Ratings and reviews

Great writing app, love the font, and I love how it doesn't show "**___**" when you want to use italics, bold or underlined words. It has a reading mode as well. The quotation marks match the font instead of just being two straight lines like other apps. This is my favorite app, especially since I write all of my books on it. Also, if you're writing a series. It allows you to section off the series into a category. Unlike other apps that only allow you to have one list.

Love it! By far the easiest to use, no clutter or complicated settings. I'd like to see a better way to sort articles though. You can only do it by title or date, which sucks unless you only use numerics. If you name your chapters and edit them at different times, they're gonna get jumbled. Also, when previewing longer chapters, sometimes parts of sentences go missing. When you go into editing it reappears, so it's not actually gone, but it really throws you off when you're trying to proofread.

I've been a lifetime member for a long time. I really do like using the app. There's only one thing I'm using the app for and I try my best to write daily. My only complaint is the lack of an indent option for starting a new paragraph through the android keyboard. If I attach a Bluetooth keyboard, I can easily just use the tab, but for me the function should be there at the push of a button. Without the need of a peripheral.
