Bogdan Pavkovic		 Great free app with almost all features - loading from cloud, preview, helping tips for formatting

Alston Chu		 Working markdown editor with dark mode, no ads, and the ability to edit Dropbox files. A rare treat in the modern app ecosystem. Would be nice to have a 'recent files' list, but appears to be under active development.

Josiah Charon		 It is not saving the file I'd like to edit when I close out of the app, and I have autosave enabled. Update: the dev is working on a fix.

John Cervantes		 Have chosen this over iAWriter because Simple Markdown syncs to the OneDrive file system available on my phone perfectly, no setup required. I couldn't work out how to do that with other apps.

Hex Say		 The app does quite literally exactly what it's advertised. However, it's lacking a single feature that we don't realize how we miss until we lose it: scroll sync. Consider adding scroll sync between the two tabs to make navigating and reading the file magnitudinally easier~! Also, there seems to be a bug that ignores all line breaks unless they're triple 1 1 Becomes 1 1 And 1 1 Becomes 1 1

sage_and_pine studios		 This has become my default notetaking app. Easy to navigate and the side by side edit/preview window is great. There is an easy to find markdown guide if you forget how to do something in markdown too. Highly recommend it.

Marc Gilleron		 I use it a lot to write long design notes. Works great most of the time. Wished it had option for font size and type. Encountered the bug where screen rotation sometimes revert the file, hoping it is fixed in latest version. Also, more worrying bug: once in a blue moon, I save changes to an existing file and somehow it overwrites ANOTHER file I edited earlier. Writing this review just as I lost all work in a big file...

Shane Crowley		 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, GoogleDrive), I highly recommend this app. Support the developer.

Pum Walters		 I chose those app for integration with Pcloud But that doesn't work, really. After save the filename reverts to Untitled.md. Opening a file generates errors as often as not. Pcloud 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 Pcloud app sucks so I commiserate, but this is useless with Pcloud

Tab Mix		 Best markdown editor I've found. It's got a simple, dual pane interface and I'm free to see and edit the original code. Everything I tried works great. I hope it never changes.
