more I currently use LightWay's - iText Express on my macOS, and love the app. The ease of use, speed and considerable set of tools are most helpful. Even though many others do similar things, it's the nuances that matter.(They offer a PRO app, but it’s macOS only and a bit overkill)Unfortunately, using their padOS app on my iPad, (non Apple silicon) doesn’t allow graphics to be imported into the document like the macOS app does.If you like the nuances of LightWay's products, and want to use it on your iPad, you might consider Evernote instead.

Works very well. Creates .txt files that work with just about every program and email.

I wanted a basic "word processing" app for my ipod, one without all the gewgaws that are an attempt to emulate desktop/laptop programs. Don't let the description—obviously English isn't the first language—give you any misgivings. This app does everything you need for writing or note taking on your phone or iPod Touch. It's very simple to grab the finished .txt files and drop them in your word processor for formatting, etc. once you've sync'd in iTunes. One thing I love about this app is that when using a bluetooth keyboard the entire screen is open for what I'm typing, not just three lines above the ipod keyboard. The interface isn't perfectly intuitive, but it takes very little time to figure out how to navigate—open, save, adjust formatting and such. But the basic appearance of this app belies its abilities. There's a lot of adjustment available to the user.The only things I'd like to see in an upgrade are the ability to make folders in which to save files and the ability to open existing files with a double tap.Thanks for writing something so seemingly basic!

This is so good. Better than the built in notes app. Apple should make a agreement with LIGHT WAY and make it the native writing app
