Forget SimpleNote and iA Writer, this is the writing app I’ve sworn by for 10 years

Writing is part of me. I’ve been writing since I was 11 years old — nearly three decades at this point. I started with a pen and paper in the 1990s, then switched to a PC in the early 2000s, and eventually found myself writing short novels on my Nokia 3250 XpressMusic using a T9 keypad. Since then, I’ve been writing on my smartphones non-stop, whether it’s fiction, college thesis, tech articles, ideas, thoughts, or anything else, really.

When I switched from Symbian to Android in the early 2010s, the first app I went looking for in the Android Market was a good writing app. I didn’t want anything fancy: simple text support (italics and bold were extras) and a way to synchronize my files with my computer. That was it.
