    Everything's going well, but there's this annoying issue. The app underlines random words. It’s frustrating when I long press to highlight and then have to un-underline. This happens after minimizing the app with the cursor on a word. Not ideal for a word processor at all. Also, it'd be great to have an auto-tab feature for line indents. Manually adjusting it for each paragraph gets tedious.

    This writing app is simply the best. It's user-friendly and packed with features. Some options are locked, yet plenty of them are free. Using it feels comfortable. I love the folders, the ability to lock documents, word count, various fonts, and the pinned feature. It works offline too, which is a huge plus. No ads disrupt the experience at all. I highly recommend it. I've been using Writer Journal for a year and plan to stick with it for my novel! 10 out of 10!

    Just started using this app, and it’s been fantastic so far. A couple of small hiccups though. First, at times this app gets really laggy. I can only type a character per second. Strange because other times it works just fine. Not sure what’s causing that. Second, trying to bold text doesn’t work. It just appears as normal text. Feels like others might be encountering this too. Looking forward to a fix, but overall, really enjoying the app!

    This application shines for writing. Its design feels clean and organized, not cluttered at all. It offers a solid range of tools for any writing style, complete with various fonts to choose from. The analysis feature adds another layer of usefulness, tracking characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs. It even gives estimates for reading, writing, and speaking times for your chapters. Plus, saving files is simple. You can export or import your work in multiple formats, including PDF and TXT.

    This app is fantastic for writing and taking notes. It tracks both word count and letter count. I have tried many similar apps, but this one stands out as the best. Occasionally, it might freeze or crash, but that happens only once or twice a month. It's a minor issue compared to its overall performance. I would definitely recommend this app to everyone!

    I was diving into my first memoir, a new adventure for me. Suddenly, I felt the need for an app that could help format everything as I wrote. I searched high and low, experimenting with various options until I discovered Writer Journal. This app let me set all the formatting in advance. It felt liberating to just write while WJ handled the rest. So far, it's been my favorite. Huge thanks to the developers for supporting my journey into writing something that might actually reach others.

    I found an incredible writing app for mobile! I’m still new to writing, but I’m diving into my own novel. This app simplifies the process. I can easily jot down my thoughts and even keep some ideas private. Best part? It’s totally free! I never thought I’d find something this good. If you need a writing app for your phone or computer, this one is a fantastic choice!

    I've just been using the free version for some basic notes. Really enjoying it so far. The design looks neat, and I got used to the layout pretty quickly. One thing I'd love to see is a way to make each note look different from the others. Maybe customizable icons or colored bookmarks would do the trick. That would help a lot in distinguishing each note. Other than that, everything's great!

    That sounds really frustrating. You’re trying to write and the text box keeps jumping around. It must be annoying to lose your spot every few seconds. Using another app for drafting makes sense, but it shouldn’t have to be that way. Finding a stable place to edit should be easier. Hopefully, you can find a fix soon so you can focus on your writing without interruptions.
