iA Writer is the first app I'd always install on a new device. Rare example of exceptional software that only gets faster, more reliable and qualitatively better with time. Amazingly the wikilinks-style support is what I've been emulating for about 3 years, as other "second brain" apps were either too slow or too badly made to replace my tool for thought — iA Writer. Supercharged tags and auto-links is an amazing bonus. I know that shipping great work is a pleasure of itself, but still — super w
This is a great app and it's awesome to see a new major version. IA is clearly focused on creating a great, highly focused experience, and their attention to detail is often missing from other notetaking apps. The only thing it's missing (for me) is folder support for Dropbox on mobile (like the Desktop version supports), but I understand it's more complicated on mobile. Still, if you're looking for a dedicated text notes app, this is one of the best.
My go-to app for notes and writing since it was first released. Well done Oliver and team, for continuing to develop it. Hashtags were already awesome, but wikilinks are brilliant for turning your notes library into a real knowledge database, among many other things. I also notice search is a lot faster. I have 12,000 notes and rising, and the last version stuttered on iOS for me when searching. No longer!
The best app running on my Apple devices. Period.
Congratulations on the release!! You guys never disappoint! There’s no better app for writing! It’s a pure joy being able to use the same files with either Obsidian or iA Writer depending on the situation! Would you ever consider adding support for backlinks as well? Hats off to the whole team! Congratulations!
