User reviews

Great writing app, love the font, and I love how it doesn't show "**___**" when you want to use italics, bold or underlined words. It has a reading mode as well. The quotation marks match the font instead of just being two straight lines like other apps. This is my favorite app, especially since I write all of my books on it. Also, if you're writing a series. It allows you to section off the series into a category. Unlike other apps that only allow you to have one list.

preliminary impressions.... Oh...my...gawds. In dire need of a text editor that approaches WriteMonkey (an app I use on an aging WINdoze laptop), I installed and tried PenCake on a Samsung S6 Lite I received yesterday. I am, thus far, delighted. (The simplicity—providing the essentials—in a beautiful design, sets it apart).

I like simple things, and this app is perfect for me. I don't like things that are too fussy and colorful, so this app is a perfect choice. The premium price is also very cheap so there is no problem, and I have not been blocked by any ads with free version so the experience is quite good. But I also hope you have new improvements with fonts and small tools to help with writing.
