The tick box: Again, this is pretty obvious, this will check off the items on your previously mentioned list. So much time saved on formatting dot points! This will insert a list into your document and that’s actually really awesome. The check list icon: This is exactly what you think it is… unless you think it has something that has nothing to do with lists, in which case you’re very wrong. – I: You know what this is, but if I have to say, it’s your italics button. Also, they are just useful for structuring your writing too. If you don’t know what these are you should google them, but basically they are used to structure website pages so search engines can better understand the content on the page. This button basically inserts a markdown for a H1, H2, H3, etc. H1: This indicates HTML titles or Heading Titles. The back arrow: This is just a back button, tap it and it will take you back to whatever is before your cursor (for example, if you’re cursor is sitting on a word and you notice a typo in the word before it, you can hit the back arrow and it will take you back one word). The forward arrow: This will take you to the Templates page where you can preview what your document will look like and you can also export in all the same formats mentioned from this page too. It includes a Night Mode which turns the background of the app black and turns the text white, Focus Mode which lets you tap on a sentence and it will highlight that sentence you want to focus on, and Word Count, which will place a word count at the top of your editable document. View: This will change how you can view your app. Edit: This is the page you’re looking at it’s where you write the things.
File: If you tap on ‘File’, you can start a new document, open a document from a different folder or export the current document you’re editing to Plain Text, HTML, PDF, or Word document. The back arrow: This will take you to your library of documents and has options at the top of the screen for adjusting your settings and starting a new document. Now, to really get the most out of this app you should play around with it yourself, but I’m just going to briefly explain all the bits and pieces you see here. Basically it is a text word document that looks like this on your Android: So what exactly does iA Writer do? For me, the best way I could describe it is like a fancy Memo/Notes app or a really simplified Word app that you can integrate with certain online platforms. I looked into some tutorials to help me figure out some of the more technical features, such as markdown icons and some of the online integration. As I tried using more features and looking into what I could do with the app, I found it’s actually not all that simple at all.
Little did I know ‘simple’ really was the keyword here, in fact, the first time I used iA Writer it seemed too simple.
When I started reading the reviews for iA Writer I was excited, it had high ratings on all the platforms and all the reviews kept emphasizing how brilliant and simple the application was. IA Writer is described as a “simple plain text editor that was designed to provide a focused writing experience for business proposals, essays, white papers, poems, novels, and screenplays.”
