Don’t install

I clicked on 2 button, I couldn’t make it work, it proposed me to pay and I got a scam add threatening me. I just uninstalled.

Too many cookies and trackers

I didn’t get past the first screen (cookie consent). There is about a million of them. It would take half an hour to disable all “legitimate interest” trackers. If you are happy with this approach, go ahead. But I hate this level of intrusion. Dev could fix this easily by offering disabling and opting out of everything, but instead they went with this. :/

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The consent screen is required in the EU and UK for apps with ads. With version 2.0 you can decline all with a single tap, and the app works fully either way. Pro removes ads and tracking entirely.

No close function and save file is txt

I save the file.md as name, but save as file.md.txt finally.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this. Version 2.0 fixes both issues: files are now saved as real .md files, and documents can be closed normally to return to the overview.

Не работает

Просто черный экран и все

Fishy ad-riddled app

The App Store listing says nothing about ads or in app purchases. When you start this app you’re greeted with ads and a large “get rid of apps” button which actually takes you to a different app (some eBay fee calculator). It looks very suspicious. I deleted it immediately. And you should do the same.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The App Store listing now clearly states that the app contains ads and an optional Pro subscription. In version 2.0, ads are reduced and no longer placed next to app controls, and ads can be removed directly in the app through Pro.

Perfect for GPT formatting.

I like to have my emails with significant words in Bold made by chat GPT, this app makes it happen. 👌

Junk

Conceptually it was a reasonable idea.

Implementation was a disaster.

This app should *never be permitted on the Apple App Store*.

It is junk.

Obviously it was never beta-tested prior to release.

Let’s start with a basic, the editor.

Everywhere, *any editor* will automatically capitalise the first letter of a new sentence when a hard <return> is made, except this one.

Everywhere, *any editor* is smart enough to know how to form conjunctions, except this one.

Everywhere, *any editor* places the cursor at the end of the final character, except this one.

I could go further, but you get the idea.

The ads.

God almighty what a disaster.

We get that you want to push your ‘ad free’ product, but when the basic product is such a failure one is left to wonder why the user is constantly bombarded with ads to pay for anything.

*Nowhere* in the product description in the App Store is there any mention of ads, or payments.

The ads for ‘add free’ just jump out of nowhere at a rate that exceeds the time to try and type a simple ‘Hello world’ sentence.

Further, there are those full-screen ads which have a handy ‘Close’ button, which *doesn’t do anything*. Nada.

The user is forced to sit through the ad, and to be fair *some* have a tiny little ‘x’ in the corner which will close the offending ad, but then there are the ads from hell without that little ‘x’, and when the ad finally finishes the last frame of the ad just sits there on the screen with *no way to remove it*, because the Close button does nothing.

Fortunately my ‘Hello World’ test wasn’t important because the *only* way to remove the frozen ad is to close the app and start again.

It quickly starts feeling like an exercise in self-flagellation, but missing the reason for the exercise.

TL/DR: It’s junk, with ads that don’t get mentioned prior to installation. I have seldom seen such junk software, anywhere (and I’ve been in the game since the early 1990’s)

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild and addresses these points: • The editor now uses the native iOS text system, including auto-capitalization, autocorrect and correct cursor placement. • Ads are significantly reduced and no longer interrupt typing. The issue with ads that could not be closed is resolved. • The App Store listing now clearly states that the app contains ads and an optional Pro subscription.

tolle idee, aber…

… die kostenlose Variante ist weiterhin nicht nutzbar. Oft sogar mehrmals pro Minute wird eine Vollbildwerbung geschaltet, die sie noch nicht mal einfach wegklicken lässt… grade in einer app, in der man Gedankengänge. „zu Papier bringen“ will, ist diese hohe Frequenz ein echtes Ärgernis und hindert einen überhaupt erst ein Dokument zu erstellen, welches man dann testen kann.

Works but interrupted too frequently

Was excited for this but after being interrupted by 10 ads while trying to make edits I gave up? Not worth it in my opinion.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry for the experience. You were right: the old version showed far too many ads. Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild. Ads no longer interrupt you while typing, and Pro removes them entirely. I'd be glad if you gave it another try!

Nun..... ein Test der APP ist kaum möglich.

Ich kann mich dem anderem Benutzer wirklich anschließen.
Ich wollte wirklich einmal die APP Testen, doch das ist kaum möglich.

Ich gebe eine Zeile an & schon poppt die Werbung auf.... Echt schlimm, da kann wirklich kaum von einer Reduzierung die Rede sein.

Response from developer

Hallo, danke für das Feedback. Ich habe die Werbung jetzt nochmal deutlich reduziert, sodass es vor allem deutlich länger dauert bis sich die erste Werbung öffnet. Ich hoffe sie können die App nochmal testen. Außerdem gibt es eine Pro Version der App, welche ohne Werbung auskommt. Schreiben Sie mir gerne eine Email an jlauapps@gmail.com um weiteres Feedback geben zu können.

根本打开不了

如题

Ob der Entwickler seine Werbversion selbst schon mal verwendet hat?

Kann ich mir nicht vorstellen.

Ich habe nichts gegen ein wenig Werbung, um Software testen zu können und dann wenn es passt zu zahlen (solange es kein Abo Murks ist).

Aber die Werbung die hier eingebunden ist, ist unfassbar. Das Teil ist praktisch nicht nutzbar.

Sorry, aber das ist Grütze.

Response from developer

Danke für die Rückmeldung. Im neuesten Update der App habe ich die Werbung aufgrund ihrer Bewertung deutlich reduziert. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn sie die App erneut testen können. Leider kann ich nicht komplett auf Werbung verzichten, da ich nun mal auch viel Arbeit in meine Apps investiere. Sie können allerdings eine werbefreie Pro-Version der App erwerben. Gerne können sie mich für weitere Rückmeldungen auch über jlauapps@gmail.com kontaktieren.

Funktioniert super

Mit der App kann ich schnell markdown texte schreiben und direkt auf dem iPad speichern.
Genau wonach ich gesucht hatte.
