### 1/5 — 2-Years & No Updates

*2026-07-12, version 1.68.0*

Despite having a roadmap on Trello the fact this app has no Z-E-R-O updates in 2 years means it’s likely abandoned - you have been warned.

### 3/5 — 从后台切换到前台出现卡住，无法操作近20秒

*2026-05-18, version 1.68.0*

App功能比较好用 简洁，但有个问题，打开md文件，开启预览模式，然后切换至后台，打开其他app，然后将taio app切换至前台，app无法操作10多秒，然后显示预览界面，最后好像又重新加载了一次。

### 5/5 — great

*2026-05-13, version 1.68.0*

Great app best of its kind

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-31*

Only spoiled by the fact that in no longer works with the latest IOS - 26.4

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-12-22, version 1.68.0*

Great! Sometimes takes a few seconds to load , that’s my only complaint.

### 1/5 — Keine Updates

*2025-12-14*

Seite 2 Jahren keine Updates mehr, ich bezahle, also erwarte ich auch Aktualisierungen. Nur noch ein Stern wert.

### 5/5 — 不再更新了吗？

*2025-11-21, version 1.68.0*

很好的一款软件，不希望就这样埋没了

### 3/5 — Really good – But one annoying bug on ipadOS26

*2025-11-13*

In general really good. But the PDF Preview is broken on iPadOS 26. When opening a pdf it just shows blank. Same for the preview of the exported PDFs.

### 1/5 — iCloud sync error

*2025-11-06*

Auto delete the list and content, haven’t updated for the bug for 2 years, and no reply for this from the developer, which seems like a fraud since I purchased this app on early bird price for lifetime.

### 5/5 — Fingers crossed for an update 🤞

*2025-10-12, version 1.68.0*

I've been subscribed to & using this app ~1.5yrs now and despite the lack of updates in that time it's still one of the most robust & well polished text editing apps available for iOS that I've found (out of the too many I've tied). Hoping this app doesn't fall by the wayside!
