WARNING: Subscription Required - Buyer beware
I thought this might be what I was looking for: an app for my novel writing that would track my word counts and allow me to organize my writing by chapter/scene/story. The screenshots looked like it fit the bill so I purchased. Never got to see the full app because a subscription is required to use. Did not see that in any reviews or product details. :/

Something screwy here
Looking back on reviews and revisions, this app has been around since 2011 (it's now mid-2016) and both the history and the way things work (or don't work) leaves one with the impression the developer(s) played around with an idea, released it, made a few mods (not necessarily improvements), then abandoned it. The version I'm using on an IPad works to some degree, but there are so many loose ends and no way to get clarification or fixes (try going to the developer website) that it's frustrating to use. Like others have said, it risky to use because your work could disappear and your wouldn't know what happened. Bottom line developer(s) fix it or call it a lost cause and stop wasting people's time.

MAJOR ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES USING VOICEOVER
FFirst of all, one has to turn VO off in order to get into the actual app. The swipe gesture does not work, and there is not an alternate element to tap. The login screen is accessible. After that, the buttons along the bottom have no text labels, making them unusable.
I did push each one, to find out if the change would be self-explanatory. It was not.
Please update this so that VoiceOver users can use it, too.

Best Markdown Writing App on iOS
If you need to write Markdown for let's github or other projects on your phone and you don't want to pull the laptop out or don't have it you can use this and save it for later. The only con would be it doesn't let you upload them anywhere so you pretty much have to copy and paste the text somewhere else to be saved but it does have a nice preview button and includes ghetto syntax on top of the keyboard for easy Markdown writing.

Excellent start!
Purchased the app because I was looking for an iPhone writing app that supported markdown. On that I'd say it works great. A bit sparse on the features at the moment, but I'm sure the developers will continue to innovate as they issue updates.
I'd love to see support for additional fonts, a night time writing mode, sync options using iCloud, Dropbox, etc., and of course a share button with export to PDF.
With some more updates I can see myself giving a full 5 stars.
