Need advice on a writing app or website!

Post by AndrewCollar »

What would be a good app or website to use if I wanted to start using my iPad Air as my backup to continue writing when I'm on the go? Microsoft word works for iOS but the cost for it is a bit pricey when I write on my time and not on the time I'm paying for to write. Does anyone have any advice on a good app or website? It would be greatly appreciated ;)

I like Scrivener personally. Not sure if they are available for iOS though. You would have to look. There is a newer app on iOS called Notability that is supposed to be good. I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for the reply! I'll check them out right now! I've been needing one that helps correct grammar and spelling as I am writing. Thanks again!

Notability doesn't seem much better than the iOS app "Pages". Auto correct is compatible but grammar and punctuation isn't working or present within the app. Lately I've been using gingersoftware.com. Seems to be working just fine, just wish I had an all in one app or program compatible with iOS.

Ok. Good to know. Yeah, I wish they had something good. I like Scrivener but even it isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

Yeah I know what you mean. If I ever find an app or a better app. I'll post here on this topic, or start a new one. If you or anyone else finds something better let me know. ^_^

I like using Scrivener and it syncs with some of the iPad apps. I heard that they're coming up with Scrivener for iPad and iPhone so I'm really looking forward to it then I can use it on the go.
