Super

Je suis surprises des commentaires moyens sur cette application alors qu’elle est géniale ! Il y a peut être eu des mis à jour depuis mais en tout cas elle marche parfaitement et est gratuite. Pour écrire c’est super, y’a le conteur de mots, on peut modifier les couleurs d’à peu près tout, après en avoir testé plusieurs c’est la meilleure !

mobiles beschreiben schwierig

ich bin seit neustem auf zoho writer umgestiegen, um eine simple, KI-freie und schnelle lösung zu haben, die mir nicht an jeder ecke ein abo für "Premium Features" andrehen will. grundsätzlich ist die app auch genau das, was ich wollte; mein einziges Problem ist, dass kontinuierliches Bearbeiten EINFACH NICHT FUNKTIONIERT. sobald ich bearbeiten drücke und losschreibe, ist meine tastatur innerhalb von drei sekunden wieder weg und das bearbeiten wieder beendet. sogar mitten im schreibefluss macht es davor nicht halt. wirklich ärgerlich, wenn man mehr als einen buchstaben zur zeit schreiben möchte. bitte bitte fixen, dann bin ich absolut happy mit der app!!

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.

Meh

Ich verwende seit neuestem Zoho Writer an meinem Laptop und da ist das Programm echt super, es gibt eine Dokumentenstruktur, man kann das Layout einstellen und hat einen Haufen Tools die einem zur Verfügung stehen. Kur gesagt ich finde es am Laptop sogar besser als Google Docs. Diese App für Handy und Tablet ist leider eine ganz andere Geschichte. ein super billiger Abklatsch von dem, was man am PC geboten bekommt. und ich verstehe nicht warum man hier nicht das gleiche Angebot bekommen kann wie am PC. Google Docs bekommt das schließlich auch hin.

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.

Gute App

Die App ist super, ein einfaches Schreib Programm , kostenlos und ohne Werbung außerdem der PDF Export ist praktisch. Bugs habe ich jetzt keine gefunden .

Fazit : Super App einfach gehalten und kostenlos

Kein dark mode

das brennt einem ja die Netzhaut weg. Dass sowas in der heutigen Zeit überhaupt noch durch den Review kommt 😵‍💫 Außerdem zu langsam und die Webanwendung zu verspielt. Nicht zu gebrauchen, leider.

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.

Writer app is on its way to greatness but has not reached it yet

Hi
impressive options for text

However for IOS it does not match Web.
No color background in edit mode
and Table of Contents does not provide for Numbering of Chapters!

I am,waiting for next update

Response from developer

Hey Harold, Thanks for your feedback! We've added the option to change text background in the format toolbar (located above the keyboard). As for the Table of Contents feature, it's on our roadmap and will be included in future updates. For any further assistance or inquiries, feel free to reach out to us at ios-support@zohowriter.com.

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.
