[iWriters Features]

* Create, open, edit, and modify multiple text documents in parallel, and save each one hierarchically in your memory.
* Writing and editing are so natural - using just your fingers, and the standard onscreen keyboard and spell checker, and autocapitalize sentences help you write. Buttons like a keyboard's arrow keys do come in mighty handy to move an editing cursor to the left and the right.

* For a closer look, zoom in a text up to 500% by pinching out.
* Capable of both landscape and portrait.
* Supports TextExpander touch snippet expansion.

* Send any currently open text, or part of this text directly from iWriters via email.
* Save, open, and sync files onto/from/with the iCloud Drive, the Dropbox Server and the Evernote directly in iWriters.
* You can sync iWriters text files to a Mac or PC manually in iTunes.

* The left edge of the screen is useful. Jump to a particular line by tapping, or scroll up or down very quickly by dragging.
* With a few taps, change the selection to uppercase, lower case, or capitalize, or also change it to double width or the normal width.

* Search & Replace. Search the current text or all files for any word or phrase including diacritic letters. You can search for a text with the Regular Expression as well.

* A variety of text settings. Select which best suits your editing - the text style, including the font, size, color, adjustment, margins, etc.

* Keep the file-compatibility while exchanging files between a Mac, PC, or other devices. You can save all the files remaining their character encodings and New Line codes as you opened each file.
* Choose any you want from LF, CRLF, or CR to the return code, and from ASCII, UTF-8, Western (Windows-1252), or Western (Mac OS Roman) to the character encoding.

* Browse the statistics for the whole text or the current selection, including the number of characters, words, paragraphs, and indicate the line numbers.
* Change the overall look of iWriters by choosing each of the appearance, including the background color, ruled line, and Navigation bar.

### 5/5 — Simple but great

*2025-10-23, version 1.6.2*

Great little word processor that just does the job.
Love the simplicity for what I needed with out the clutter.
Well done guys love your work

### 2/5 — Great app but Dropbox integration is broken

*2023-01-24*

I use this app all the time; it has great customization features and has been my go-to note taker. The key for me has been cloud integration; with my Notes folder on Dropbox, I can access my text files from any platform and device. 

The big problem in recent months is Dropbox integration hasn’t been working, probably due to Dropbox API changes. I have to allow the app access every time I save or open a file! Almost every time I save, I receive an error connecting to Dropbox. I then need to logout in Settings and re-allow iWriters access from the Dropbox app. It takes many steps and is very frustrating; it’s getting to the point where I’m looking for other solutions.

Developers: 
I was willing to pay a few dollars for a cloud-enabled notes app, but found your free app my favorite among many similar paid apps. I wish I could pay to have a working update. And of course I will change my rating to 5 stars if this issue is resolved.

### 5/5 — PERFECT!

*2020-12-18*

I have been looking for months for just one writer app because I got one called Writer and I had been working four weeks on this one story a gun so boring I really like your help with going and I was going to share it to millions people millions oh maybe not millionth I’m using the thing that uses your voice so this may just be a little off let’s go back to the story about this little girl Mila in this monster named Pluto and all this crazy and good stuff and one day I was just working a lot in my moms car working on that instantly oh my big hard work my dream it was just disappeared I leave the app and Angel I cried a lot and I was going to do something really fun and I was at so sad and I feel in the car for so long I was just so upset so I had to look for months and months and months and months and months and more months well maybe not that much months probably just like one or two I don’t know and all that go on it just made me so absent and as a search for you know those months I finally found one who’s writing app thank you so much it’s like the best waiting app I’m at writing app this posting is very crazy. Sorry this is very off and I don’t have the time to fix it. I used the voice thing that types down what it thinks you say.

### 5/5 — Handy plain text editor

*2018-02-23*

I needed a plain text editor that syncs with Dropbox. This app allows me to open files from and save them to Dropbox. However, when I create a new file I can't figure out how to save it to Dropbox. There doesn't seem to be a folder syncing option either. It took a couple minutes to learn the interface but I am pleased with the customization options--thanks much to the developer.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2014-11-29, version 1.3*

Great value (free). It works as claimed. A good amount of customisation is possible. A option to pay for no adds would be nice, also a word count for the open document.

### 1/5 — .. tacky looking ads ..

*2014-01-21*

.. initially looked promising but put of by the ads ..
