Simple, clean interface. Allows me to work on my Obsidian file project (a novel) and recognizes those files (compatible markup). My old iPad 3 has life again!!

Love the simple interface and easy preview button. Missing ability to open iCloud based files. I take notes from my computer and sync them on iCloud. Would be great to be able to open/view these for easy reference.

This doesn’t work as a "simple distraction free experience" to me. If you’re describing your app that ludicrous way are you setting your expectations to be simple? How about a simple writing app? is this a simple writing app with rich text? Isn’t that what markdown is? Every developer and their cat … no their cat would get it- every developer and their brother seem to think Markdown is a huge ask, but I’ve been using the Native Apple Notes for years and it’s a simple thing. I would still be using Apple notes, but for a corrupted file and crashing notes, so I am in search of “simple“ notes. Nope. This isn’t simple. I can’t use basic formatting like bold text, strike through, underline, italics… these are the most basic options. You asked for a review before I’d used this absurd app for 10 min so here it is. Is it worth trying for 15 minutes? I don’t know. I don’t know where to go for formatting help. Rest assured this isn’t the only bad app-even those that are said to be glorious & wonderful aren’t. I’ve had conversations with “she who lives in the speaker“ and “she who lives in my devices". They don’t know any more than I do, and they make things up.
