Ratings and reviews

I LOVE this app so much. I could write on it all day long. Everything is good until I need more than two entries/stories :<,, I can't afford the premium, I'm just that broke. No app can compare to this one's simplicity though, trust me I've downloaded it all. Writing here feels extra good listening to classical music, like I'm some writer from the 18th century reincarnated. Overall, this app is too wonderful that I had to be nerfed by poorness.

I need option to change color because the defualt gray/ silver font is definestly washed out for my vision. another must have for me is font style (Georgia, Bookman Old Stuyle, etcetera) beyond heading format #1,2,3. I also would love if the tabs were labeled or enlarged because I couldn't find the tab row for the longest time to edit the document.

Hello, I am very content with this app which can be used for notes and stories. However, I do have a minor suggestion. Hopefully, you can change the UI so that in order to italicize a word or sentence, you don't have to put // at the beginning and end. It sort of ruins the immersion, even if it doesn't appear on reading mode. There's also the strange occurrence where adding three dots make it float in the middle. Thanks! 😅
