![]() Ideas ”on the fly”- Drafts (or Apple Notes)Īny thoughts? Would be very thankful for input/feedback that can help me spend my time being creative instead of confused. Is Drafts just ”overkill”- is iA just as good to put in notes and ideas ”on the fly”? Is iA Writer also a good option to Scrivener in large text projects with many chapters? Or shall I-since I own a copy of each app- keep my novels in Scrivener and the rest uniA? I left Evernote since Apple Notes us enough for my needs. That said: does anyone here use both Scrivener and iA Writer? If so, how do you use them? I tend to use Apple Notes aswell, mainly as a ”library” for texts, ideas and such, even if I write in other apps. What I like about iA Writer is also that I can use iCloud instead of Dropbox-an option I don´t have in Scrivener. I am all-Apple (MacBook pro, iPad 8th gen, iPhone 11) so I don´t need to sync with Android or Microsoft. Also it seems to be good when updating my website ( mainly a WP blog).I also use Drafts for ideas.Īs you might understand this is not the best way to be creative. Recently I bought iA Writer, since Ulysses is too expensive due to the steep subscription cost and iA Writer can post directly to. I spend too much time on the options and too little time on the writing. However I feel that for my short stories, standup routines, non-fiction articles and such, Scrivener confuses me. Sorry guys.I use Scrivener since many years to write on my novel-ideas. I will stick with iA Writer on the iPad, and right-off the Mac version purchase as a bum investment. Word I ditched a long time ago - though I still own the latest MS-Office (also prefer Numbers to Excel, and Keynote to PowerPoint). I use Pages, TextWrangler, and (rarely these days) Mellel. But the flexibility afforded by Pages makes it the winner on the Mac, not iA Writer. It provides all the flexibility (simple or sophisticated) I need, albeit without one or two nice features found in iA Writer. But I use 24-27" monitors, quite different animals.įrankly, Pages in full screen mode is pretty terrific. We released iA Writer 3, the third generation of our writing machine, as a free upgrade to iA Writer Pro. People who use iA Writer enjoy the experience of writing with it, they love its purity. We built apps for Mac, iPhone, Android, and a whole new iA Writer Pro branch. I can't.īut, on a MacBook Air iA Writer will no doubt shine pretty well. Five years ago this month we released iA Writer for iPad. Further, with a large screen, I would like to adjust the margin sizes, top, bottom and sides. For example, I would like to sometimes view the text in a larger size (my eyes are getting old). The Mac form factor, especially with a large screen, requires more flexibility. On the Mac, with it's very different form factor, iA Writer simply does not shine. ![]() I am a big supporter of iA Writer on the iPad, and bought the Mac product. For $9.99 it's a rip off when you can use free alternatives already installed or much better alternatives. It is a first year high school project at best. Last year I donated to OmmWriter Dāna II and never felt cheated for the hard work and a truly unique minimalistic writing tool. ![]() I wasn't impressed I was being used as a guinea pig for unfinished software that cost more money than it will ever be worth. IA Writer is as polished as a high school kid's weekend programming project. My applications folder has installed stickies and textedit that offered more stabilty and real world features. I felt cheated after 5 minutes and demanded a refund from apple. How did I like iA Writer? $9.99 for a minimalistic writing tool. ![]() I purchased the app after giving up trying to navigate the app store manually and used the search box. Any other email I recieve within seconds but this email from apple took over 30 minutes. Without the validation email I wasn't allowed to login or make purchases yet. Purchasing this app was my first experience with app store or as others call it correctly the crap store.Īfter what seemed like hours I finally got my app store account working correctly with my credit card and the validation email was finally sent to my email box. Where to even begin with this adventure into idiot-land. ![]()
