User reviews

Almost perfect

I really like the simplicity of this app for getting into focused writing and away from editorial brain. However, after a few days of use the type pad keeps going red for no apparent reason. It's distracting and hard to use. It sometims goes away when I restart the app, which is a big pain when you are trying to work. The app has no help support listed, so I guess I'm stuck hoping it works and this glitch doesn't get worse. So, yes, this does what it says but there's nothing under help to explain why this keeps happening.

Does what it's meant to

This app is simple and does exactly what you expect it to, and I love it. It's helped break me out of a writing rut. The lack of visual frills works for me and helps me focus, and the tracker bar at the bottom is good for both motivation and showing if I'm getting distracted and lagging behind.
