## Review summary

User reviews for Zoho Writer on iOS are dominated by stability and feature-gap issues. Many report crashes, lag, and data loss, plus update and permission problems that interrupt work. A subset praises cross‑platform use, a simple interface, and some fidelity in formatting when it runs, along with offline writing. The mobile app is frequently criticized for lacking essential features (dark mode, track changes, document lists) and for sync and migration problems, though a few users see it as a viable Google Docs alternative when it works.

### Pros

- Cross‑platform availability (multi‑platform) and potential as a mobile writing option.
- Some users find the interface simple and easy to use when the app is functioning.
- Certain formatting/presentation aspects (e.g., center alignment and printing) render correctly on mobile for some users.
- Offline writing capability is available, enabling work without an internet connection (though features may be limited).
- Viewed by some as a viable Google Docs alternative for mobile tasks when it works.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability (crashes when opening large documents, crashes with Apple Pencil).
- Data loss or missing documents/revisions reported by multiple users (some disappear after transfers or app updates).
- Update/install errors and permission/data migration problems that render the app unusable for periods.
- Missing key features compared to web/desktop (no dark mode, no track changes, limited document list/navigation).
- Sync issues with the web version after updates and access/permission problems preventing document access.
