The main feature of Pro is not the dark mode, or PDF export, but sync. They have built their own sync service on CloudKit (different from iCloud) which I find to be much better than the sync used by some other apps (such as Ulysses). I also think it is a mistake to see form and function as separate. While that may sometimes be the case, good form often has benefits for function.A function that is difficult to use isn’t very functional! As to what features are there, I think the review I linked to as well as previous comments in this thread make it pretty clear what those functions are. Finally, you needn’t pay $15. You can pay a buck fifty to try it for a month before signing up for an annual subscription. I personally think it is foolish to move software if you are completely satisfied with your current solution, but if you are looking for something better than what you have now, Bear might be worth trying out…
