Simple Writing Apps for iPad

Although Pages is a brilliant word processor, some may find it a little expensive, while others may find that there is just too much screen clutter. Last year, an app called iA Writer was launched that decluttered the screen and acted as a simple text editor, enabling writers to jot down their thoughts with clarity. My Writing Desk for iPad treads a similar path.

Given its basic looks, it actually packs quite a punch. You can turn on auto-spell checking if you wish and it is also possible to search through your text and save documents into folders, which can be reordered to suit your own preferences.

This pushes My Writing Desk beyond the realm of a simple text editor. Being able to export via email or PDF and print your document would be expected – having documents open in iBooks, Dropbox and Evernote less so. You can even sync with Google Docs. Overall, this is a wonderful o ering.

Writing a journal can be a rewarding experience but getting started with writing one can be di cult. Q&A Diary – Roller Journal attempts to remedy this by prompting the user with questions to help them write daily entries. The app records stats of your writing progress and can be locked down via a password.
