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.

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

Doesn't handle "save as" properly; it will sometimes overwrite the original file as well as saving to the new file.

It crashes and closes after opening an MD file

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
