Now that would be brilliant in this app if it could be done (someone has placed a bet over here that the developer can't do this, I think otherwise, but I'm always an optimist in these sorts of things).ģ. How tricky would it be to add tables to a page? You know, those little digital critters that have columns and rows and we can place text inside the cells just like Microsoft Office and many open source Word processing apps can, and even put some borders in the right places.

Please.pretty please, could you add footnotes? Yeah, I know I am unusual person in that not everyone does research work like I do, but sometimes I truly wish I could just add some footnotes at the bottom of the page (and/or perhaps at the end of the chapter) and get these footnote numbers to automatically update as I add or remove footnotes just to make my life easier.Ģ. There are only three things I could only wish for in this app (and then I will be dancing in the streets with joy)::ġ. Already I see this app is well on its way to being a serious contender. Call it the App Awards for best app of the year. NOTE: I wonder whether there should be a competition to see who can make the most compact file size app with the most "useful" features possible. the page view shown above).Ī most promising Word processing app I have seen so far and with the potential to do away with Microsoft Word and even the plethora of open source Word processing stuff such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice and other variants, and at a very concise size that I like to see.

The range of documents you can create in Write is staggering: multiple columns, chapters with different layouts, pictures that flow with the text or pictures that text wraps around, drop caps, tables, lists, links within a document or to web pages, borders simple and complex, and a complete toolkit of text formats. Growly Write is something else entirely: fresh, capable, and simple. Or it looks as if it were designed back when computers displayed text in green letters on a black screen.
