If you want to draft some writing, or
edit what you’ve written, one writing program is far better than
all the others: iA Writer, by Information
architects. Their program adds one more line to the
keyboard, and these keys make all the difference:
These keys make it so much more easy to use a soft keyboard. All Apple apps should have the option of adding this line of keys. The keyboard keys are still large (leaving relatively small space for the text itself when the keyboard is up), but if you’re at all serious about writing, you know that seeing less text can be a benefit, not a hindrance.
This is the program that turns the iPad into a producer, not just a consumer!
Please note that you’ll find many reviews online complaining that this program does not support smart quotes. Well it does now, unless you’re British.

apostrophe, and smart quote signs
