Ratings and reviews

It took four tries for the delete account process to make it through all the steps, then they said they couldn't delete the account right now. So I wouldn't rely on being able to delete your data at any point. I uninstalled it because the app opens to a screen that says start typing. when you click on the first screen to do so, a new blank screen opens with no cursor and no keyboard, there's no way to type and zero indication of how you might begin. Massive waste of spoons, I'm so irritated.

I like the desktop version (in fact it's my default writing program now), but the app is borderline unusable. To sum up my review in one word, I'd say lag. It's insanely laggy - even just trying to read through a doc, not even typing anything! Though that's not to say it isn't plenty laggy typing and back spacing too. If you write primarily from your phone (or tablet), save yourself the frustration and look anywhere else.

Kind of a pain to be honest. The app is buggy. It jumps around as I type, shifting my line forward or back depending on how it feels. I spend more time to go back and try and fix what it has done than it takes to type what I want. Literally slows me down twice-over. Scrambles my letters, jumps behind punctuation, it also keeps toggling bold at random times. Such a nuisance. On desktop, it's laggy and my tools have disappeared at times which caused pure panic. It's so very inconsistent.
