここまで使えるのは便利。
改善点をあげるなら写真をiPhoneからアップロードしたい

### 1/5 — 自動保存されてない？

*2020-04-06, version 1.8.6*

長文が保存されず消えてしまいました。

### 4/5 — I’m satisfied, but needs some work

*2018-10-11*

After a very short period of usage (somewhere around 5 minutes), here are some pros and cons that I’ve noticed;

Pros:
  • In-editor colorization and formatting is surprisingly pleasant
  • Markdown shortcut keys are really convenient and concise
  • File management is probably implemented the best out of the various other free editors I’ve used (such as “Kakerude”, which I do NOT suggest)

Cons:
  • No support for previewing your finished documents in-app. Only way to do this is by copy-and-pasting your document into a markdown viewer online
  • No way to title your document without using the heading format from within the editor

Ideas:
  • I’d really like to see the possibility of adding some other Markdown specifications (such as Github’s Markdown spec)
