The Android platform offers lots when it comes to writing applications, and a trip to the Play Store will give you a whole host to choose from. Writer is one such app, but where it looks to carve itself a niche is in its simplicity. While the majority of apps like this off er advanced functionality, Writer focuses on one thing and doing it well -Simplicity.

Upon opening the app you're greeted by a sparse homepage, where selecting the "Welcome to Writer" document brings up a page of welcome text, written so that the formatting options are explained within. When you're ready, return to the homepage and start writing.  The design is the epitome of simplicity as you use your on-screen keyboard to type whatever you like, be it notes, ideas, to-do lists, book, blog post like this or anything else you might be working on. Text formatting is applied using hash tags, asterisks and other characters, allowing you to bold up and italicise words, add quotation marks and order your text into bullet points. While these options are welcome, it's disappointing that the special characters remain within the text once the formatting is applied.

P.S. - This post is written in Writer!
