Desktop is way better
This app is horrible by comparison to the desktop version. It’s barely usable and has a terrible UI. please update this Zoho!!!
Update Failed
“An error occurred while updating the app. You can use the app only after the error is rectified. Please contact the support team.” Consider yourself contacted. Not much better than the web anyways
App glitches
Really glitchy. I downloaded this as a substitute to Google Docs as my Google account expired, but this has very limited editing. I have to copy and paste from other places to get what I want, and every time I try typing, it either doesn’t work or the keyboard goes away. Haven’t tried the browser version yet, but I wouldn’t recommend the app. I also can’t find the ways to change text size, font, and format, so I am stuck with whatever happens when I paste it in. Really wouldn’t recommend the app.

Please fix this
I used to love this app because it would allow me to reread and review lengthy documents from the comfort of my cell phone. After the last update three weeks ago it now lags and crashes when I try to open larger documents. Help please!
Not What is Should be
This app allows you do work offline but that is all it does. If you need to the formatting features in the online version, they are not there AT ALL. So unless you want to use it as a very basic notebook, this will not do what you want. Very disappointed with the lack of feature available. I hope they work on this soon to improve it. I need an offline version of this to incorporate this product as part of my companies ecosystem.

Not great
Has not worked for me for close to a month. I try to open the app but it says the update failed and I need to contact support. My app is up to date.
Not good
Crashes constantly. Cursor lags, jumps around the document at random, and has no sensitivity to word breaks - tapping a word puts the cursor in the middle of the word and it is very difficult to put it where it needs to go.
Certain functions
It’s not easy to navigate through the menus. Having to save a local copy every time that you want to edit the document on the work drive is a nuisance. If it’s a shared document, it should be available for editing and sharing.
Lost work
It was doing well. Now I’ve noticed some of my writing has gone missing. At least on file has a big chuck of it missing. There have also been issues where it would undo things that random and tell me there were problems. It didn’t used to be that way.
No Apple Pencil support
App crashes every time I use Apple Pencil
Can’t share files
When I try to share a file, I am given an error: “sorry, you do not have permission to share this file/folder”
Who do I need permission from??

Migration error on new account
I cannot see my documents because of a data migration error prompt. How is this possible on a new account. Obviously I need to get to my Work Drive but that option is not available on Mobile. This effectively renders the app entirely useless. What are you people doing? This should never happen for a company of your size. Simply unacceptable.

Amazing app, needs some work still.
I just got this app and love it! Don't get me wrong but this app has a lot of amazing features that I love but I would like for a option to wrap text around a picture as well as change the size of the said picture. The fonts are also more than I’ve had available in a previous app I used before. Though, I do miss the cover page option as well as actual pages.
I hope that this helps make this a better app for everyone.

Updated Review
The iOS version of Zoho Writer has been updated and finally works, but the only three and highly important features it is missing would make it better are: 1. Dark mode, 2. Document List mode (The current view is ugly and unappealing), and 3. plus button to allow users easily create new documents. Hopefully they update their iOS app with these features soon.

Unstable
When it works, it’s great.
I can’t open a doc because the app crashes immediately every time I try

Wheres my documents?
I downloaded the app expecting to be able to work on the go but my documents aren’t even there. There is no way to navigate to them.
Dark mode
So far I’ve loved everything about this app except for its failure to support dark mode. It’s kind of a game changer for me so if they manage to fix that this will be my go to writing platform.
Really underdeveloped
Zoho writer on browser is awesome with many features, but the mobile app has virtually no features. No dark mode, page formatting doesn’t display, text and line spacing are uncomfortably proportioned …
I really like zoho (wanted to stop using google docs because of privacy invasion) but I find the mobile app virtually unusable. I hope it eventually matches the functions of the google docs app

Writer?
Cannot open documents "oops no permission"
Don’t Use This App
I wrote a number of documents in offline mode. Once I was online again the app synced with the cloud and decided that I wasn’t the author of any of my documents any more. So now I can’t access anything. I emailed the in app feedback email address and have heard nothing back. Honestly if I could give lower then one star I would.
