![]() ![]() I use Pages, TextWrangler, and (rarely these days) Mellel. But the flexibility afforded by Pages makes it the winner on the Mac, not iA Writer. It provides all the flexibility (simple or sophisticated) I need, albeit without one or two nice features found in iA Writer. But I use 24-27" monitors, quite different animals.įrankly, Pages in full screen mode is pretty terrific. I can't.īut, on a MacBook Air iA Writer will no doubt shine pretty well. Further, with a large screen, I would like to adjust the margin sizes, top, bottom and sides. For example, I would like to sometimes view the text in a larger size (my eyes are getting old). The Mac form factor, especially with a large screen, requires more flexibility. On the Mac, with it's very different form factor, iA Writer simply does not shine. I am a big supporter of iA Writer on the iPad, and bought the Mac product. For $9.99 it's a rip off when you can use free alternatives already installed or much better alternatives. It is a first year high school project at best. Last year I donated to OmmWriter Dāna II and never felt cheated for the hard work and a truly unique minimalistic writing tool. I wasn't impressed I was being used as a guinea pig for unfinished software that cost more money than it will ever be worth. IA Writer is as polished as a high school kid's weekend programming project. My applications folder has installed stickies and textedit that offered more stabilty and real world features. I felt cheated after 5 minutes and demanded a refund from apple. How did I like iA Writer? $9.99 for a minimalistic writing tool. I purchased the app after giving up trying to navigate the app store manually and used the search box. Any other email I recieve within seconds but this email from apple took over 30 minutes. Without the validation email I wasn't allowed to login or make purchases yet. Purchasing this app was my first experience with app store or as others call it correctly the crap store.Īfter what seemed like hours I finally got my app store account working correctly with my credit card and the validation email was finally sent to my email box. Who knew.Where to even begin with this adventure into idiot-land. Not having all the bells and whistles of the full-fledged word processors means I’m left to the task of actually writing. I have to say, it really does help me focus. ![]() Sure, many think they’re just another notebook, yet, there’s something about them that make writing more pleasurable.įor those who want the option of displaying different fonts, light or dark-mode backgrounds, slightly greater Markdown markup capabilities and export options, may want to check out Byword. ![]() Like Des said about caring about pen and paper, I love Moleskine notebooks. The interface is clean, there’s just something about it. I jump between the iPad and Mac versions, syncing to Dropbox, building my articles word by word. I thought it was pricey, but I won’t get into that…many articles are already written, specifically about iA Writer’s price. Then the Mac version came out and I debated spending the $17.99. ![]() The extra keyboard row with navigation and frequently used keys is awesome. I purchased the iPad version when it first came out and loved it. ![]()
