Used to be good - crappy now

Byword used to be great. I even bought the add-on. Lately, its infrequently updated and when it is updated (like the latest update), its more likely to not work as well as before.

In the latest update - external keyboard navigation (i.e. pressing things like COMMAND-down_arrow to go down to end of document) dont work. They used to work flawlessly but not anymore. Contacting the developer about this didnt help in any way. There was no response whereas before the developer responded right away.

The last straw is that the current version is unstable. I literally just lost 100 words I just wrote because Byword crashed.

In fact, I was searching for markdown editor in the app store and Byword was the first selection and this prompted me to write a review.

It saddens me that things have gone downhill with Byword. It reflects poorly on the developer and it definitely discourages me from purchasing any new apps.

Message to the developer: If youre going to stop supporting an app, then have the balls to be upfront about it rather than take the app and your users on a slow ride to uselessness.
