What's New in Write 2 Lite

1.5

June 26, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Hi Writers, Good news for you! • File limit is extended to 15 files. • PDF limitation is gone. Unlimited conversion and send as PDF. • Word count limitation is gone too. • We also updated the Dropbox machine inside this app, so you don't have to worry about any "expiring Dropbox" message. You can keep linking your Write 2 Lite to Dropbox perfectly. Happy Writing! *We rebuilt the full version from the ground up and now it is far more advanced than the lite version, however we suggest you to check the full version thoroughly before purchasing it. You can get it here: https://appsto.re/id/K1bAz.i

Write upgrade

I have used the write app on my iPhone for several years. I have always been hesitant to upgrade iOS , but did so. Now write app will not work on my phone. I don’t wish to lose the information in the app. What can be done?

Naja …

Ich finde das voll cool das man von außen Passwort geschützt ist und das man Ordner machen kann und dazu passen sich die Dokumente dann mit dem Namen gleich zum passendem Ordner und so aber ich finde man hat nicht Möglichkeit mit dem Hintergrund und so und man sollte auch sowas wie zeichnen und PDF Notiz haben deswegen gibt es von mir nur 3 Sterne
