Author

The app is built for academic writing, and it is very good for that task. However I use it for most of my writing. It is a such an easy app to use withno unneeded features. The ability to fold sections make it a lot easy to keep on top of long documents. Try the free version first, but this version is worth every penny

I emailed the developer for some support and got a very quick indepth reply, this app is kind on the eyes and perfect for writing books, journals or anything else! i would highly highly recommend!!!

I do find myself opening up Author, more and more, as second-nature now. The way I can map concepts and plug-and-play my articles according to those concepts (once i've made sure they connect and flow tight) is the number one reason I come back to this app. I often get too impressed with my ideas and, as a result, struggle to deliver the impact and the message I want to get across. That's become less of a problem with Author. My only 5-star want would be that the app handles images a little more intuitively. It's fundamentally a writing app so I understand image-handling is not a priority.

Really great tool for thinking and producing gorgeous documents. I particularly like the Concept Map and glossary tool. I look forward to seeing how these functions and Author in general evolves. Thank you also to the Developers for being so responsive to queries and questions. Definitely recommend.

My own needs as a writer on the Mac platform are fairly minimalist. NOTES almost gives me enough, but I tend to hit a wall of frustration. This app is just what I need in terms of a platform that not only facilitates the laying down of the text, but also supports a process of structural plotting that in the past I might have conducted offline, away from the view of my audience.

The power lies in the simplicity and integration of this application. I can, at a click of a button, focus on writing a specific paragraph freeing me from any distractions on screen. The map view lets me freely mind-map my ideas instead of tabbing into another app and write all in the same workspace. In full screen view I can make instant notes in the magic margin, again saving time. Author provides the user with a quick citation function, reducing formatting time. What’s even more remarkable is how it all works seamlessly together (Author-Reader-Liquid). Author is a must purchase app for anyone who writes. I highly recommend! 5*

Author keeps my work very neat and the background colours allow my sight not to get tired easily. Very easy to navigate through and I love the simple layout. The best thing about it: the automatic references and formatting of citations has saved me a lot of time, better than any writing tool I've ever used!

I've used Author for a long time now. As a writer it's the most innovative and useful tool I have ever seen. It practically exudes passion for 'thinking different': it packs in features that are great for everyone and utterly invaluable for academic writing. Take a moment to explore the features and you'll soon realise this is how writing should be done! On top of that, the developer actually responds to queries with care and attention. What more can I say? Get Author and get writing.

app for everyone who likes to have a aesthetic record of content.

Author has been an absolute life safer! It’s really easy to use, it has a clean and simple layout and the best thing about it, it makes citations easy :) I would advise this to all academic writers as it completely changes the citation game. It means I have a lot more time to focus on writing, rather than formatting. Definitely recommend using this app!
