What better review as a write-app as the review of those to write with derbrezensierten App? That’s what I’m doing. This morning I bought iA Writer ofinformation architects , and after a morning and an evening Rumtippen, I think I can make a good picture.

First, one wonders why, of course, rightly there be absolutely still need an app that lets you can compose texts. compose texts that is not necessarily the main purpose of the iPad, considering the more medium-comfortable keyboard situation. I am now but just like before everyone had Bluetooth keyboard.

The makers have those keys without external supply system but also concerned with the app and an optimized keyboard with arrow keys to drive from letter to letter, but also buttons to jump from word to word. This works surprisingly much better than the text magnifier selection of Ios.

Another feature is the display of the “Reading Time” in the top bar next to the text and the short break. Text length can thus be estimated to be much better than by stating the number of characters – the developers on the top bar but also have built.I had something similar bereitsinspiriert through with a blog post by Oliver Reichenstein stijlroyal developed and presented – the Average Reading Time generator .

Another feature is the focus mode called mode that hides the top bar and the text – except for the last three lines – faded, so you can actually concentrate on what is being written.

Principle is exactly the Hauptveresprechen the app – no unnecessary stuff, only the most necessary. This is reflected in the abandonment of such functions such as spell correction, but also reflected in the very functional held typography. Can edit the text that is only in content but not in its form.

Honestly, is right here for me the crux. The app is well done, no doubt, the texts can be synchronized with Dropbox (even though Google Docs would be a connection for me have been more useful), but I write on iPad no texts. I write my lyrics (except for this) on MacBook, just because the unit itself for more convenient.

That may now only affect me, but I make the acquaintance of the like. If texts are written (for university or job), these often have a specific format, are provided with images or tables include – all typical functions of Word, the writers can not.

Perhaps a reader knows of a possible useful application. Until this is found, is a cleverly crafted and solid Writer implemented useless app. Meanwhile I’m waiting on the desktop app for my MacBook.
