## What is NastyWriter?

Some people on the internet can't even refer to people or things they don't like without gratuitously insulting them. NastyWriter automates this habit by automatically inserting insults before nouns as you are typing. Insults added by NastyWriter are highlighted in peach to distinguish them from your own text, and you can share the insult-ridden text as an image with the highlighting intact. You can remove or change any insults which don't fit in the context, to make sure your stream of nastiness is just right, even when it's just wrong.

If there’s some text you want to nastify again and again, you can add a Siri shortcut to create a new nastified version of it in response to a voice command. In the Shortcuts app, you can also use the 'Nastify' shortcut to add insults to the result of another Siri command, or ask for a random insult.

### 4/5 — Fun app to copy and paste news into :)

*2021-10-16*

I found this app hilarious for the first few hours after I’d copy news articles into it and see how it completely changes the story whilst getting Siri to read the results. 
However the fun quickly wears off as it seems to have an extremely limited vocabulary (I think there’s only about 10 different words/phrases) it would be great if this was expanded in future updates or there was an option to add your own words.
Anyway it was amusing but now the novelty has worn off, I’m hoping this gets updated (I’ll keep my fingers crossed, this app has a lot of potential if your sense of humour is anything like mine)

### 5/5 — Horrificly Amazing App

*2019-09-09*

This app is a lot of fun.  I’m impressed with how intuitive it is.  Very cool, keep up the good work.  Would love to see other versions (nerdy?  Overly happy?)

### 5/5 — This horrendous app is amazing...

*2018-06-28*

It’s great for embellishing your stupid emails and rigged texts with obsolete words that give your otherwise drab statements the angry impact they deserve.
