## Review summary

Users largely praise iWriter Pro for speed, reliability on long Markdown documents, a rich yet clean feature set, and distraction-free writing with strong export options and cloud/file integration. However, several users report crashes/freezes, inconsistent cloud syncing (Dropbox vs iCloud), and missing navigation aids and advanced editing workflows such as a hybrid editor/preview mode and specific editing tools. Overall, it’s a solid value with room for stability improvements and feature enhancements.

### Pros

- Fast, stable, and reliable Markdown editor capable of handling long documents without corruption or odd undos.
- Rich feature set that remains approachable: inline Markdown, Typewriter mode, extensive export formats (PDF, Word, HTML, images), MathJax support, and MultiMarkdown 6.
- Excellent search/replace, powerful editing workflow, and keyboard shortcuts that boost productivity.
- Distraction-free writing experience with a clean UI and solid cloud/file integration (Files app, iCloud/Dropbox).
- Great value and positive reception: affordable and highly regarded writing app.

### Cons

- Crashes/freezes during use or on startup for some users.
- Inconsistent cloud syncing: Dropbox linking can fail even when iCloud/Dropbox are supported by others.
- Lacks a file tree/sidebar for quick navigation and file management.
- Missing advanced editing workflows (hybrid/preview mode) and related features (heading visibility controls, Mark Set, cut region) that some users want.
