It would be much more effective and usable is one didn't have to manually start the process. That took some fiddling about to make it work and once I did figure it out it didn't seem like a strong benefit to me over other list making apps. To make it work I needed a total of 10 key presses to start a new task. Once again, clever, but this feature doesn't come off as well. There's also a not as well thought out feature that allows you to create list items that you can then toggle by touching the screen. That's a nice touch (and it makes it easier to add parenthetical phrases like this). Simply touch the parentheses, type, and touch it again and you get both proper open and close characters. Along with the sliding cursor bar the app includes smart quotes and parentheses in the editing bar. Letterspace includes a few other clever features. I found the app to be well designed and easy on read and use. It's brilliant, simple, and very effective. Using it for the first time was one of those, "of course!" moments. This is exactly how editing should work with touch devices. The moment I started using sliding approach to move the cursor I fell in love with it. The cursor moves easily and quickly back and forth across your text. That's nice, but the real magic happens when you type a line or two of text and then run your finger across this bar. When you create a new document you are presented with not only the blank page and the virtual keyboard, but they are separated by a and a few useful characters not displayed on the basic iOS keyboard. Letterspace really is beautifully designed. The base app is free, but has an In-App purchase option of additional fonts and colors for $4.99. Letterspace requires iOS 7.1 or later, is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Letterspace, a clever new iOS app, solves this problem elegantly. At this moment I have six separate writing apps on my iPad and the all share the same problem: if you want to edit or change a word or phrase, you are required to touch the spot on the screen near where you want to "insert" the cursor and then fiddle around, moving your finger around to try and get to the precise spot that you want. We highly recommend it for all users.It's easy to write on an iPad or iPhone, but editing and revising, not so much. Despite its lack of a viable help option, we think most users will be able to find their way around without any issues. Letterspace is an elegant solution for taking notes and keeping track of important tasks. The website did offer a few explanations of its features, but they were geared toward the mobile version of that app. It offers a link to its website, but nothing else in terms of an FAQ. Letterspace for Mac didn't have much in terms of a help feature. Unhelpful help: We always like to check out an app's help feature to find tips and tricks. We closed out of Letterspace without purposely saving, and our work was right where we left it when we reopened it. Clicking inside of the brackets adds an "X" to mark the task as completed.Īutomatic save: Letterspace doesn't work in the same way as, say, Microsoft Word, where you have to save or risk losing your work. Just type a dash, followed by square brackets and your text. Interactive to-do lists: Letterspace uses its own syntax to let you create interactive to-do lists.
