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.

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.

a great start for an app- I'm able to view and edit the documents I added on my computer on mobile almost immediately, so great sync. one major caveat I've noticed, however, is that large documents(most notably 10,000 words and higher) lag significantly when editing, having at least ten seconds of buffer before what I type ends up on the document. other than that, though, it's a great docs app, and I can't wait to see how it can be improved on more!
