AI trash

Get this garbage ChatGPT out of my writing app. Been using this app for years to write, but no more. This is not okay.

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.

Love this app

Been writing a book for awhile. I love the ease of this app. I’ve tried others this is the best.

Almost perfect!

This is a really fantastic app but it’s missing one thing: Please let me write in ‘preview’ mode. I find the markdown characters distracting and wish I could write, edit and review my text - including syntax & style check modes - with the preview mode enabled. Thanks to the devs for continuous improvement of this app, and especially for not going with a subscription model.

Best in class

Looking for a word processor that helps you focus and isn’t confusing to use? I haven’t found a better app. I use it across all my computers and devices and can’t find anything wrong with it.

Great App, but adding images has become tough

I’ve been a longtime user of iA Writer, and still love its writing features with all the grammar control and suggestions. That being said, I had not used it in a few months, and now on iOS I’m finding including images incredibly difficult. I recall in the past just importing an image, and it would save it in the folder with the .me file and preview fine. But now, the only option appears to be a image content block, but even when I use iOS files to place a .jpg in the same folder, it’s added extra steps and does not work without heavily breaking writing flow.

good but pasting is broken

I work daily with iA Writer and I must say I love it. But, the pasting text is broken. Copying text from iA Writer and pasting it somewhere else works fine, but pasting text often does not work, it pastes nothing. When I reboot my iPad pasting in iA Writer works back again. But after a while it stops working for some reason. How do I solve this? It's quite annoying to have a text editor without a working pasting of text...

The Gold Standard

Still the best product I have ever purchased on the App Store. You can really tell this product comes from a strong company culture. They have been thoughtful and intentional about everything. And they understand the interplay between form and function. Both are exceptional!

Edit in Preview Mode

It’s a good app, I really like focus mode and syntax checking. What is missing is the option to write & edit in a preview mode that hides all the markdown symbols and displays a nicer font. Alternatively, why not allow us to choose from more fonts other than mono/duo/quattro?

Thank You

First i want to thank the Dev for not following the trend of Subscription service, that decision alone has engage more writers to use your platform, Myself included. The Focus mode is pure genius. Plus you don’t over load the application with useless tool. There is a lot i like about this application and of course their is room for improvement. I don’t believe that any one application is perfect but this one here is pretty dam close. I will definitely pass the word to other writers & Coder i know about this application
