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.

All of my stories and data got deleted on updating because it wouldn't allow my to sync. I have the backup files, however there's no way to import them to the app. Been using it for years so I lost a LOT of work.

Very clean app. I love that it's not subscription-based; once you purchase it, there are no additional fees. The newly available desktop version is a great addition, and syncing between the app on my Android phone and my MacBook is seamless.
