How can I save my document? I can’t find a save button.

How to discover keyboard shortcuts on iPad?

I get an error message when trying to rename a document.

Files located outside the iWriter Pro’s own folders are impossible to rename from within the editor. This issue happens due to iOS security restrictions. They cannot be lifted via Privacy settings. iWriter Pro has full access to its own folders (local and iCloud). Those folders can be located by application icon.

You can rename files in other locations from within the Document Menu. Tap and hold on a file, then choose Rename.

Does iWriter support RTF?

iWriter doesn’t have RTF support. You can use iWriter Pro for Mac to export your documents as RTF.

Is there a Mac version?

iWriter doesn’t have a Mac version. iWriter Pro has both iOS and Mac versions.
