“This is a super-clean writing space with a lot of configurability that stays out of sight when you don’t need it.” App Store Review 2020 # STORY Read it here → paper.pro/story # HIGHLIGHTS · Gorgeous writing space · Silky-smooth typing · Deep personalization (Pro) · Markdown or Plain Text · Syncs with iCloud · Integrates with TextExpander · Publishes drafts to Medium, WordPress, Ghost, or Micro.blog · Exports to PDF, HTML, RTF, DOCX, ePub, image, or clipboard · Works seamlessly across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac # PRO FEATURES Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly, though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed, so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment. While trialing Pro Features, you might occasionally see a popup. Simply press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely. Pro Features are either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your iPhones and iPads that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to iPhones and iPads. Macs require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase). The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it, go to the Settings app → Apps → Paper → Purchases → toggle "Show Lifetime Option". If you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license), go to Paper’s page in the App Store and press the rounded button with the price next to the Yearly subscription option (or next to the Lifetime in-app purchase). # BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS & ORGANIZATIONS Businesses, schools, and organizations can use one of the following methods to purchase the Pro version of the app: · Apple Business Manager · Apple School Manager · Volume Purchasing The Pro version of the app can be accessed from this link → paper.pro/get # MARKDOWN FORMATTING SYNTAX # Heading 1 ## Heading 2 ### Heading 3 #### Heading 4 ##### Heading 5 ###### Heading 6 **Bold** __Bold__ *Italic* _Italic_ ~Underline~ ~~Strikethrough~~ ==Highlight== ::Highlight:: `Inline Code` ``` Code Block ``` [Link Text](http://paper.pro) ![Alt Text](http://image.jpeg) - Bulleted List - Bulleted List - Nested Bulleted List * Bulleted List * Bulleted List * Nested Bulleted List 1.

Select "Print" from the menu. · In the document editor: Tap the title of the document in the top bar. Select "Print" from the menu. ## Can I draw in the app? No. Paper is purely a plain-text editor. ## Can I add pictures? You can only link to public images on the Web. ## Can I password-protect my notes? No. ## Paper changes the font when I switch between alphabetic and non-alphabetic keyboards. How do I prevent it? · Change the keyboard to a non-alphabetic one (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.). · Tap the "Settings" button in the top right corner. · Under the "Font" submenu, toggle "Keep for ABC Keyboards". ## Need more help? You can reach me via the in-app chat → "Settings" button in the corner → "Chat with the Maker" # TERMS OF USE https://paper.pro/terms-of-use

I don't mind not having the type writing sounds, but they don't work on my end for some reason. The only real complaint I have otherwise is that I wish there were more fonts!Onto why I gave it five stars? It’s a great app, fantastic in formatting, and extremely aesthetically pleasing (as well as entirely customizable)The pro features, for me, were worth the purchase. I’m stuck with monthly until I save enough for the lifetime, but the fact that it lets you mess around with and test pro features instead of locking them behind a paywall (a reason I do not like a lot of apps. They don't let you try the features until you start a subscription or trial you may very well forget about, if it even gives yo a trial) is extremely nice. I was looking for an app that looks and feels sleek so I can sit and write, but I found this! Fully customizable. Gotta say, I like it a lot more than I thought I would. My complaints are minuscule. You don't even have to necessarily trust me on it: jump in and try it yourself. It lets you test every single feature it has.

Great app; just can’t afford the premium feature at $100.

I have tried more than 20 different plain text editors from the App Store and this is the best. I just need a plain text editor that can perform search and this does it very well. Many plain text editors don’t have a search function. One app that has the search function requires 3 clicks before you can start searching. Other text editors have fonts that are so tiny (which can’t be adjusted) that it really strains the eye to read my notes. I don’t have any use for most of the premium features since I just want a plain text editor with search function. The only thing I wasn’t happy with was the 1.5 line spacing. If the default was single line spacing, this would be the perfect app for me. And I’m happy to pay a few dollars just for this function. Would Mihhail consider different pricing for different features? For example, a one-off purchase for plain text features such as font size, type and line spacing?

Perfect Text Editor—only one (small) issue!

I downloaded this app and really adore it. All the great features that SHOULD come with a plain text editor are right here. I’ve been a long time supporter of Google Docs because of how accessible it is, but writing more than 15k+ words bloats the document and creates lag, which is extremely frustrating for authors like myself. Paper really comes in clutch, as I have been seeking out a plain editor for ages. What I really appreciate is the fact that you can use the Pro features as long as you’d like. Of course, there’s the pop up message that appears now and again but it still allows you to get a feel for the app just the same. With Pro, you get so much more than most other editors. I LOVE this app. But the only problem (for me) is the premium price point. I support the developer’s choice to price the Lifetime purchase at 99 dollars, as Apple pays meager amounts and Paper’s dev certainly deserves it—he‘s very responsive, attentive to issues, and has put out a very good product—yet I have a hard time justifying it at the moment because it is such a big purchase (and I can’t handle another subscription right now.) That aside, if you are willing to pay $100 for a perfect, all-inclusive text editor, this is THE app. Of course, you can use the app without the pro features at no cost, but if you are an author and need these features, I would highly recommend at least using the un-timed trial, as it shows you what you’re getting with premium.

Updated: The developer of this app is incredibly responsive and immediately set to figuring out what was going on after my initial review where i had some lagging issues with certain features of the app. With in a week they had the problem fixed and now the app works wonderfully! Not only is it the best app I've found for minimal no distraction writing, I am glad to know the developer provides a direct way to talk to them if there is ever any problems that is built right into the app. The premium features cost a decent amount, but for me, it was totally worth it. You are able to customize your writing experience, which is something I value greatly to keep me focused. You are also allowed to try out the features for as long as you like before buying, which is another great plus.
