Nicely done.

Online editor seems not loading in mobile Safari browser.

Imho “vector PDF” is going to be confusing for focus group. Just “PDF” is fine.

The app was not made to work on mobile. Being dedicated for writers/authors, I figured that this is something done on the PC. Because of this I did not spent time to optimize the app for mobile. Don't even though how I could fit everything on such a small screen.

Fair enough. Make a splash screen that detects mobile device. “Please use app on desktop. Small screen mobile devices are not supported.” or something similar…
