Oops! This app has jumped the shark!

What a disappointing turn for iA Writer, especially on iPad.

The merger of writer and writer pro has resulted in an app that doesnt do what its supposed to do well.

The "File..." menu with drop downs is a Microsoft/Engineering convention which flies in the face of the touchable, effortless affordance of a handheld device. Fraught with options which I dont need, my writing experience just got a lot more heavy. The prior version was so simple—open the app, start a new file and start writing. No fonts, no sizing, no need to manage anything.

I long for my classic app and since it has been overridden, I have no hope in going back to it. I know it was intended to be a nice gesture, but it has turned out to be a punishment.

Now we start looking for a new, simple writing app. Sorry, guys.
