iA Writer

I'm a dedicated iA Writer user, particularly drawn to its excellent cross-platform support for the fountain template. This seamless experience has significantly improved my screenwriting workflow. To further enhance iA Writer's appeal to a wider audience, I believe an "index card view" would be a valuable addition. Imagine a visual representation of your project, where chapters, scenes, or even individual comedy bits are displayed as individual cards. This feature would offer several advantages: * Streamlined Reorganization: Easily rearrange chapters, scenes, or comedy bits with simple drag-and-drop actions. * Enhanced Creative Flow: Gain a new perspective on the overall structure and flow of your work. This intuitive approach would not only improve workflow efficiency for screenwriters and novelists but also significantly benefit comedians seeking to refine the order and pacing of their acts. I'm confident that an index card view would attract a wider audience to iA Writer, solidifying its position as a leading writing application for creatives across various disciplines. I hope iA Writer considers this suggestion as a potential avenue for further enhancing this already exceptional tool.

Since the most recent update I can’t get it iA Writer to read from or write to iCloud. It just continuously says “Updating.” I made sure all settings and permissions were set properly, restarted the app and my iPad, and removed and reinstalled the app. Still nothing. When I try to write and save a new file, I get an error message saying the file doesn’t exist. Oh, well.

Hands down the very best writing app, thank you so much!

I’ve been using this app for a few years, and I love everything about it - the app is clean and simple, and I love that it lets me work on markdown files directly. It’s so nice to see a team with such a great ethos. Please keep going as long as you can <3

This perfectly suited my needs as a touch friendly markdown editor. I was trying to fill my need of a notes app that supports markdown with detailed revision history. Seems simple enough but good luck finding it. But this paired with Working Copy, and Shortcuts Automation is a match made in heaven. The keyboard formatting shortcut customization is also very friendly. Every time I open the app, a shortcut triggers to pull from my remote git repo and every time I close the app it commits the modified files and pushes to the remote repo. Not to mention the standardization of using markdown and being able to add and access the files anywhere across any platform this the best solution for notes IMO.

This app has the best typing latency I’ve ever seen. I cannot think of another app that is as responsive to key presses on iPadOS. The moment I type a key it appears on the screen. Magical. In general it is beautifully designed and carefully considered. What could make it better? 1. Ability to rename a file just by clicking the title. It’s too many clicks to rename right now. 2. When I rename a file update the links from other files so the links are not broken. Obsidian has this and it’s a pretty crucial missing feature. 3. Ability to create text bundles. When I delete an image from my note I don’t want to have to clean up orphaned files. I wish the app would handle this for me while still using an open format like text bundle.

I have zero complaints about this app, it’s been an essential app for me for years. I would like a toggle for the option to open a new document each time you launch the app to make it perfect.

EDIT: THANO YOU! It worked! I think the old method should remain a default so nobody runs into the same problem I did. I never would’ve found that on my own. Thanks! New review: when i tap a folder it doesnt open it to make a note inside it anymore. It just turns it into dropdown, and not even an option to make a note inside the folder. I have to press and hold, which is longer. Please fix this back to the way it was. || Old review: Please low pictures to be inserted in documents stored locally. Thank you! ;-; Also could you maybe allow linking to images via html in documents that are stored locally? I try to link to an image stored on my site but it doesn’t show up in the preview. It’s blank. Thank you. Also it would be nice to allow .docx open format that wordpad uses!

Please support more themes

Such a great and simple app! I need to figure out how to use all the great new tools and functions! Thank you
