No settings panel that I could find, so no idea what the font selections look like. I will keep an eye on this, but it needs a bit more. ### 2/5 — nice try *2014-01-17* could be really good. but when tried to change font and size, button was slow to respond or totally unresponsive. so far, much better apps, like nebulous, docs2go, even Pages much better ### 3/5 — Great concept, could use some polish *2014-01-16* Good amount of supported files. But missing UI polish that you'd expect in an iOS app. Like the button spacing being crammed together or the lack of feedback when tapping. There's potential though. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hm *2025-11-30* Keeps force closing on me ### 1/5 — Inexplicably cant open RTF files *2024-04-20* Don’t know why some of my RTF files are grayed out and unopenable, don’t care. Tried multiple times, it doesn’t work, now I’ve deleted the app. ### 1/5 — App is DOA on iOS 16 *2022-11-06* I use this app everyday. Terribly disappointing that it doesn’t work with the new iOS 16. Please fix this app ASAP! ### 1/5 — Uncontrollable cursor *2021-05-29* I downloaded this, opened a file, and found the cursor to be uncontrollable. Useless. ### 1/5 — It crashes constantly *2018-11-21* Hard to like an app that opens and crashes as soon as you try to view a focument. ### 1/5 — Попробовал *2014-03-08* В режиме txt и проч. не дает возможности для печати на русском ### 1/5 — Fonctionne pas *2014-01-25* Je ne comprends pas comment cet App fonctionne ? Je ne peux faire que des traits sur les Pdf mais impossible d'écrire ### 1/5 — Terrible *2014-01-19, version 1.0* The UI of this app is terribly unintuitive. It doesn't do anything particularly well — there are much better alternatives. ### 1/5 — Worst launch *2014-01-14, version 1.0* I had high hopes for this app. Alas, I am severely disappointed. Not intuitive. Compose button is used to open existing docs. Can't change file name once created. No editing tools for PDF. Files do not open. ### 2/5 — VERY buggy *2014-09-22* I thought I'd give this a try for saving rtfs. I pasted in text with color and links. All looked fine. Then: 1) tried changing color on part of text-very limited options. 2) tried making a section of text smaller, end of text was not visible-could not scroll to it 3) tried saving-could find no way of saving or going back to a document list (of doc was auto saving)-app crashes while I was looking! 4) tried again to change doc size-bottom lines were truncated again. 5) when changing size or color, hyperlinks in my pasted text were removed! 6) dumping this app-want the past 10 minutes of my life back ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect for me *2015-12-25* The iOS and Mac OS X versions are perfect for my writing needs. They both integrate well with iCloud, they’re lean and the price is right. So, yes it’s great. ### 5/5 — Good *2014-09-07* It ok ### 5/5 — Reddit brought me here *2014-01-16* Been looking for a N++ for iOS for a while! Will give this app a try. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2014-01-16* The variety of formats is incredible! Tons of different document formats. Sleek design. Truly amazing. ### 5/5 — Super handy!! *2014-01-15* Finally something that let's me start code on my Mac, then continue it on my iOS device! ### 4/5 — Still testing it *2023-07-23* Haven’t written anything with this yet though getting to know the program a bit, those who work in freelance might be seeing a 33 year old attachment getting mileage on a different operating system. Still seeing how this might operate may help my classmate and cousin on their anthology 📝 Update I would like to have the app developers produce a manuscript using this in the headspace of the Creative Nonfiction Foundation an organization that Bing had donated points to on my behalf not a bad app would be honored to have you guys aboard along with RichTexture & zWrite it takes all of you to get an .rft to a Windows OS with either Zoho or AOL takes some practice well worth the find 📓 ### 4/5 — Still testing it *2020-09-20, version 1.9.2* Haven’t written anything with this yet though getting to know the program a bit, those who work in freelance might be seeing a 33 year old attachment getting mileage on a different operating system. Still seeing how this might operate may help my classmate and cousin on their anthology 📝 ### 4/5 — Many good features; a few flaws *2015-01-02* This is a great word processor and works really well for those of us who use Siri to dictate a draft or brief document. If you pause before you say "period", it is smart enough to enter "." Biggest gripe I have is that the app says it is optimized for iPhone 5, but good luck reading the name of your files without an old-timey magnifying glass. I'm guessing it was ported from OSX and nobody really looked at that aspect of the interface. You can't do a zoom to bring up the size of the text on the file list, and all you see is the truncated file name in itsy-bitsy teeny-tiny letters. ### 4/5 — Does the trick *2014-01-21* Simple text editor for when pages is just too much. Please update graphics for retina display iPads. (Font sizes are small and graphics are fuzzy). Make interface more intuitive. Otherwise simple and has the ability to move files between apps is great! :) ### 4/5 — Looks good *2014-01-16* Saw this on reddit...
