(Almost) perfect iPad text editor, terrific value

Excellent text/markdown editor, great for short notes and longer pieces alike.

A stand-out feature for me is being able to use a Dropbox folder as a location for all my (markdown) files, so that I can edit the files interchangeably from the iPad or the Mac. The [[wiki-linking]] and #tag support are also good.

The absence of grammar and style checking so-called features are actually a plus for me – their “artificial stupidity” almost always makes my writing worse and just gets in the way. I’m a grown-up: I don’t need an app to tell me what is an adverb.

A couple of things would make it perfect for me:

- a keyboard shortcut to search for & open files in one go (like in Drafts, Obsidian, etc.) – it’s frustrating to have to take your hands off the iPad keyboard and poke at the screen just to open a different file
- a keyboard shortcut to move backwards and forwards though your recently-edited files

Wow, finally a Markdown app that _just works_

After being bound to iA Writer (classic) for a long time, its Dropbox implementation stopped working.

Unfortunately, as a Linux user, I cannot use iCloud to sync my wiki across iOS and my laptop, and so so many iOS apps seem to disregard Dropbox, or have a very poor implementation.

Luckily, 1Writer is _absolutely_ perfect. Looks good, customizable to the tiniest detail, intelligent font rendering, flawless Dropbox support, fairly cheap and none of that subscription model crap. Amazing, I hope its creator keeps updating it, and that more people find out about it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The best writing app on the App Store!

This app is such a joy to use, and has been on my home page ever since I bought it. It's great to be able to pin files to the notification area so the important things are there straight away. A clean, top quality and regularly updated app, there are lots of hidden features that don’t get in the way when you just want to jot something down before forget it, yet there's enough there for serious writing projects. Buy it, you won’t regret it!
