- (2019-11-22) Bridget Arante: I've been using it ever since it came out and I have never used any writing app except for hermit after that. I love it. Hermit is my ideal writing app and anything else I hold in standard to this. Just a quick question, I can't seem to access the website now and all my years of writing are saved in this place, I'm terrified that I wont be able to access them now. Is there an ongoing maintenance that I'm not aware of. Please reply for the sake of the others who also cant seem to access the website.
- (2018-02-05) Susanne Chajon: Good app, but not great. It doesn't do everything it promises. I was assigned one pen pal, and he/she never wrote back, and there doesn't seem to be any recourse for that, such as requesting a different pen pal. Also, I can't figure out how to post my writings to the "Library" so others can read them, so everything I've written is "Private" even though I don't want it to be. It is a nice format for simply writing, but not much more.
- (2017-07-28) Ned Egan: Great App, love using it
- (2017-02-20) Chris Evergreen: Love it.
- (2016-12-10) Andrew Trefethen: After cancelling my premium account I have continued to be charged each month for a product I no longer have nor want. All attempts to contact the person responsible for creating the app to resolve the issue have been met with no reply. Steer clear of this fraudulent application, unless you only intent to use the free version.
- (2016-08-30) Peter Bouman: It's great! I love how i can write stories without being bothered
- (2016-05-29) Sicily: I love it! You can have pen pals and write books and share them anonymously!
- (2016-03-06) Iris Macias: Really am enjoying it!!
- (2016-02-02) Shehzad Akhtar: Loved the concept...!!
- (2016-01-30) Andri A: Okay, I will re-rate this application.
- (2016-01-12) Александр Чижов: Expansion works fine. Everything is simple and clear. No problem, I recommend .
- (2015-10-08) Over 9k (Tim Mower): A fun yet simple book creation of sorts, you can even publish your books on amazon.
- (2015-10-03) Richard Leslie: Formatting is crude/nonexistent. No good for writing anything beyond graffiti. Uh, why not just use Google Docs? Full-featured word processing, easy to organize chapters or books with folders. Easy to export.
- (2015-09-22) Bujhti Bhuta: When I try to use: This webpage is not available ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH A secure connection cannot be established because this site uses an unsupported protocol.

- (2015-08-24) Dennis P: Amazing way I can write my own book
- (2015-08-22) Mindyas: A simple spin on the word processor that takes great advantage of its online platform; publish your books on Amazon or share your story as part of Hermit's published collections, participate in an open writing community, get a pen-pal, etc. A great idea that will surely benefit from even more subscribers.
- (2015-07-22) aryan sabet: very bad .. no font - i need rtl i didnt see it....but the UI wasn.t bad...
- (2015-05-06) Emily H: I nice minimalist writing app. I log in from the actual website and have never lost a thing. I love the organization and interface. I've been using hermit for a while now and have accumulated more than 50 pages at least. Have never been prompted to pay anything, so I'm going to assume it is free...for now.
- (2015-02-26) Faith Fong: Loved it at first and had been using it for a long time. But after the new Update, I was kinda sad because I can't login anymore! What do I do?
- (2014-08-16) sls: Saw the good ratings on here and thought this is what I was looking for. Downloaded the app, opened it and begin to write. When I was done I closed the app seeing that what I had written had been saved. When I went back a few minutes later to continue my writing everything I had done previously was gone. Whatever I clicked to find it just took me back to the log in page. I guess this isn't what I was looking for.
- (2014-05-14) Bianca De Pala: It is amazing, but after you make three pages it becomes paid. ($24 per year, to be exact, as of 2014) But it was really good. Very clean and easy to use.
- (2014-05-01) Perfect for what I wanted. Looks good, no worries about saving, minimalist. Thanks!
- (2013-11-07) Jean-Sebastien Lavoie: forget everything! Just write and develop ideas in a safe place!
