Love this app.

The app is amazing, but i use it on My IPad, and when i do if i have spell correct mode on most of the time I cannot see what I’m typing, because the word suggestions will pop up in front of my story. I love that this app doesn’t make you pay for anything, and that you can name your stories. It is amazing, i just wish you could add italics.

Minor Problem

Love the app, but it automatically deleted one of my Stories when I didn’t press the delete button. Went off the app for a bit and came back to the Story gone. Overall, excellent app would recommend to someone new in writing or notes ❤️
