With a user friendly interface, it looks and works really well across both Android and iOS. If you want to build an app that works on both these major platforms, you would have to opt for cross platform mobile development. You may even consider opting for PhoneGap development that will facilitate the process of making apps that work on different platforms.
Coming back to the iA Writer, while the Android version may seem a little dated, it is still a good writing application for the platform. The iOS app comes with additional features like syntax highlighting – so you can see the highlighted verbs, nouns, conjunctions etc. in a document. Moreover, the iOS app provides complete support for iOS 9 features such as split screen. The Android app seems more like a beta at the moment but irrespective of the OS you are on, iA Writer is one of the top choices. 3. Advanced English Dictionary & Thesaurus: As a writer, I can not imagine my life without a dictionary or thesaurus. We need both these tools – delivered via the web or a mobile application. App stores are flooded with apps that promise to help you write well or spell better. However, a good writer knows that Advanced English Dictionary & Thesaurus can surpass majority of similar apps. Fast speed, a good user interface (UI), and a distinct way of searching for words are some of the attributes of this app. Apart from simply displaying a word you have searched for, the app will also show you words related to the one you looked for. It is highly recommended for anyone who needs a thesaurus and dictionary on the move. 4. JotterPad: A cool app for Android users, it has tons of features that make it a must have.
