Ratings and reviews

In my experience, this app is good to the point that you can write whatever documents you need and switch devices in the middle of writing without have to load anything. My bad experiences is that the keyboard in app keeps messing up, it's only in the app not anywhere else, and it has issues loading and takes a long time to sync at times.

In the latest update, the option to set the text direction (right-to-left or left-to-right, Perso-Arabic vs. Latin, etc.) is removed. Unfortunately, this is a huge setback for typing bilingual texts, and it almost breaks the app and makes it unusable in such cases. The way the automatic text direction detection works relies on "the first word TYPED in a paragraph". If the paragraph is copy-pasted and not Typed, or if the first word of the paragraph is in the second language, it stops working.

I write stories and the go-between from the app to my laptop works really great if im on the go or at home. The two main/major problems I have is that in the app, the keyboard is delayed or slowed and it has decreased the amount of time Ive spent on the app. Ive tried playing with the settings of the keyboard to see if theres a glitch but it keeps lagging. The other issue is at some point the page break doesnt want to "break" anymore, especially if I delete too many characters right before it.
