# The Simple Writing App
iA Writer removes distractions. Giving you a calm, focused, writing space, so you can express yourself clearly.

# Focus
Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, helping you stay in the flow.

# Start
Don’t worry about the format. First, write in plain text. Then preview in HTML. 

# Organize
Search, sort, and quickly swap between documents from different clouds.

# Customize
When you tap and hold a key in the command keyboard, you’re given the chance to choose your own layout. Rearrange your keys, or pick new ones from the extensive list.

# Search
You can open documents and launch frequent actions in no time with the new Quick Search. It lives in the keyboard so it’s always close at hand.

# Work
iA Writer includes an inverted light-on-dark-mode, perfect for working day and night.

# Clean
Spot superfluous adjectives, weak verbs, repetitive nouns, false conjunctions and clean your text of the usual rumble. 

# Shape
Customize your templates and export to WordPress or Medium, HTML, Microsoft Word (.docx), or PDF. 

# 100% Text
Embed links, pictures, tables and text files in plain text and see them in preview.

## iA Writer Reviews in Canada

### ***** "Go-to writing app for 13 years"
13 years and running, reliable as a brick. You will never go back.
-- lachances, 2024-11-24

### ***** "Oversimplified Logo"
Great app, but oversimplification of the logo is part of an annoying trend.
-- Lewis_Mars, 2024-09-17

### ***** "Marvellous App"
I have been searching for a relatively easy and simple word processor that I could use on my iPad. I found much more, this app lets me work on multiple poems and stories during various edits, at the same time. I think this app is brilliant.
-- Toa99, 2024-09-16

### *---- "IA from AI"
I’ve used IA Writer for years. Love it. These new AI tools… I just can’t. I’m disgusted with IA for thinking this was a good idea. You’ve lost my business. I’m uninstalling, and will not be coming back.
-- TylrRgyl, 2024-09-16

### ***** "Stills great, but File support is broken"
Love it! I've tried a bazillion text editors on multiple platforms, and this is my favourite for daily use. Clean interface, auto-fill for file names and lists, good file syncing.
-- will11010, 2024-09-14

### ****- "Very good app…"
… Can be better.

Can you please give us the ability to select lines of text and or words and color code them? Would be super helpful.

Also, margined if we eliminated markup mode and simply wrote and marked up directly and instantly in preview mode. No real need for the back and forth and split screen. The same concept of minimalism and distraction free writing applies if we could just simply write in preview mode.
-- BrettLutchman, 2024-08-16

### *---- "Disappointed"
I am really disappointed to learn that I have to buy the app a second time in order to use on my Mac as well. This is ridiculous given the cost of this text editor. I guess I have to go through the process of requesting a refund now. 😩
-- R0bw, 2024-07-22

### ***** "Love IA writer"
This app is so useful for writing family history and being able to work on several chapters at a time. I have been using it since before the improvements and appreciate them all. It removes all my excuses to not write! The new improvements are a wonderful addition to app! I realized I needed something like that, but never dreamed an app could do all that. I don’t know what I would do without IA writer. It keeps me going even if I don’t feel like writing!
I haven’t tried all the new updates, and they sound wonderful!  I have used and loved this app for so long, I don’t know what I’d do without it.  
I will work at trying the new updates too.
-- Gram jr, 2024-03-12
