With Byword, you have easy access to your files while viewing your documents. However, you can only use one or the other, unlike iA Writer, which allows you to use both simultaneously, as well as store local documents. What if iCloud sync isn’t your thing? There is Dropbox support as well, and this allows you to utilize folders (no folders in iCloud). This is definitely some effortless syncing, which should ease your troubles as you write. Byword also seems to be quick to push changes to other devices if the viewed document is currently being edited. In fact, on the Mac, if you exit out of a document without saving, the changes are pushed to iCloud anyway, so you can easily just pick up where you left off on your iOS device. Changes from your iPhone or iPad are saved quickly, and even from the Mac. So far, the iCloud sync is stable and works. Of course, with iCloud sync, I had to use Byword on my MacBook Pro once again (I’ve had it for a long time, but I simply preferred to do my writing in iA Writer on Mac). Also, it's inevitable to make comparisons between these two apps, since they are considered "rival" apps. However, I can't resist new text editors for iOS, so I was thrilled when I learned that Byword was available once again, after being released on Saturday and then being pulled for less-than-stellar performance relating to iCloud sync (it wasn't ready at the time). If you didn't already know, I was quite enthusiastic about iA Writer that just recently came out with an iPhone version of their app (it was previously iPad only). is a minimalist writing app for your iPhone and iPad with full support for Markdown syntax, along with a companion Mac app (sold separately).
