HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (5.3 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Lost data, sync, backup35%

16 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I tried syncing md files with Proton Drive and it corrupted files multiple times even waiting for the sync to finish.
★★★★★ Installed on new iPhone 12 and it syncs to Dropbox great at first but within a day it loses the folder and reverts to /Documents locally and I can't navigate back to Dropbox folders.

Bugs, things not working30%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The editor generally works great. But the current version when interfacing with Dropbox keeps crashing especially when switching files or directories. Very disappointing. Pretty much unusable on my phone.
★★★★★ Doesn't seem to work anymore.
★★★★★ Arguably the best part of MultiMarkdown, and it doesn't work.
No customer support15%

★★★★★ The documentation was unclear, and I wanted to save the next person some time: as of now this app is incompatible with files stored in Google Drive. I have Google Drive linked with my local (iOS) file system, and…
★★★★★ Can't sync files I have in Google drive. Not useful without it.
Price and subscription11%

★★★★★ Unfortunately this is not something you can find out until after you pay for the app, and you can't get a refund.
★★★★★ I have bought that app-thing and installed it on iPhone 7+ and iPad Pro It is in English on my iPhone and in German on my iPad I wrote a note on my iPhone that can be found at once on iCloud Impossible to find that…
★★★★★ Disappointed I can't get my money back now.
Crashes and freezes9%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ But the current version when interfacing with Dropbox keeps crashing especially when switching files or directories.
★★★★★ Now the app crashes every time I open it on a few year old iPad.
★★★★★ This app is too expensive for sloppy crashes like this
Login and account problems4%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I easily connected to my business account but it uses my dedicated “personal” folder.
★★★★★ Hangs entering my Evernote Login on my iPad and gives me an arrow trying to enter login for iCloud.
Wrong or poor results4%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Couldn't find instructions to check if I am doing something wrong, though the interface seems pretty straight-forward.
★★★★★ I mistakenly put it in the wrong place, and when I deleted it, 1Writer deleted every file in my Dropbox except the new 1Writer folder that was now in the correct place.
Worse after an update4%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I was really loving this app until this new update.
★★★★★ I hope the developer can update it and fix the crashing problem as soon as possible.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I wish it were prettier and I could tweak a few visual things, but I'd much rather live with the utilitarian design that works than enjoy an aesthetic app where I can't find anything I saved. 5★, May 8, 2026
  • Like other reviewers, I wish it had toolbar buttons to select the current line and to move the current or selected lines up or down. 4★, Feb 18, 2025
  • When this happens, I need to add it back to the Folders screen (by tapping Add Folder button and choosing the iCloud option) and then set my database folder again as the default folder (by going to Settings > Default… 4★, Aug 28, 2023
  • My needs are a simple text message editor that can handle larger files, which it does really well. 5★, Jan 19, 2023
  • It would be nice if this would work soon without this detour. 3★, Aug 2, 2022
  • I wish i could turn it off. 3★, Jun 14, 2022
  • Great for power users or simple needs alike. 5★, Mar 30, 2021
  • I do however wish they supported Google Drive sync and had an app for Android, but other than those two things I have no complaints. 5★, Mar 9, 2021

Easy to use17%

50 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Simple, stable, and most of all, it respects the file system as my organizational system, it doesn't want me to create a “library” or a “vault” and work within that.
★★★★★ In general navigation isn't as intuitive as aiWriter, and it isn't as feature rich… that said it is more affordable.
★★★★★ Powerful where you need it, simple and elegant everywhere else.
Great support16%

48 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This is the smoothest and most beautiful Markdown editor I've ever seen, and its support for WebDAV is simply perfect!
★★★★★ Upgrading to iOS 26 broke Dropbox support.
★★★★★ I am a longtime SimpleNote user because of its library features and cross platform support, but have become increasingly dissatisfied with it not having a toolbar on iOS and now dealing with CAPTCHA on Windows.

★★★★★ No frills or clutter, fast, stable for years.
★★★★★ Thank you so much for the quick bug fix.

Accurate, great results8%

★★★★★ I did a lot of research for this. I wanted a markdown editor with preview that can sync between devices especially with Dropbox for no subscription. I also wanted to be able to readily share stuff as a nice-looking…
★★★★★ This is the only app I've found that works well enough for note taking in plain text and syncs via Dropbox so I can use vscode for my notetaking on pc.
★★★★★ Works great for syncing with other plaintext editors on my (non-Apple) devices, like vim and obsidian.

Doesn’t Support Dropbox for Teams

Maybe there is a way to easily use this with one of the business versions of Dropbox but it’s not obvious. I easily connected to my business account but it uses my dedicated “personal” folder. I can’t figure out how to get to the shared team folders.

★★★★★May 8, 2026
Tried the rest, came back to the best

Simple, stable, and most of all, it respects the file system as my organizational system, it doesn’t want me to create a “library” or a “vault” and work within that. It just lets me edit text files on my system. I wish it were prettier and I could tweak a few visual things, but I’d much rather live with the utilitarian design that works than enjoy an aesthetic app where I can’t find anything I saved. (Looking at a certain blue and white, opinionated app from a Japanese design firm.)

1Writer hatte ich mal vor geraumer Zeit mir zugelegt, und bin durch Zufall wieder drauf gestoßen. Habe völlig vergessen was für ein guter MD Editor 1Writer ist. Und in der Zwischenzeit hat sich auch eine Menge getan, im positiven Sinne. Bin sehr zufrieden, und kann ihn ruhigen Gewissens weiter empfehlen. 👍

★★★★★Apr 4, 2026

可以找到obsidian的文件夹。不错!

★★★★★Feb 6, 2026
GREAT APP

This is the smoothest and most beautiful Markdown editor I've ever seen, and its support for WebDAV is simply perfect! Does the author have any plans to continue updating it? For example, could it be adapted to the latest iOS and iPadOS 26?

★★★★★Nov 20, 2025
Fantastic little markdown editor

Rock solid, reliable, affordable, and still maintained without feature bloat. Strong integration with the Files app, and it respects my font preferences in Settings. Its flexible organizational features make it an excellent repository for plain text notes of all kinds, regardless of their extension or what app I produced them in.
