I wrote different parts of the review on my Mac and my iPad, using several different word processors, but OmmWriter for the iPad does not enable you to import documents created by other apps.
And as a result, I’ve been able to write much more quickly, and with more focus, than usual.īut OmmWriter’s missing functions make it impractical, if not impossible, to complete even relatively straightforward writing tasks such as finishing this review in a form suitable for passing on to my editor. In combination with the gentle background music, also provided by the program, the usual temptations-checking email or the latest news on the Web, fiddling around with iTunes, and even writing-related “distractions” like looking up alternative terms in a thesaurus-have been absent. Outside the temperature’s hovering in the low 90s, but my computer screen is filled with a snowy, cloudy landscape interrupted by only a handful of scattered, barren trees. If you’re used to using Microsoft Word, or evenĪpple’s relatively svelte Pages, the list of what’s “missing” could go on and on, but that’s the point: OmmWriter for the iPad, like its Mac counterpart, is designed specifically for when you want to focus on writing, and only writing, and perhaps even convince yourself you’re elsewhere.įor example, I’m writing this review on the Mac version of OmmWriter, which is very similar to its iPad counterpart. Document formatting, beyond tabs and returns.
