Very Forward thinking

So many writing apps are focused only on the new UI trends. This app is for writers who need functionality and ease. Wonderful work!

Thank you very much for your review, much appreciated!

Wow!

I really didn't think I could find anything that could replace word or open office but I did! I love the features that Author has. The Dynamic view is so helpful, laying it out as a mind map -- I love this tool and I like Author so much I decided to try Liquid Flow and Liquid reader.. so impressive. Truly unique and super powerful and you made it so easy to use -- I love this WP...

Thank you for your very kind words!

What the heck is this?

How does one person get it right, and no other App developer? Cheers to using common sense when making a word processer this intellegent. And it doesnt even have AI, does it!? Kudos. Great job. I'll be emailing the developers shortly to get some pointers myself. P

Thank you!! I hope you like the new Dynamic View feature :-)

Bootstrap your writing

I've been using Liquid Author for a bit and just updated giving me access to Dynamic View. The existing pinch-zoom dynamics already allow easy outline style work but dynamic view adds the ability to add text or headings for which there is as yet no correct location in the linear narrative.

Being able to write and store text ouside the (visble) linear document is a solid new addition. I'm sure Doug would approve.

Thank you for your kind words. We are very excited about where we can develop the Dynamic View, this is only the beginning...

Clean and easy on the eye

A clean word processor with no clutter to get in the way.

I have been using Author on and off since its release. Work forces me to use a certain word processor for compability reason. For my own personal work, studies or just plan writting, I use Author.

I have started to use the dynamic view. At first I was unsure where this would fit intomy work flow, but within no time I fould a slot for it. I creat section heading and then points I need to address within these section. Once the lists are completed I use the dynamic view to link related topics within different sections.

Top marks. Lookinf forward to future releases.

Thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated. As you say, onward to the future!

simple yet powerful

This app is truly a miracle. From my experience, word processors are either too complicated to handle (still do-able,) or far too simple. II've tried a lot of word processes and have yet to try one that meets my needs. Referencing couldnt be any easier, this app is truly unique! And recieved help immediately which almost never happens anywhere else!

Thank you for your kind words! New version soon, then onwards :-)

Buggy

No dark mode for OS below Mojave. Also, after the latest update, text is rendered white instead of black throughout. Itโ€™s like it thinks I am in dark mode, but I am not. This can be changed by clicking the โ€œuse monochromatic colorsโ€ in preferences, although when you go to type a new line, it types out in white again! White on white FTW! Please fix this as itโ€™s unusable in High Sierra.

This issue has now been fixed. Dark mode is native to Mojave and we are using the system settings and do not plan to implement a different dark mode for earlier macOS versions. Sorry this was not clear before, I have updated the listing to reflect this.

Sweet word processor

Who needs another word processor. But this one has some nice features that save some time. For example, if you want to see al the places in your document you discuss a certain thing , you can highlight some text, and hit command f to see each sentence that has that text in your document. You can also quickly see the outline of your document from the headings you have used by squeeze-pinching the track pad. So it has some litle shortcuts that save time. It has more advanced features too, like built-in fucntion to insert book reference from a search window where you can search by title/author of the book. For my work, the content has to eventually end up in Word to share with collegues or format for publication. Copy-paste is free, but there is also an upgrade to this app to save in Word format (and several other formats). I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it can easily save to a WordPress blog. So bottom line, this has some really cool features, but doesnโ€™t yet replace Word for my work documents.

Thank you very much. I hope you will find the export function useful. It is something we will continue to improve, including an update coming very soon, which will handle academic citations even better.

At last!

A simple text editor that does exactly what you want, and no more. Upgrade to pro is inexpensive, and the export features work well.

Thank you. Much appreciated.
