The app does quite literally exactly what it's advertised. However, it's lacking a single feature that we don't realize how we miss until we lose it: scroll sync. Consider adding scroll sync between the two tabs to make navigating and reading the file magnitudinally easier~! Also, there seems to be a bug that ignores all line breaks unless they're triple 1 1 Becomes 1 1 And 1 1 Becomes 1 1

Clean UI and Markdown preview looks good. Dropbox support would be great.. 🙂 .. and one thing I noticed, that could be fixed: if I edit my document for example in Google Drive and open the app again, the old content is displayed. A check to see if the document on the server is newer would be great.. otherwise you can easily overwrite your changes.. and I do not like so much, that the document that is currently opened in the app is filtered from the list of available document on Google Drive when I click Open..

I use it a lot to write long design notes. Works great most of the time. Wished it had option for font size and type. Encountered the bug where screen rotation sometimes revert the file, hoping it is fixed in latest version. Also, more worrying bug: once in a blue moon, I save changes to an existing file and somehow it overwrites ANOTHER file I edited earlier. Writing this review just as I lost all work in a big file...

I have tried multiple markdown apps on Android, many of which are more fully-featured than this one. Simple Markdown has the essentials of a basic editor for .md files (edit, preview) but is by far the easiest and least fussy to sync with desktop/laptop. If you want to just get started writing on your Android device, without dealing with endless configuration and with an easy method to sync your files (Dropbox, GoogleDrive), I highly recommend this app. Support the developer.

Just “nowhere” me

Nice simple app with 2 panes for editing & PREVIEW of MARKDOWN with file menu. Swiping BODY OF TEXT switches between editor mode & preview mode, like the best Markdown editors do. However, Swiping the LEFT/RIGHT BORDERS TO CENTER does not do anything. These two are completely unused, unlike other good editors. Also unused: top toolbar + bottom toolbar. Also can have 3dot ... and hamburger menus (3lines) options in top/bottom toolbars when they're added finally.

Love the look and feel and the easy preview mode. The only problems I've encountered so far is that when I chose it to handle a file editing intent from another app (PocketGit in this case), it doesn't have to that file, but instead an "autosave.md", and I'm limited to saving the file to downloads or drive (neither of which is what I need)

The best of the free md / txt editors I tried. Very simple and lightweight which is the whole point of md IMHO. The design of the app is a bit weird - always forget the new file/save is in the top right dot menu. But allows a simple dark mode, auto-saves, and allows me to edit and write easily.

Excellent. Minimalist, lightweight and lightning-fast. Has the two features I was seeking: reliable autosave (goodbye IAWriter) and open/edit Google Drive files. I'll give a few more days just to be sure, then surely donate. [UPDATE 3/25/21] Works like a charm - donated. Note to developer: If you set up sponsorship on GitHub let me know - I'll support this great app on an ongoing basis.
