11/21/2023 0 Comments Ia writer iphone![]() ![]() Is Writer Pro an impressive, beautiful, and useful piece of software? Absolutely. I understand that you’ve got to draw the “1.0 line” somewhere, and I have a lot of appreciate for opinionated software like iA Writer and Writer Pro. Update 2: The Writer Pro team told me via Twitter that many of these issues will be gone in future updates. Update: Anton Sotkov points out that the keyboard shortcuts in the Mac app work on iOS as well. And so to get access to the custom Editing and Syntax highlighting buttons you have to bring up the entire soft keyboard, tap your options, and then dismiss the soft keyboard. Third, when writing in Writer Pro with a Bluetooth keyboard (as I am now) the custom keyboard row does not persist at the bottom of the screen. But, since Writer Pro on the Mac can access documents you have in Dropbox, if wanted to use Writer Pro on your Mac you could keep it in sync with iOS apps that have access to Dropbox (such as Byword, Editorial, etc.). (You can email individual documents out of the app.)Īnd, from what I can tell, if you use iCloud document syncing for both iA Writer and Writer Pro, the two apps do not have access to one another’s files. And there is no export option to get out all the documents at once. Which means your documents are sandboxed into the app. Secondly, there is no document storage option like iA Writer had (in iA Writer on iOS you could chose iCloud or Dropbox for document syncing). Unfortunately, Writer Pro on iOS has no auto-markdown completion, nor markdown syntax highlighting. So, after poking around and doing some typing, do I find Writer Pro awesome enough to pull me away from my current apps? It’s early to say, but I don’t think so… No other app that I know of has this sort of persnickety focus and structure. ![]() I follow this concept loosely already by keeping all of my notes and ideas in Simplenote and all of my “currently writing” articles in Dropbox (where I use Byword on the Mac and Editorial on the iPad). This is an organization structure I could get behind. The “Writing” section is, more or less, what the whole iA Writer app used to be. Each section has its own typeface and cursor color. There are four “sections” your documents can be slotted in to: Notes, Writing, Editing, Reading. What’s special about Writer Pro is its obsessive focus is on the writing process. Writer Pro has all the simplicity and charm of its predecessor but now applied to the whole workflow of writing process - from idea to done. Is Writer Pro a significant upgrade from iA Writer? Absolutely. But iA Writer has a well-deserved fantastic reputation, and this new version of the app - Writer Pro - promises to take things to the next level. It just came out a few hours ago and so naturally I can’t say too much about it yet. Now, I am, of course, writing this text in Writer Pro on the iPad.
