## Review summary

Reviewers consistently praise EGW Writings for its simple, focused UI (especially the classic version), strong full-text search, a large integrated library, and color-coded highlights with organized folders, plus offline access. However, repeated issues include crashes, login and syncing friction, and content gaps (missing newer books). The newer EGW2 app is viewed unfavorably by many who prefer parity with or replacement by the classic. Color scheme concerns and occasional feature gaps (export, precise paragraph navigation) also recur.

### Pros

- Simple, clean UI and a focus on ease of use, especially in the classic version (praised for being faster and straightforward).
- Strong, fast full-text search and quick reference-based search capability.
- Large, integrated library of Ellen White writings accessible in one app.
- Color-coded highlights with the ability to save highlights into folders for organization.
- Offline access to content and a lighter footprint (does not require downloading large books) as reported by users.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and stability issues (crashes reported across multiple reviews).
- Login/sign-in friction and partial device syncing (need to sign in frequently; issues syncing between devices).
- Preference for the classic app over the newer EGW2 version; many users find the new app less intuitive and desirable to keep the old version available.
- Content gaps / not updated with newer writings (missing newer books and some materials; some content not accessible in the app).
- UI color scheme problems (limited color palette and distasteful color scheme) and desire for a more neutral/plain theme.
