I like Writings because it helps write more, with focus. Here’s to hoping a second version of the app will come with automatic saving and a more serious UI in the document switching interface. Also, you’re forced to trigger Dropbox sync manually. I don’t like the fact that it’s got these huge thumbnail previews for notes and the interface is too cartoony. While I don’t think anyone should change Writings’ default UI, I wish I could change the main screen. It also confirms that Apple’s virtual keyboard is pretty sweet.
