Comments on Simple Markdown for Android
★★★★★Just me· Apr 23, 2021
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 (3 lines) options in top/bottom toolbars when they're added finally.

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, Google Drive), I highly recommend this app. Support the developer.

The markdown preview is solid. However, the text editing and save features are extremely frustrating. Half the time it errors out, the other half it saves to an unknown location rather than overwriting the original, even when using "save as" with a new file name.

I chose this app for integration with Cloud But that doesn't work, really. After save the filename reverts to Untitled.md. Opening a file generates errors as often as not. Cloud now automatically opens .md files in simple markdown, but they always revert to empty file called Untitled.md. I would pay but not for this. I know the Cloud app sucks, so I commiserate, but this is useless with Cloud

It doesn't allow me to save the changes made to existing markdown files. Every time I try saving, it says "an error occurred while saving the file".

Bug : horizontal scrolling brakes if you activate vertical scrolling. Making navigating of tables a torture. Missing find/replace features. Thanks for free app.
