Cool Writer App Reviews

Everything is organized well, and you have a plethora of options such as undo and redo which you dont tend to find on any mobile device. The only think that was confusing to me was how to close the keyboard and key back to the doc list, but even that isnt worth a star down. If youre looking for an absolutely fantastic writing app, this one is worth every cent.

Others might say its helpful or cool or useful but let me say it is JUST THE TOTALIEST BEST APP EVER I am an author and it is JUST THE TOTALIEST BEST APP EVER it is so awesome I just have to keep saying that it is JUST THE TOTALIEST BEST APP EVER and yes I know TOTALIEST isnt a real word

Should definitely download this and give it a try!!! – This has been my “Go To” App for writing, since around 2012, from a simple note, to drafting letters, to reading lengthy PDF files, and MORE! Thanks for all the updates guys!! XOXO!

I was looking for an alternative to the notes app that is pre-installed into my iphone. I am happy I found cool writer. I love this app, it made my notes and memos look pretty and cool. The app is so simple and easy to use. I thank the developer for creating this app. It is the best note taking app. Everyone should use it!

I am completely taken by this App! Let me start with the options. I can choose the background colors, how awesome is that? I can choose my keyboard type including emoticons

This is one of the best note taking and writing apps I have used. As a writer I never know when ideas will strike me, but with this app I am always ready to write them down no matter where I am. It does an excellent job of supporting organization on the fly and even links with drop box and iCloud so I can download them to my computer when its time to work. ss This

I had started a book in Cool Writer then suddenly this window came up wanting to know if I wanted to purchase the $1.99 RTF version. I selected to keep my current purchase, then it got stuck in "Processing" and wouldnt stop. I finally had to delete the app and when I went into my "Purchased Apps" all of them had been deleted. The reason I gave this application a 1 is because there is not a zero.

What I appreciate the most is the ability to make my font as large as I want. It makes it so much easier to see! I also like the tab function. This is a great app!

I love this app and the functionality of this app. My new default note taking app.

I absolutely love this app. The only draw back I found was that there was no way to type with italics. They said that there is a possibility of this feature being added in the future. I sure hope so. Italics is a vital feature for writers, and it will make this app truly the best!

I have had this app since the 2.0 days and this app is still the best there is anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!! This app does everything that I need it to do!!!! I am a researcher and there is NO other app that anyone would ever need!!!!!!!!!!!! Superb job guys!! Keep up the good work!!!!!! Bo. 10/11/2014

I use this like 24/7! I write a ton when Im not in school so this app keeps it organized for me and its so easy to use!

Just what I have been looking for. Very easy to use and will not disappoint.

~ Love it! Edit settings and come out with "Instant Perfection"!

Using with iPod Touch, most recent iOS & it either boots me out of app or freezes. Unusable.

Im thinking these five-star reviews are plants. either that, or the iOS-text-editor-buying public is *very* easy to please. Cool Writer has the unpolished, two-dimensional look-and-feel of apps made by people who arent familiar with Apple products and standards. the interface is awkward and somewhat confusing because it doesnt follow standards long familiar to users of both the iOS and Mac OS. the developers have seen fit to include probably about hundred special fonts with all kinds of strange superscripts and subscripts for most of which I cant imagine anyone would have any use (why, for example, would I ever want to type a character with a tiny lowercase letter h directly above it?), all of which are, again, accessed in an unfamiliar way (though in fairness, I suppose if youre going to include that many alternate character sets, youre going to need to come up with some manageable way of accessing them even if it does break from any existing standard). the process of setting custom colors for the background, the text, and so on is impractical for several reasons and has managed to prevent me from customizing the interface the way I want it. I wanted to set a dark red paper color and type in white text; the white text is available, but for some reason, the dark red color I wanted to apply for my background, while available on the spinner wheels for the other UI elements, is missing from the spinner wheel for the background color. well, alright then: Cool Writer allows you to use a photo for the background, so Ill just take a photo of something thats the color I want my background to be, and apply that. ...nope. attempting to apply a photo causes the app to crash and no photo to appear. and after all this, to add insult to injury, you pay four dollars for this clunky, unpolished app, and then they want you to spend *another* dollar to get "unlimited RTF editing." and I cant tell you anything more about that, because they dont tell me anything about it; I guess you have to run up against some artificial limitation within the app in order to find out what the limitation is and why youd want to remove it. it occurs to me though that its likely that all those wacky special characters they make such a toodoo about are RTF characters, and inaccessible unless you spend that additional dollar...which would make this whole thing very plain bait-and-switch scam. meh…its just a mess, this thing, and it has me once again feeling like I dont ever want to buy anything from the App Store because theres no way to get a refund for the complete wastes of money you sometimes wind up wasting your money on. thanks a lot for that, Apple. thats really awesome of you to take our money and keep it, unconditionally.

CoolWriter is currently the best text editor for iOS, and Ive been through a lot. Great alternative to the quite limited built-in Notes app. I love all the customization options and the fact I can save to my phone or run a web server with a click and host to any computer to transfer files without iTunes or Dropbox. Special sync software isnt always available but a simple web browser usually is, making this a great way to grab your files. Custom toolbars, fonts, margins, colors, and line height make it easy to read and write. A lot of apps lack the ability to set global typographic settings like this; the closest I found was WriteRoom but that seems to have been abandoned. There are a few bugs with CoolWriter regarding autocorrect when deleting, but I contacted the developer who was friendly and quick to reply. He noted he was aware of the issues and was working on them. I use this app daily and while other reviewers are right that it lacks UX polish in places, its hard to be beat for on the go note taking on iPhone.

Love it on my iPad. I can store it on the cloud and write from anywhere. Pretty good format and user interface

This is a great editor! I use it on my iPad 2 with a Zagg keyboard case and its great! I really like that it can be as simple or as feature rich as I want it. Thats great for writing original works like long fiction pieces. Backing up to DropBox or iCloud and being able to share over popular methods is super useful, too. In an iOS environment, your options can be very limited if your app cant access these kinds of functions. Id like to see the ability to add terms to the built in dictionary and an undo function. Search and replace, and automatic substitutions would be nice, but I can live without them when writing a draft and re-edit in a bigger work processor later if need be. This is a great app to invite into your writing life!
