Ratings and Reviews
I write more frequently because of this app.
NathanD
I basically threw my money at the computer as soon as I saw a desktop version of iA Writer existed. The iOS version had already captured me, and being able to move between phone and computer was just what I needed. Every feature is built for writers, from easy and beautiful PDF exports to cloud storage to starting with a blank document ready as soon as the program opens. My favorite way to use it is in full-screen mode with Night Mode turned on, nothing but my words in white on a dark screen. I use iA Writer every day, and I’d go so far as to say that it’s made me a more productive writer, just because it has simplified the writing process for me so effectively. (It’s also been good to see it improve over time with smart and continuous updates, and my one and only request for support was answered quickly and solved easily.)
In short: I write more now that I have iA Writer on my machine, and I have never used a more elegant writing app. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

So much better than Ulysses. Plus a reccomendation for IA writer dev team

IA Writer is SO much better than Ulysses in terms of the writing/typing/composition interface. And the settings actually work and make sense. I tried and tried and tried to make Ulysses look half as good as IA writer on the screen, but despite being more expensive, that program is flawed.
★★ Here is a strong reccommendation for the IA Writer dev team however: when there is a conflict between documents (saved versions), it is pretty hard to decipher the differences between them using only the tiny images and timestamps provided. Of course the ideal would be a text comparison (which is easy given we’re dealing with plain text), or at least you should be able to scroll through the contents of each before committing, or having to save them all. I and more than a few users I know have lost valuable revisions because of this.

Excellent at what it is

This is a solid application for plain text editing, with support for the common markdown format. It has a very minimal interface which can help some people (like me) concentrate on what they are writing, which can be a hurdle for a lot of creative or academic endeavors.
I also like that the application does not require any sign-up, sync, or social features. It saves to the file system or iCloud for macOS or a sync client to handle. I do not like my data being held a wide variety of vendors with poor privacy policies, poor export/transition options, or uncertain futures — rather than into my local system/local backup, etc.
I feel like this is a very “pro-consumer/pro-professional” developer and application.
