Another writing app option, liked 😀 **Developer response:** thanks! ### 4/5 — Review *2019-08-29* Like: I like this app alot, use it more often in a hurry way. I like there interface, colour theme and options given in the app. Dislike: However other things don’t like it all first there speed of app gets slow, while using ut and other is hang problem. Otherwise is a good. ### 3/5 — do not support import md *2019-06-05* i have lots existed markdown files.but cannot open in strike.please support import md file ### 3/5 — Chinese please *2019-05-08* Eh, just Chinese required ### 4/5 — Sincerely *2019-04-21* It would be better if this app could run in the iPhone with older iOS versions. And hope more languages could be supported in the upcoming version. ### 4/5 — Still could be better *2019-04-13* I am vert fond of the simple yet powerful design. Yet some more features could be added to make Strike better, and they are: 1. Font size choices. Right now it would be a little bit difficult for me to look at the texts sometimes. 2. Background colour changing. Sometimes light yellow is better for preview. 3. In-app file systems. I know that basing Strike on iCloud folle system might be a predetermined decision. So this one is just personal opinion. Yep. That’s all for my suggestions. Hope Strike could be more favourable! And, the simultaneous Markdown preview is just what I am looking for. Many thanks for making such a great app! **Developer response:** thanks! ### 4/5 — Buona ! *2019-04-13, version 1.1* Fa bene il suo lavoro, mi sembra che alcune critiche siano già state ascoltate e abbiano sistemato le cose. ### 5/5 — Great editor *2019-04-12* One question: how do I know my files are safe from seeing by the developers? ### 5/5 — 出乎意料的好 *2019-04-12* 想要的功能基本都有，基础markdown语法、语法快捷键、字体、重点色、数学公式支持、图片、表格，甚至图表也ok，右侧左滑有目录，支持分屏，导出ok，各种意义上都很齐全了。 有几点建议。 - 斜体语法不管在中文还是英文上都没有任何效果。 - 软件不太稳定感觉，分屏之后单开strike目录会卡在中间，重开文件或者关闭目录时有时内容会乱序，这个希望能优化一下，以后文档内容多了怕会卡崩。 - 导出pdf格式希望也能优化一下，页边距能留出来会更美观一点，还有希望能选择在导出文档前是否添加目录，不然几十上百页的文档会非常难翻页。 另外感谢制作方，这个软件感觉可以替代onenote成为常用笔记整理工具，希望能尽快优化。 ### 3/5 — 提问 *2019-04-11* 请问怎么删除里面的文件。 ### 5/5 — 中国最牛逼的开发者柳毅给我推荐的 *2019-04-11* 光凭我跟柳毅的交情就必须5星！ **Developer response:** thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dropping 5 to 1 stars *2020-11-01* It was working fine until last update. Now I can’t read or write my notes coz everything become gray. ### 1/5 — Not worth a subscription! *2020-01-11* Purchased this app a long time ago and never used it much. Now it’s a subscription? No thanks! Apple Notes is the best anyway and this is NOT worth a yearly fee. ### 1/5 — Stürzt dauerhaft ab! *2019-11-04* Kann die App nicht mehr öffnen... ### 1/5 — Crashed on iOS 13 at iPhone XS *2019-09-25* Can’t even use it. ### 1/5 — Broken *2019-09-15* Since the last update, it won’t remain in the foreground. It keeps slipping into the background. ### 1/5 — 什么垃圾玩意 *2019-04-12* 居然还疯狂被吹 ### 1/5 — Buggy and fragile *2019-02-05* Kept freezing. Confusing interface. And can I really insert only diagrams in a single colour besides black? Waste of money! **Developer response:** The color belong to a document. ### 2/5 — Sehr guter Ansatz, richtig innovativ – aber keine Entwicklung *2020-01-10* Update Anfang 2020: Der Ansatz ist gut, aber es gibt einiges Störendes. Kein Kontakt zum Entwickler möglich, keine Entwicklung, dafür nun auch hier ein Abo! Das passt definitiv nicht zusammen! Alte Rezension 2019 vor der Umstellung auf Abo: Die Möglichkeiten zum Markieren und Zeichnen und Kommentieren im eigenen Text sind nicht nur für einen Texteditor ungewöhnlich! Ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal ist wohl die Outline-Funktion mit dem Gliederungsüberblick (von rechts nach links wischen!) Auch die Tags (Schlagworten), die innerhalb des Textes präzise gesetzt werden können, kenne ich sonst nicht. Sehr hilfreich. Es könnte mit einigen wenigen Verfeinerungen ein äußerst stimmiges Autorenwerkzeug daraus werden. Dann bekäme Ulysses und Scrivener heftige Konkurrenz! Erforderlich wäre dazu aber: - Das Tastaturfeld springt auf und schließt sich bei jedem Scrollen und schafft unnötig Unruhe – Bitte eine Feststellmöglichkeit integrieren! – Die Gliederungsfunktion so erweitern, dass die Kapitel verschoben werden können, also die Reihenfolge geändert werden kann. Das geht bereits in der Desktopversion. - Für die Exportfunktion die Erzeugung einer docx oder Pages-Datei auch in IOS (gibt es bereits in der Desktop Variante) - und dabei dann auch eine Fußnotenfunktion! Vielleicht lässt sich die Textbox zur Fußnote umwandeln? Besser aber beides! - Die Schrift und die Breite des Schriftfeldes sollte größenverstellbar sein! - Die selbstlernende Handschrifterkennungs-Tastatur »WrightPad« ist leider bei Strike (nur dort) so dunkel dargestellt, dass sie fast nicht benutzbar ist. ### 2/5 — Flash off *2019-10-27* I am sorry to find that it will flash off under the new system of iPhone and Mac. ### 2/5 — A fool markdown editor not for geekers *2019-04-30* A fool markdown editor, you know what I mean. Markdown's functionality is implemented by actions in the app. But I know syntax of markdown, actions in the app are not good for me. I prefer writing symbols like #, *. It's hard to use for me. (°ロ°)☝ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfetta!!!!! *2020-08-17, version 1.4* ❤️. ### 5/5 — Ottima *2020-08-17, version 1.4* Super organizzata semplice da usare ### 5/5 — Ottima! *2020-08-17, version 1.4* Con lei organizzo tutte le mie giornate Chiara e intuitiva ### 5/5 — Fantastica app! *2020-08-17, version 1.4* Fantastica app per la scrittura ### 5/5 — Clear and intuitive *2020-04-27* Clear and intuitive ! **Developer response:** thanks! ### 5/5 — Color of Font *2020-04-09* Color of font is too dark in dark mode. **Developer response:** thanks! ### 5/5 — Chinese language *2019-10-10* Please optimize Chinese language support. BR **Developer response:** thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing App For Those Who Write Many Notes *2019-04-28* I typically write between 1500 - 3500 words per day so I need a note app that can handle that workload and maintain continuity between all my devices. Strike does this perfectly! I still primarily use Simple Note because it seamlessly and automatically synchronizes across all devices immediately in real time when writing, but Strike is my second favorite note app because it works almost as fluid as Simple Note. Well done development team! The app is incredible and I hope that you expand it. I purchased it a few months ago and I have absolutely no regrets. Marvelous app which does exactly as it is indeed to. Hoping for encryption and formatting changes in the future to make it more minimalistic and engineered for professional writers. Also, a subscription service might not be a bad idea. I know I would pay $3.99 per month to have specialized features which make my day/writing faster and easier to complete **Developer response:** thanks! ### 5/5 — 什么时候支持中文？ *2019-04-13* 如题。 ### 5/5 — 自己记笔记或者写公式都很方便 *2019-04-13* 之前记笔记，无论是用word还是pages都觉得有些麻烦而且文件比较混乱，这个简单易用，功能比较明确，没有过多的选项，而且可以输入数学公式，很方便，我觉得是非常好的笔记应用 **Developer response:** thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
