Ratings and reviews

For a beta version, this works quite well! However, my documents aren't syncing up properly between my phone and computer. I've done a little bit of editing that doesn't appear when I switch to the printed formatting on mobile. Editing is also extremely laggy for large documents. Needs improvement!

Your most recent update has not yet fully fixed the app. I hope you finish fixing it soon, because it used to work great. It still doesn't respond properly to the Google keyboard as it used to. I still cannot move the cursor along a line by sliding my thumb on the space bar. The act of backspacing to delete text is still super laggy. The copy/cut menu not appearing has been fixed.

I'd been happily using the app almost since it first came out, but this latest update has completely ruined it. It's slow as a snail and virtually all functions (especially copying, pasting and deleting) have become buggy. E.g., if you click on "select all" then it's impossible to do anything with the text you've selected.
