An amazing app with superior customer service support

An amazing app with superior customer service support. I bought several accounts for employees but ended up using more than them. The features are magnificient which I can't easily find else where. The interface is beyond user friendliness. I can't wait to see their browser version unfolded.

If You Value your TIME - Then BUY this software.

Ok, 10 tacos coming up! lol.
No. 5 is all that can do.

1. The learning curve is next to nothing. Nice lefthand side, side panel gives guidance as to the key strokes required.
2. I had a slowdown to work out how to footnote/reference but that was overcome by a lightbulb moment - aha. done.
3. No issues with the installation and everything was stable.
4. Opens in 2 screens - popped up, but then worked out where to go.
5. Could have better help and contact links ON THE SOFTWARE itself.
6. The price point is extremely good.
7. This will save you time, i mean buckets of time writing as once away, the formating to references etc is a piece of cake, as in - it lays out everything for you and has layout conventions for the referencing eg. different journal style layouts to meet with your writing requirements and preferences.
8. Thesis style or article, font choices.

I hooked up the Zotero integration but all that's down the track, still working through it.

* Finally, i have given the software a decent play and test run - writing, exporting in different formats, inserting tables, photos etc - and all went well - the footnoting, referencing will be a huge time saver. Happy.

Thanks!

Simple and to the point

You want to write something? Then this editor is for you. Super easy to use just from the keyboard without the need to memorize any shortcuts: A cheatsheet toolbar opens on request to the left and provides you with all the informations you need. Some of the formatting helpers are inspired by Markdown: E.g. you can use # to mark a heading of level 1. In contrast to Markdown, it gets immediatly converted to a heading. I literally don't have to think about anything other than what I want to write.

I'll use it to write copy before archiving it with GDocs in our marketing folders. Copying to a documents into a GDoc works well (eg. headings are recognized as such). The last step to perfection, however, would be if text pasted to a GDoc assumed the document's typography and the OS X dark theme didn't cause a black background on the pasted text. Not sure, if this is even possible, though.

Thank you for the feedback. We are happy you like MonsteWriter. The problem with the dark mode and copy&pasting to Gdoc will be investigated. I was not aware of this problem.

ROAM-like WITHOUT the confusion for newbies

ROAM-like WITHOUT the confusion for newbies
i thoroughly enjoyed using this software
From the moment i redeemed my code, it was easy finding my way to the sign-in page which led to the most 'ez to use' UI. It was absolutely very easy to understand their 'Help Guide'.
it seems like at every turn MonsterWriter offers you just the tools required for what you are currently doing or planning to do as it offers just the right number of options that are available in a very non intrusive and minimilistic way that you dont even notice but the Bottom Line is that all these things are done in the background like your own team of elves and before i knew it i had downloaded a beautiful PDF in no-time with tables that i did not believe i created SO FAST and it looks & feels so NATIVE . u ill not regret buying this piece of art! its so sweet while using it Best $22 bucks ever
