What's New in Wander

1.19

September 16, 2026

A new start screen. Wander's own icon, your recent vaults in one card with each name on a single line, and the four ways in, Create a New Vault, Open a Folder, New Document and Open a Single File, as rows with an info button that explains each one in two sentences. Edit a spreadsheet in its grid. Tap a cell in a .csv or .tsv and type; Return keeps it and moves down, Done puts the keyboard away, and Previous and Next walk the cells. Press and hold a column title to rename it. Until now a tap on a cell did nothing at all. Also in this release: - On an iPad in Split, an edit in the grid shows in the raw text beside it straight away. - A file too large to open whole stays read-only, and a tap on a cell says so instead of doing nothing. - A vault at the root of a cloud provider's folder is named the way Files names it, not by an id.

The Real Deal

I hardly ever write reviews, honestly, but this app almost requires it. A lot of markdown editors are released every single day, and while there are some more polished ones than Wander, none are as feature‑rich while also maintaining simple usefulness. What’s more, it’s incredibly simple and works on every single device I own. Many markdown editors are only on Mac or only on iPhone, but this works well across all of them.

I’ve been using it all day, and it’s really excellent—deserving a full five‑star review once it gets more polished and is developed further. This developer deserves support because it’s one of the only markdown editors I’ve used in the past couple of years that actually does what it says it will and then gets out of your way. I’m quite impressed.

Response from developer

thank you for taking time to write this! motivates me to work on the app even more and make it even better.

Just right for my writing needs

I’ve bounced around lots of apps - Scrivener, Ulysses, ia Writer, Bear, others. I just wanted something that works, does not store my files in a propriety format. Of all of them, I’m hooked on the ‘just works’ that Wanders offers.

Response from developer

thank you for you review, love reading stories like that. working on the app every day and hopefully I can make it even better.

use it daily

use it daily now for all my wiring on mac and ios

Great potential

In fairness maybe only a 3 star app so far. Feature set warrants 5 stars but execution is flawed. Features don’t yet fully work. MD rendering could be better. Hope the developers keep working on it. Can’t beat the price, but really usable rn

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for leaving feedback. Working on the app everyday and have several releases per week, so hopefully all those bugs will be fixed and app will become more polished.

Amazing app. Feature request

Could add a customizable theme option? This is the best markdown editor (feature wise) that I have come across. Thanks

Response from developer
