Author for Android

I love this app. Very intuitive and easy to use after putting in a little time to explore and watch the video. My only quibble is that I do a lot of writing on my Mobile when I am out and about. Wish Author worked on iOS.

I have all three of this company's products, Author, Liquid and Reader, and I've watched the developer videos. I can't find a way to get any value out of any of the three. Lots of blank screens to start any task, usually defaulting into one of many "modes"--like, say, map or write, but there are no cues as to how to start, no templates, and overall list of the other modes that are supposed to be accessible, for example bringing in an excerpt from a pdf document and citation. I see positive reviews, but not all that many. This suggests that the very nice and thoughtful developer has a small following, but this product is not at all ready to "cross the chasm" to more mainstream users. By the way I'm not a nube, and if I can't figure this out--and I have tried and tried, I wonder if there are perhaps thousands of people like me who try this and give up. I work in technology research, am a part-time scholar with a doctorate.

The combination of a capable editor, the unique find command, and the Map is a match made in heaven. And the developer responded to a support request in less an hour ON A SUNDAY!

Author is a well-crafted and interesting program! I'm an academic who's been looking for a word processor that can handle shorter pieces. I use Microsoft Word for papers, but I find it a clunky tool for outlining or composing brief essays meant to sharpen my own understanding of a concept. Author has a beatiful interface; easy to use; automatically tracks citations. And its incorporation of Engelbart's thinking makes it immensely promising. Use it in conjunction with Reader! I can't wait to see how both applications develop.

I just used it once then i deleted the app. The pages are neat but inaesthetic. I am really disappointed.
