User reviews

Excellent markdown reader

I do most of my work at my desktop PC, but I don’t want to be tied to it when reviewing lengthy documents. I have found this to be an excellent solution because I can read markdown documents, which I generate frequently, on my iPad while sitting on my deck and not feel like I’m a slave to my desktop.

Just right

Just a simple, Clean, and beautiful app to display markdown files

Simple and it works

My experience so far has been great. It just opens the file and renders it. Seems lightweight. Exactly what I was looking for.

THIS is a markdown viewer

Other viewers try to do too much (editing) while doing too little (being ugly). This is the one. It has a “recent” list, it has a table of contents, and it displays rendered markdown. Its default styles are similar to GitHub’s (nice-looking and readable) and supports dark and light modes. That’s literally all you need. The only downside is I can’t throw money at the developer for it.
