Ratings and reviews

It took four tries for the delete account process to make it through all the steps, then they said they couldn't delete the account right now. So I wouldn't rely on being able to delete your data at any point. I uninstalled it because the app opens to a screen that says start typing. when you click on the first screen to do so, a new blank screen opens with no cursor and no keyboard, there's no way to type and zero indication of how you might begin. Massive waste of spoons, I'm so irritated.

My biggest problem is with editing - I select where I want to start, but as soon as I start typing or deleting, it jumps somewhere else, often to the middle of a word/sentence. I have to press space and then delete for it to allow me to type where I want, and this is obviously a huge impediment to the workflow. Also, not a huge issue, but I can't control line/paragraph spacing. Otherwise, I like it better than most doc editing software and am especially happy with the dark mode option.

No point in installing it! There's an option to create files and open them. Looks like there's a way to access files from Google Docs and others. There's no way to edit or paste text into the file I created, so essentially this app does nothing. At least on my device anyway: Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. I'll find something else, or stick to Google notes, which has been serving me pretty well most of the time, but doesn't have unlimited space per doc, which I need for chapters of a book I'm writing.
