Ratings and reviews

As others have said, it's not an editor, just a reader. But boy what a reader! It renders org files beautifully, and the ui is simple, intuitive, and well thought-out. If you use org to take notes, and want to view them on mobile, this is the best option I've found (and I've tried a lot of things). Semi-hacky workaround for the lack of editing capability: if you sync notes via dropbox or something, keep a text or markdown file in there and edit it with a plaintext editor app, then move it over to an org file later when you're back at the laptop. Not a robust solution but works well for capturing a stray thought while you're away from the desk.

Overall the app looks and feels nice. There seems to be some issues with the notification feature on newer Android Versions. The App developer is very responsive and tries to help.

Update: The developer has done a great job introducing File Links despite the file permission difficulty. - Doesn't support file links. This renders the app useless to me (see Org-Roam) - Instead of a fixed width font I'd like to be able to see the text rendered using a typical text reader font (e.g. see the Firefox Reader Mode/Pocket) + Still in active development
