Great update in the good iA Writer tradition

Although technically an update of Writer Pro, the new app is more in line with the original iA Writer. It keeps some of the enhancements of the Pro version (such as syntax analysis, which isn’t for everyone but won’t bother you if you don’t use it), while getting rid of features that, in my opinion, made Pro annoying to the point of being unusable. I’m talking, specifically, of the assumptions Pro made about the writing workflow, which resulted in a specific file-system structure.

Happily, there’s no more of that. You can now organize your iA Writer folder in iCloud any way you like, and the very handy in-app library will pick it up, no matter whether you’re on iOS or Mac.

Also great is the ability to split the window between the edit mode and the preview mode, and adjust the width of each pane. Combine that with El Capitan’s split-screen mode, and you now have a very versatile writing workspace.
