IA WRITER FOR IPHONE UPDATE
There was some worry among ia Writer users after Writer Pro was announced that ia Writer would wither, but since then there have been updates, including a significant update to ia Writer’s live Markdown display. However, I have not used Writer Pro and am going only off of their advertisements. It appears to be a very different beast solving very different problems. I don’t think Writer Pro is the pro version of ia Writer. Information Architects also sell an app called Writer Pro. However, ia Writer does also have Dropbox support, which makes it easy to open files from other Markdown apps such as Editorial. But I’m having to look at Dropbox conflicts (with Taskpaper files, mainly, now that Editorial supports Taskpaper) about once a week. The only times I have iCloud synchronization conflicts is when I edit on the iPhone and iPad in areas without any network access since I’m too cheap to buy network access on the iPad, the iPad has no means to synchronize, so that’s really my fault. I have found iCloud and ia Writer to be much more reliable than Dropbox on Editorial for synchronizing documents between devices, especially with the iMac. The custom keyboard bar is one of ia Writer’s standout features. It also puts the dash, asterisk, and pound front-and-center for use in Markdown, characters normally hidden behind going to numbers and then going from numbers to special characters on the default iOS keyboard. It features a bar on the top that contains automatic smart quotes and automatic parentheses. This is especially obvious when using the iPad’s built-in keyboard. What keeps me using ia Writer, besides its presence on all three of my devices, is that it is designed around writing.
IA WRITER FOR IPHONE MAC OS
And of course ia Writer on Mac OS can export to PDF just like any other app and it can copy to HTML, which I will use to paste this into my blog software.Ĭombined with ThisService, ia Writer on the Mac is a great part of my writing workflow. Of course, as a Markdown app the text can be copied exactly into Editorial or any other Markdown app. When I’m done, ia Writer on iOS can export to HTML, PDF, and “formatted text” for pasting into other apps. I use ia Writer on Mac OS probably more than any other app I’m writing this review in it, for example. When I saw that there was a Mac OS version of ia Writer, I immediately picked that up, too it means that I can switch immediately from iPad to iMac for serious writing, and for quick changes use the iPhone on the run. It uses iCloud to seamlessly synchronize between the two devices, as long as I come near a WiFi network on the iPad. Because the same app worked on both the iPad and the iPhone, I ended up using it for simple lists, such as my grocery list. 1 I first picked up ia Writer on the iPad because I needed a good program for writing blog posts on the fly. Most of my non-fiction writing nowadays is in ia Writer. Because ia Writer is available on Mac and iOS, and uses iCloud to sync, it is great for simple lists such as shopping lists.
