Dropbox or some kind of syncing method would also be welcome for a writing app. Perhaps this can be implemented in the future as well. There also isn't a real "auto-save" feature, so you'll have to save it manually yourself if you want to keep your progress. I would like to see Auto-Correct as an option in OmmWriter. This means that while I'm trying to get used to the keyboard, I am also being slowed down with typos. My biggest gripe though, is that it seems that Auto-Correct is not enabled while in OmmWriter, and I cannot find a way to enable it. Though I do admit, the keyboard does take some time getting used to since we've all probably grown accustomed to the standard iPad keyboard.

I have used OmmWriter on my Mac, and I must say that the transition from Mac to iPad is great. If you need to go back to your document that you're working on, just hit that button at the top left corner of the file manager. Emailing a document will give you the option to send it as a plain text file or as a PDF. Need to trash something? There's that good old fashioned trash can button.īringing up the information view of a document will give you Character and Word count. You can easily switch between documents, rename a document, duplicate, get information, and email a file. The file manager is where you can keep track of all the documents that you've created and edited in OmmWriter. There is also another button that will give you the option to create a new document or to go to a file manager. If sounds bother you, they can be turned completely off. Tapping these will allow you to navigate between QWERTY, QWERTZ, and AZERTY keyboard formats.įrom this settings panel, you can adjust things like font, font size, background image/colors, music, keyboard sounds, and keyboard transparency. Underneath the various buttons, you'll see "QWERTY" and some arrows left and right. This is how you access the settings of OmmWriter. You'll notice that there is a button on the keyboard with a wrench. Now, we're all probably used to the QWERTY layout, but OmmWriter supports two different layouts as well.
The keyboard can also be adjusted to wherever you'd like it to be by dragging it from the top. It's transparent and adds to the calming experience of writing in OmmWriter. It also only appears in landscape mode, which is the preferred way to type on the iPad anyway. The keyboard used in OmmWriter is not the standard iPad keyboard, but rather a custom one that the developers created to compliment the entire experience of using the app. All other distractions are pushed out, including the status bar. It’s just a little snag, but it’s quite noticeable in an UI that’s normally so good and so fluid that you take it for granted.OmmWriter launches into full-screen mode on your iPad immediately. That said, there is just one minor complaint I have about OmmWriter: if you leave the cursor alone for a while to think or grab a Coca Cola of Inspiration, it can take a few seconds for the app to catch up with you when you start typing again. I find it a much bigger treat to sit and type in front of OmmWriter than it is to load up Pages, Word, Writeroom, or Notational Velocity (although finished pieces always end up in NV at the end of the day). I’m not claiming that the minimal UI and extra sound effects make me a better writer, but they certainly help me to enjoy the entire process of writing more. There’s something very interesting about OmmWriter’s approach to creating a writing atmosphere. Some of the new backgrounds are dynamic, adding a new level of digital trippiness to an already (admittedly) alternative application.
I’m quite happy with the purchase so far, and have found the extra features (extra keyboard sound effects, mood music, and backgrounds) well worth the price.
#Ommwriter dana ii free software
I posted on the free version of OmmWriter Dāna a little while ago, but I was so taken with the software that I decided to pick up the paid version ( OmmWriter Dāna II) for an easy $5.00.
