Editorial App Reviews

Still works! Unfortunately, it is pretty much abandonware.

Didn’t know I needed it till I tried it. Wow.

I use it and Pythonista to learn and to just write. These apps help the days go by and I'm saying that in the best way possible. Thank you.

Really like the way it’s been syncing reliably with DropBox. However, I wish there was an option to sync through iCloud Drive as well.

Fantastic but I would like to have more flexibility for shared file location. The only shared file location is Dropbox but I would like to be able to use iCloud for storage as well for cross device synchronization.

Ignore the low reviews, they're out of date – yes the updates are infrequent, but the app is in good shape for new phones. Check it out, especially Workflows, there's still nothing like it. Play with your docs, is the best way to describe Editorial.

I made the move to TaskPaper recently on MacOS and I’ve been searching for a good solution for editing files on iOS. Turns out I bought Editorial some time ago but never really got into it. It’s a fantastic solution for editing TaskPaper files on iOS.

Covers a lot of ground. I tailor as many of my organization (of info) tasks as I can to Editorial. Nicely behaved. What I can’t do easily I bounce via Dropbox to my main (Linux) machine. Easy because everything’s in plain text. All thumbs up!

Sorry to see this app die. It has been such a huge help for me I wish I could give it six stars. It has performed flawlessly, and though I mainly used it with Markdown on files stored on Dropbox, I was in it almost daily without a single hiccup. That said, it looks like it is no longer maintained, so I am checking out Obsidian. Joplin also appears to be a very capable (and less fiddly) option with good sync. Both are extensible and multi-platform, if like me you are looking for options.

I keep forgetting all that Editorial is capable of. I forgot about the snippet/text expansion capabilities for inserting current date and time, and after spending all day looking for an affordable option on iOS… I realized, Oh right, Editorial does THAT too!!! Amazing!

I cannot imagine a more beautiful or well-designed application for working with Markdown files on iOS. Editing, viewing, and exporting documents feels perfectly natural. For mobile devices I can recommend no other editor more highly than I can this one.

I'm so bummed. This almost did it. It had what I wanted and it works with my decade old iPad. Like finding a unicorn. BUT I got it to to work with files in my Obsidian folder on iCloud. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ICLOUD DRIVE! This ONLY works with DropBox and local storage. Drop box login doesn't even work on my old iPad web browser.

March 2024 update: loses a star because, sadly, it does appear to be abandonware 😕 I used Editorial in the past. I just started using it again today, and I had forgotten the ease with which one can create workflows! It is simply indispensable, and I do hope it will never be abandoned by the creator!!
