![]() If you enable the Dropbox linking, the app creates a Writer folder in your Dropbox account, and all the documents you store in the app are synced to it. You can indeed link to your Dropbox account painlessly, but you either sync all your iA Writer files, or none of them. The app also offers Dropbox integration, but I find its approach lacking. I found those all useful when using the virtual keyboard, though I too frequently tapped the right arrow at the top edge of the keyboard when I was aiming for the Backspace key. There are virtual keys in place to skip forward and backward one word at a time, a few frequently used punctuation marks, and left and right arrow keys. The on-screen keyboard includes a couple extras atop the iPad’s standard display. Stay Focused: In Focus Mode, iA Writer removes the header, the scroll bar, and other features, graying out all the text except for the three current lines of text you’re writing. It’s obviously not a mode to leave enabled at all times (since it prevents you from navigating the document in full), but it’s a great tool in the writer’s arsenal when you feel blocked as you attempt to finish writing a paragraph or section. It also grays out all the text save for the current three lines of text you’re writing in. Focus mode removes the header, along with the scroll bar, the ability to tap to move the cursor, spellcheck, auto-correction, and copy/paste. ![]() You tap a lock icon in the header to toggle Focus Mode. If singular attention is your goal, a unique Focus Mode may help. The constant time reminder keeps you on task the word count lets you know whether you’re approaching your target. Thus, in many ways, iA Writer is an easily-distracted writer’s dream. ![]()
