Ratings and Reviews
Best writing app ever
I've used iA for ages, it's my go-to for writing articles and even books, my todo list, my note taker, and I even I use for interviews, in dark mode, so I can refer to notes without a LIGHT page on my screen reflecting in my glasses on video.
Developer Response ,
First time hearing about this use case in an interview. Very nice!
Perfect
This app is just perfect for writing.
Will need a better selection for rendering/export.
The team is doing an excellent job, and keep the updates free.
Doesn’t do simple things...
I discovered it doesn’t auto tab when starting a new paragraph. For some reason the purchase is inelegible for a refund. Buyer beware!
Developer Response ,
iA Writer is a plain text writing environment optimized for Markdown use. Markdown requires two returns for a paragraph. This can be overwritten with one paragraph in Settings. Auto-indenting paragraphs is not foreseen, but we can see how this could be helpful as a subsetting for single return paragraph writing. We'll add your input to the list of requested features.
