Typewriter for Markdown User Reviews

Top reviews

Math mode does not work

I downloaded it to be able to write simple math markdowns. Eg
$ x + y $
Would not render properly. So basically a garbage app

Open source, good experience, but data loss

I have had a good time with this app, lightweight & usable. No ads. Not feature rich, but complete. I am content with it. The tool bar is not well-designed, button position changes in a weird way in different view on iPad, but ok, ok. However, I did suffer from data loss, losing a few files a few months ago. And two in a row today & yesterday. I am not sure whether it is a IOS bug, but really frustrated by the fact that I lost thousands of words.

I love this writer for Markdown

Best MD editor. Free writer and don't have a ads

Thank you!

Great way to work with Markdown files on the iPad. 👍🏼

So powerful!

It's great that this app can edit files up to 2.2 MB smoothly and it's free! I've tried other free apps and few of them are so smooth.

Minimalistic

Best markdown viewer and editor!

It’s Perfect for a Markdown Newbie Like Me

thank you for making this wonderful app — it’s easy to understand and use — this app should receive more recognition

Best no-frills writing app

You will see next to no distractions on this writing app – I’ve tried to write on this, and so far I love the simplicity of just picking up and using Typewriter.

If you want to be able to focus on writing without straining your eyes from reading your work, I recommend these settings:

- horizontal margins 200-300 (if on iPad) or 250-350 (if on Mac with a big screen)
- set theme to ‘simple adaptive’
- enable counter and set to ‘words’
- enable smart quotes (you will need this for typography reasons when converting for print)

A full 5/5, good job on the app!

Bugs

1. Search: less than three characters, search does not work.

2. Link: When pasting into the URL, you need to operate it twice. The URL content will disappear after pasting is completed.

Excellent

Has quickly become my favourite Markdown tool. I use it daily to write articles and blog posts with it.

I wish the developer was still updating it but even with no apparent updates it is still an amazing tool.

Fantastic Bear 2.0 app/ADA-friendly

I had never heard of this app before. I would’ve come soon. It’s fantastic Markdown editor and it has great feature.

It has the crucial simplicity so many of us needed.

With this app, you can slide the tool bar, and easily make lists and indentations. They aren’t hidden unlike Bear’s newest upgrade.

I am sorry for so much comparison, but I am actually trying to say how great this app. I went ahead and donated because I am so grateful that they allow people to try this app.

This is a really good markdown editor

I don’t know what version of Markdown this editor supports but so far my documents work fine. Typewriter is a minimalist editor. The way to change settings (such as font type and size) and the syntax selection is via the “gear wheel” in the document settings. Most of the formatting controls that you are likely to need are included in the pop up menu bar.

The app is donation ware, and if you do start to use it then a donation is a good way to encourage the developer.

I love it.

This app is very good. it has alot of good features and you can write notes and stories. 5/5

simple and easy to use

this is the third markdown editor i tried for my phone (iphone se 2016). i like the interface, ease of use, and lack of ads. it is a no-frills, lightweight markdown editor that is great for quick md editing.
however, i am deleting it because there is no way to switch off the auto-period when double spacing. manually removing the period for every line break got annoying quick. but this app is perfect for those who like to add a period at every line and minimal interfaces.

Favorite Markdown iOS Editor

Been using +1 year. No complaints whatsoever. Simply does the job fast and clean.

Doesn’t promise to do everything, but absolutely delivers on what it can do.

Recently got a MacBook Pro, curious and not a little excited to try out full sync abilities.

Great job!

Pretty good but…

I wish there was an undo/redo and search & replace feature

Magnificent

This is a superb markdown editor that does most of what one needs. The author is to be thanked greatly.

Amazing

This application is a fantastic Markdown editor with a ton of features built in. Anyone who edits in Markdown should take a look at this.
