### 3/5 — Мне не подошел

*2026-05-07*

- Стили по умолчанию довольно страшные. Любые другие стили и вообще любые настройки платно

### 4/5 — Great - For a Free App

*2026-04-25, version 1.6.5*

✅
 One Markdown is a great-looking integrated viewer and editor. Free, but worth paying for. 
⛔️ No Search/Find. Fixed width render.
🤮Changes sometimes get lost. Dual-view scroll gets un-synced. Links in PDF don’t work.

### 3/5 — Fixed width

*2026-04-15, version 1.6.5*

This tool cuts off the right side of the markdown.  I tried widening the window and it still cuts off the right side of the markdown.  It seems like the display area is a fixed width.

### 5/5 — A Focused and Flexible Markdown Editor

*2026-03-25, version 1.6.5*

As the name implies, One Markdown does one thing and it does it really well. It has become my go-to verbal thinking tool, sitting transparently between me and my content.

This app’s single pane markdown editor is perfect for getting text into a .md quickly and effortlessly. When you are editing for clarity, the preview pane add comprehension with visual clarity and hierarchy. Long md files are easy to structure and navigate using the outline pane.

I rely on One Markdown for developing and managing 5000 character GPT prompts and very large knowledge files. With my working files stored on iCloud Drive, I can do most of my writing at my desk on my MacBook Pro, make edits in a meeting or off-site using my iPad, and take quick notes or reference in line at the coffee shop on my iPhone.

Out-of-the-box, One Markdown is everything you need and nothing more. But unlock the customizations and you can tailor it to your workflow and visual style.

### 5/5 — Good Job

*2026-03-15, version 1.6.5*

Good Job，I like it.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-03-11, version 1.6.6*

Just use it. Don’t bother with anything else.

### 5/5 — Greetings

*2026-03-04, version 1.6.5*

On the dot1

### 4/5 — Great with One Exception

*2026-02-20*

Much that is useful is behind a paywall. Changing colors isn’t just a great idea, it is what allows people with disabilities to use a product. 

Change font? Paywall. Change settings? Paywall. Have disabilities? Paywall. 

While I understand for some people, black on white or white on black or small/big fonts is a CHOICE for many others, it’s a necessity.

For those with eyesight issues, this isn’t a very forgiving app. For those who have no handicaps, its a good app.

I’ll pass.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-02-08*

Replaces a basic text editor while also adding features of Markdown, at a very fair price. Going forward in 2026, I committed to creating an OS-agnostic file system by saving text-based documents in 3 file formats only: Markdown, Word, or PDF, in that order of preference depending on other factors. This app came just in time to help achieve my goal.

### 5/5 — Zero

*2026-02-07, version 1.6.5*

It works as good as I want it.

### 3/5 — Impossible to use tabs

*2026-02-01, version 1.6.5*

Even though this app has a facility to open new tabs, it is impossible to open multiple md files into the same window. File -> open creates a new window and drag and drop doesn’t work. The tabs are useless unless you want to create a new md file.

### 5/5 — One MarkDown

*2026-01-31, version 1.6.5*

Excelente !

### 5/5 — Great editor for markdown

*2026-01-19, version 1.6.5*

Covers pretty well all of my markdown needs.

### 4/5 — Good but a bit limiting

*2025-12-21, version 1.6.5*

It’s a really helpful app for writing and reading Markdown files, but it’s very impractical for technical documents with charts - the reading context is extremely narrow, and I don’t see an option to expand it.

### 3/5 — 2-way synchronized scrolling with an on/off switch

*2025-12-19*

There is no Save / Undo / Redo / Cancel buttons to apply or discard changes. Whatever changes we make are final which is not good - please provide these buttons. The scrolling is sync’ed when we scroll the left markdown panel (it scrolls preview on the right) but when the preview pane on the right is scrolled, it does not scroll the markdown pane. Better yet, provide a Synchronized Scrolling switch in the settings and also on the toolbar for quick access (default=yes) for on-demand scrolling or turning it off/on quickly for any reason like keeping the other pane sync’ed/unaffected from scrolling. I’ll gladly give this app 5 stars after fixing these issues

### 5/5 — 好软件

*2025-12-18, version 1.6.6*

🥺编辑和预览页面只能左上角返回，希望增加左滑返回。

### 1/5 — 2-way synchronized scrolling with an on/off switch

*2026-03-07*

Please add option to view line numbers. There is no Save / Undo / Redo / Cancel buttons to apply or discard changes. Some files get saved when we open/close files even if we don’t make any changes. Some files show different date compared to dates shown in Files app. Whatever changes we make are final which is not good - please provide these buttons. The scrolling is sync’ed when we scroll the left markdown panel (it scrolls preview on the right) but when the preview pane on the right is scrolled, it does not scroll the markdown pane.

### 1/5 — Do not buy: does not read saved Markdown files!

*2026-02-28, version 1.6.6*

This app saves Markdown files but does not open them! This is absolutely ridiculous! I didn’t realize this until I paid $10 for enhanced LaTex display. Now, I cannot read in the app what I write. What’s the point of this?

Do not buy!

### 1/5 — Не сработал

*2026-02-05*

Вставил в него текст с markdown разметкой. Он не читает.

### 1/5 — Can’t edit MD files stored in filen.io

*2025-11-10, version 1.6.4*

Can’t edit MD files stored in filen.io

### 1/5 — 改个字体大小都要付费

*2025-10-25, version 1.6.3*

不如直接上架买断版

### 1/5 — Rentware

*2025-08-28, version 1.5.7*

Have to pay to use dark mode.

### 1/5 — Trash App

*2025-05-30, version 1.5.7*

This app is the real trash

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS FOR COMPOSITION

*2025-04-14, version 1.5.7*

DO NOT USE THIS FOR COMPOSITION - it randomly quits and loses are your progress. Completely unacceptable!!

UPDATE: The developers of this app are falsely claiming this is not true. But it is ABSOLUTELY true (at least it was when I used it). They didn't even try to triage what might have happened in my case, instead just lazily opting to deny it. I'd demote my rating to zero stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Bezahlen für Darkmode???

*2024-11-25, version 1.5.2*

Ich kann es überhaupt nicht verstehen das man für den Darkmode bezahlen muss, ich könnte es ja verstehen, wenn man für die verschiedenen Themes bezahlen müsste aber doch nicht für den Darkmode an sich.

### 5/5 — Excellent md app

*2026-05-16, version 1.6.7*

Great app. Easy to switch between editing and viewing modes. Lovely css themes as standard and ability to add your own. Improvement if possible: make the markdown keyboard similar to what you see in an app like bear notes, this would be slightly easier to use.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2026-05-10, version 1.6.7*

This is the best markdown app I have ever used!

### 5/5 — Un editor utilissimo e intuitivo

*2026-05-08, version 1.6.7*

One Markdown è uno degli editor Markdown più facili che abbia mai provato. 

E’ intuitivo, leggero e molto user-friendly. 
Io lo uso per creare o modificare file di contesto per l’AI e anche per prendere appunti.

### 5/5 — Great, simple and fast

*2026-05-06, version 1.6.7*

As a good product should be

### 5/5 — Excelente y sencilla

*2026-05-06, version 1.6.7*

Durante años usé Drafts, pero One superó mis expectativas: es sencilla, intuitiva y, a diferencia de otras, maneja las tablas en Markdown sin errores. Ideal para escribir y exportar a PDF sin complicaciones. Recomendada.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-05-04, version 1.6.7*

Does what I need very well.

### 5/5 — Simple, no bloat

*2026-05-01, version 1.6.5*

It has every feature you’d expect with no extra annoying stuff like ads or subscriptions. Just opens directly into a new file with no popups.
The table editor could be a bit better/simpler I guess but it’s good enough
Love it

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App

*2026-04-20*

I use it mostly for desktop, but I am trying to get out for mobile right now. I’m a huge fan of this app because I really enjoy apps that specialize in one thing and do one thing really well.

Typically for me to view a markdown file I had to use Notion or my IDE, and I’m just not a huge fan of Notion at all. It was a huge headache to have to use it all the time and so now that I can view my documents in One Markdown and just open them from my folder it’s very simple to use, it does exactly the job I need it to and nothing more. I really appreciate this app.

### 5/5 — Awesome application for markdown files!!

*2026-04-11, version 1.6.5*

Love it!!!

### 5/5 — Great for viewing .md files in remote repos

*2026-03-25, version 1.6.6*

I needed a tool to view Markdown files stored on a remote Win11 system with a local Git repo mirrored to Google Drive, as well as files in different Claude Cowork spaces. It does a great job. Highly recommended!
