Ratings and reviews

This app is nice and simple. However, it is a data leach. If you do not have unlimited data I would recommend finding a different app. Within the few days that I've had it I went from 2.69 gigs used to 15.23 gigs used. I have never had this happen even with constant YouTube or leaving other writing apps open for weeks. But I've only used this one a couple times a day. I forgot it open for an hour the first day and my data over 5 gigs just from this app. I'd recommend the desktop version instead.

Ooo...okay, I'm in the process of searching for a doc app that has hanging indentation (yk, not indenting the entire paragraph) and when I figured out it was impossible, I went along. However, I noticed it was slow and lagging, and I also noticed there were no settings for...anything, so I was properly blinded for the one minute I used it.

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.
