App won’t open

I purchased this app a few days ago and the first couple times I used it it seemed to be a fine app, now however it won’t open and is very annoying. It was only a couple bucks but still it should at least work. How do I get a refund?

App Lover

This app is IT. I have bought just about every notebook app and finally... the perfect one. Don’t change a thing!

Was great, now having issues saving/syncing

So, the developer asked me to update the app (which I did) and then update my review. Here is the update: the app is still losing my work. I saw my file with content in it (the thumbnail showed text in it and the file size was 157kb) on my iCloud when I opened Writemator, but when I opened the file in Writemator, it was blank and when I backed out to check the file in the iCloud window again, I watched it zero-out the file size and the thumbnail went blank, too. I have most of this file in another app thankfully, and your results may vary, but I'm going to have to move on to another app, sadly. I miss when this app only supported Dropbox. It was simple but worked perfectly, in my experience, 100% of the time. I really loved this app.My previous review: I haven't used this app since about August of last year when I used it to finish the first draft of my last novel. I am ready to get writing again, so I open Writemator and find that it's all about access files through the Files UI. OK, fine, but I can't get my work to sync to my OneDrive from either my iPad or my iPhone. I had started an outline on my iPad and wanted to continue it on my iPhone a day later only to discover no file had saved from my iPad--and it still hasn't. I've even used the "Export to Cloud Storage" option in the pulldown but it didn't appear to do anything. I ended up having to copy the content I'd go on to write on my iPhone and paste it in Writemator on my iPad using Continuity (I think that's what it's called when you share the clipboard automatically with another Apple device with the same AppleID on it). I appreciate the ability to pull from more cloud services, but it doesn't seem to work! Going to have to stop using Writemator until there is an update that fixes this issue.

Sync and user experience issues

1. Dropbox sync no longer works reliably. The app sometimes syncs, sometimes not. It can require using the “Sync All Now” menu item, which I don’t recall ever needing to use with the original WriteRoom. It just worked.2. The use of the native Files UI is a jarring user experience and redundant with respect to WriteRoom’s original, uncluttered file listing. I would rather turn it off or hide it entirely, but this doesn’t seem to be an option.

Useless

Read the reviews first!as a longtime user of Writeroom on the Mac OS, I was pretty excited to start using this app. Paid $3, downloaded, and saw that it accessed my iCloud Drive seamlessly.. only to discover that the app crashes when trying to open a document. Please either refund my $2.99, or correct the issue. I’m using iOS 15.3.1.

Horrible, lost the text I was editing

Only reason I was using the app was to edit longer texts that I could later paste as plain text in other apps. In the middle of changing through applications, this app simply lost my text. Certainly it was a problem the came up when it tried to sync with a server, but still unforgivable. Lost all the work that I was painfully editing on a phone. Not worth the risk. I’ll even ask for a refund, a first time for me.

Writing a Book

This is my first experience writing a book with a stylus on a swipe keyboard, amd this is because I am increasingly unable to use a computer keyboard. This app has changed my writing proficiency tremendously. It is sophisticated yet simple. Easy to understand. Reliable. I tried other apps, and I experienced the loss of two chapters, over 25,000 words, and received no response from the developer. I'm aggression to mention the name. This app will make your writing experience so much more enjoyable for a small fee!

Crashes immediacy on Sync Now

Purchased the app to replace Writeroom. Linked to Dropbox, authorized. Hit “Sync Now” and the app crashes. Opened again, Settings > Dropbox > Sync Now. Crash.Seems unstable.

Really? Can’t Use Enter/Return Key?

I paid for this app to find that, oddly enough, you can’t hit return/enter to start a new line or paragraph. You have to hit shift+enter. I’ve been typing forever and using a ton of different apps and software over the years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen something like that. It slows down my typing speed TREMENDOUSLY and actually makes the app horrible to use. I wish I could get my money back!
