# 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 Südafrika

### ***-- "Distracting issues"
I use the app, I value the minimalism, and the buy-it-own-it model, but a simple app should be seamless, especially given the price tag and minimalism. 

This app is not yet seamless. I do not think the implementation to mobile devices (I use iPad Pro 12.9) is complete and would like to see updates in this regard. 

I find myself frequently annoyed, which detracts from the experience. 

The drag and drop text feature frequently lands text where it is not intended. The whole feature is clunky and needs work. (I think some work is going into this.)
The visualisations/animations on drag and drop are not smooth. 
The scrolling during drag and drop is not smooth or intuitive either — not sure if this problem still exists. 
The cut and paste keyboard shortcuts for my external keyboard bug out and stop working, this does not happen in other apps. (It may just be paste.) 
I suggest the developers use the iPad app more as I feel the issues are fairly self-evident when you use it.

Update: 
The number one distracting feature for me right now is that one tapping the screen in focus mode instantly moves the text. This is jarring and disorienting, which should not be the case in focus mode. I suggest it move only when you start typing, and perhaps a slow scroll back to Center.
Also, at the moment, the top of the document contains a large space where no characters exist. This should be removed; the top of the document should be the top.
Ctrl + Y also does not work on external keyboard (Anne Pro 2). 
One touch on text highlights the word, I believe this was fixed in the last update and is improved.

### ***** "Peter Doubell"
Clean and sharp—optimized for the essential.
-- Peter Doubell, 2020-08-06

### ***** "An excellent product, through and through."
Of course, if you expect this to be your only word processor, or even your main one, you are sorely mistaken - it is intentionally built to be devoid of extra distracting functionality and will never replace Word, Pages or Docs. For what I use it for - writing content with fewer distractions then moving it into the appropriate app - it is sublime. Very well done for the iPad Pro optimisation by the way - many apps really fail on that end.
-- PerceptiveEGL, 2020-05-19

### ***** "Special"
Completely changed my experience of typing on a computer. Simple to use and beautifully sparse, your writing sits on the screen in all its majesty. Yes, that is what that gorgeous interface does to me. Best of all: no subscriptions. Buy it once and it is yours forever. Recommended.
-- Gidimeister, 2019-10-03

### ***** "Perfect"
Fantastic app with lots of features behind the beautifully clean interface.
-- Jacob Pretorius, 2018-04-24
