### 3/5 — Micro vs macro

*2024-08-14*

Within the tool the features are pretty good. However, ntegration into my workflow is difficult because file management is a  difficult. For example, I can’t open a markdown file where it is filed but need to make an imported copy.

### 5/5 — 好用

*2022-10-25*

记东西贼方便

**Developer response:** 感谢您的支持😊

### 2/5 — On Ubuntu this works well. On IPAD it’s really bad

*2022-03-30*

On Ubuntu I have setup this app to store files on my NAS drive and also store images there so across all devices there’s the same experience. This app does not allow it. It only allows to export to other apps but does not let you view from there. 
When importing images it’s only from Photos therefore cannot import from anywhere else + even from Photos import is not working as images are not coming up. 

If it’s a free app then it’s worth it. 
 I have 2 stars only because I enjoy using it on ubuntu

### 5/5 — 希望加强

*2020-11-05*

希望能够支持添加本地图片（现有的添加图片永远无法加载进图片）

**Developer response:** 您好，2.6.0 版本已修复添加图片问题，支持自定义图床，请升级体验，感谢您的支持。

### 3/5 — 有待加强一些用户体验

*2020-09-10*

1.编辑模式下代码块不能语法高亮。
2.不能重命名文件。
3.-在语法里面容易有连线。

**Developer response:** 您好，是支持重命名的，长按笔记列表的某一行，就可以编辑新名字了。另外两点我们再优化一下，感谢您的使用和反馈。

### 1/5 — 语法问题

*2019-05-28*

Markdown语法不共通！！！比如表格。。。。。

### 5/5 — 希望可以加入实时预览功能

*2019-05-20*

这样编辑的时候可以看到效果，也不需要界面跳转，会对用户更加友好哒

**Developer response:** 谢谢支持和建议，我会尽力实现实时预览功能。

### 5/5 — 很棒，以后不随便升级iOS了

*2018-12-17*

😄

**Developer response:** 谢谢🙏

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2017-07-08*

弱鸡！闪退！浪费钱的

### 4/5 — 可否加入本地图片插入文本的功能

*2017-04-13*

另外要是能加入导出成docx、Epub等文本功能就更好了。
还有一个建议是增加快速建立表格的功能，因为在手机上制表实在有点累。
上述建议望能采纳。
