Customer Reviews
Great Text Editor for Notes
Nebulous Notes has become my go to text editor for dealing with Dropbox files.
It let's you edit any text file in any folder on Dropbox, which is quite important.
Great Markdown support, which is also very important.
Highly recommended.
Wonderful app, highly recommend.
This app is undoubtedly great! I've used a few other writing apps, and this one—at least for me—hits the best mix of enabling your writing with its features without distracting you with the app's own quirks.
The ability to change line spacing in the new update is quite appreciated, as is the new font.
What I'd really love would be if this app would use not just Markdown but also MultiMarkdown—I think it'd be the first to do that—but even if a different editor introduced MMD first, I'd stick with this one (provided that MMD was on the horizon). It's the best of the writing apps for my money.
Working great!
I'm finding this notes app to work just great for my needs. I like the layout and the display controls. Especially like the link to Dropbox. Right from the start I've found the app to be solid and easy to use. I have given the app a 5-star rating because it does much of what I need. I'll bet it's going to keep getting better since the developer is responsive and working to keep it growing.
