App Detail » FioWriter Lite - Productive text editor for iPhone & iPad with command keys and cloud sync

What's New

In three words: iOS 7 ready.

New Features:
- New look & feel for iOS 7
- New text layout engine based on iOS 7 TextKit framework
- Now the layout is much faster, more accurate and more beautiful
- The find & replace, goto line are both improved greatly
- Motion effect for text info (command + i), shortcut fan buttons, and fullscreen button
- Share via AirDrop

Bugs Fixed:
- iCloud file moving/copying, will create invalid file path
- On iPhone, when tap too quickly, the command key's glowing effect will stop draining
- Cmd + o (open), Cmd + p (print) will make text view content size wrong
- Empty folder message auto sizing is wrong in landscape

Polish:
- On iPhone, add disclosure indicator in the right fold menu
- on iPhone, when switch keyboard from character to number/punctuation, refill glowing cmd key: so you won't need to hurry when you trying to type commands like font size changing (cmd + '+'/'-')

Back out:
- TextExpander is disabled temporarily - When SmileSoftware (the TextExpander author) releases a new version with proper snippet sharing mechanism on iOS 7, I'll add it back ASAP.
