Ratings and reviews

Simple, minimalist, functional, easy to use and aesthetically gorgeous. I love the new themes colors and fonts. Both, the Android app and the desktop versions are awesome. The only, _only thing_ that's a bit confusing is the way images are used. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but I guess it's because that's the way Markdown handle them. Request: could you guys add a way to crop any image in the body like the one used by the covers? Thank you so much!

Great app! I've been using this for almost a month. This app didn't disappoint me. The minimalist helps me to focus on writing stories and random yaps. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves writing!

i found this app by accident, best accident ever, extremely helpful, easy, clean, it's awesome, my favorite app ever, i never pay for any subscription, but i felt OBLIGATED, to pay for this one.
