### 1/5 — Still have ads even if I subscribed

*2020-04-09*

I have purchased a trial subscription, but it still have ads. Uninstalled instantly.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2019-08-27*

Simple and clean UI, great built in features, and it works well with files in Dropbox. Definitely the best free Markdown Editor I've tried.

### 4/5 — Easy to Use, With a Convenient Toolbar

*2019-08-24*

I use this app daily, and I especially appreciate the toolbar that is specifically designed for markdown.

### 5/5 — Very very •nice•

*2018-07-13*

Great app, simple and just amazing , I love it so much. 

Very user friendly 

It’s missing one thing and one thing only : 
- the ability to create folders “directory” 

Other important things 
- the ability to change font in the editor. 
- instead of only showing [ it could show [] same with { ( . So that when a person want to type something inside a [{( . All he has to do is click and [... type with in...] 

Thanks

### 3/5 — Awesome app but doesn't work with hardware keyboards

*2017-05-16*

I have hardware keyboards and iOS hides my on screen keyboard when I have it attached. Unfortunately this app doesn't understand it and continues to think that there is onscreen keyboard which leads to that half of the screen is empty and content shown only in other half of the screen.
