Thanks for the notifications, Madabout and Marcos. Having just downloaded the app, my only observation so far is that some user guidance would be welcome.

In my opinion SmartDown is worth $9.99 but not $19.99. It has folding and does tables but does not have an iOS app. IAWriter does not do folding or tables but has a companion iOS app. The iOS bit isn’t important since these are vanilla markdown files. Other than that, both apps are basically the same (iAWriter is prettier, FWIW).

If you’re considering iAWriter, I would look at Ulysses before hand. Ulysses cost a bit more, but it is way more powerful. If you don’t need an iOS version, or a full writing suite, then SmartDown sounds like a good alternative (never tried it).

Having both iAWriter and Ulysses, and now having SmartDown, I agree with the points of view expressed by Paul and Steve above.
