### 3/5 — cant log in to my blog ??

*2021-10-04, version 1.2.1*

pls fix  and add a log in feature

### 3/5 — Currently the mobile app doesn’t have account sign in.

*2020-09-23, version 1.2.1*

No way to sign into the account

### 5/5 — Simplicity

*2019-04-16, version 1.2.1*

Write.as is a great example of sticking to the original concept and updating without overpopulating. My favorite use of this app, besides the offline note-keeping, is the ability to publish something, share the link with someone, and then take it down after they’ve reviewed and/or copied it. As with any service, there are definitely improvements to be made especially with the app, but I’m satisfied because it fulfilled what I was looking for.

### 3/5 — Let me in! 😊

*2019-02-07, version 1.2.1*

Honestly this is great for an MVP! It would be a useful next step to let folks with accounts log in and draft or post to their own blogs. For now, I guess the mobile website and the “post by email” method are our best options on mobile.

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2019-02-05, version 1.2.1*

It does as stated, is reliable (you don’t lose your work... ever!) and very easy to use. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2018-07-08, version 1.2.1*

If you want to write, this app is good for you. Super simple blog engine for writer. Just write.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app!!! Would be nice if...

*2018-02-25, version 1.2*

This app is beautiful. I love the app because I can write as much as I want publish and share post. I recommend this app to anyone who has a passion for blogging. It would really be cool if they added more fonts and the bold feature. Also if they added a journal to this with a passcode as an upgrade feature would really be great.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-01-01, version 1.2*

Simple, clean, easy to understand. Wonderful app.

### 5/5 — Testing several apps

*2017-09-01, version 1.1*

This one is the best so far

### 5/5 — Thank u

*2016-07-20, version 1.1*

### 1/5 — Impossible to log in to account

*2025-12-01, version 1.2.1*

It is impossible to login to your account, even if you’re paying user. Thus, this app is totally useless. You cannot actually post to your account.

### 1/5 — No more updates.

*2022-04-12, version 1.2.1*

No more updates.

### 1/5 — Not all that great

*2021-03-11, version 1.2.1*

I wish there was better feature overall that it is an okayish app.

### 1/5 — impossible to log in on the app !!! (unlike the website)

*2020-09-13, version 1.2.1*

It is wonderful to be able to write and publish freely on the internet and all of this with an identity or on an anonymous blog. 

BUT I cannot log in on the app (I really didn’t find where to do it) so I cannot add any writing to my blog... so I feel like it is useless, I will simply use the website and put it on my homescreen

### 1/5 — Would be a good app but...

*2020-04-12, version 1.2.1*

Would be a good app, however it don’t allow you to log into your write as account, the app has not been updated either in a long time.

### 1/5 — Not clear understanding

*2018-07-28, version 1.2.1*

You write something then hit send but you have no idea where the F it goes?

### 2/5 — Can’t log in to my write.as account

*2020-11-27, version 1.2.1*

What is the point of purely anonymous blogging? Why can’t I login and publish to the write.as blog that I pay for?

### 2/5 — Great site.  App works fine but is ultimately pointless

*2018-07-18, version 1.2.1*

This is a good app as far as it goes, and I’m a huge fan of write.as itself as a platform.  I’ve found the app to be a good if minimalist text editor, and it’s proven to be stable so far.  I also like that it can store multiple drafts, which is something the main site can’t do.

But that’s its only real advantage, other than offline mode, and there are plenty of other text editors on the App Store.  

If you do keep an actual blog under a username, there’s no way to use the app to publish to it.  This is doubly annoying given that paid tiers on the site allow your content to show up on read.write.as (among other things), but the lack of login makes this impossible to take advantage of without using a web browser.  There's no way to pull a post published by the app into your actual blog, which is just as well (from both security and convenience standpoints).

As it stands, you have to log in via Safari, and then copy and paste your whole post over.  This isn’t the end of the world, but it’s a strange design choice.  You can’t even use the share menu in iOS, since the app won’t show it until you’ve published the entry as an anonymous post!

With that being the case, it’s not clear to me why using the app is better than writing in Pages and then copying and pasting into the website via Safari, or just writing the whole post in Safari to begin with.  At least then I can use my actual blog, and can take advantage of the different tiers of paid account.

### 2/5 — Currently not useable ...

*2018-02-24, version 1.2*

Works ok on my iPad but on my iPhone (8) the top 2 lines of text in the editor aren’t visible no matter what font I choose. Not off to a good start. 

Would give it 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ otherwise as it’s very bare bones. No hate, may grow into more capable app and if so will review.

### 3/5 — does what it says BUT

*2023-06-23, version 1.2.1*

There is so way to sign into any writefreely accounts, not even a write.as account. 

It’s purely a one random link per post kind of system. Not really a blogging app.

As far as I can tell, at this point, there are no free apps that let you sign into writefreely accounts and the paid write.as app is only for write.as blogs.
