If you into poetry this is the best app on the market that I could find.

My friend just showed me yWriter last night. She loves it! It looks kind of like Scrivener on the screen. She said she's going to keep using yWriter for the time being, since she's already familiar with it, and I'm probably going to keep using Scrivener for the very same reason!

LOVE Swype!

They should be about making our lives easier, shouldn't they? I use mine to simplify things. If it's not helping, it's not the right app.

Android apps have made my life so much easier Lori. I monitor my ad revenue that way. I use the Swype app from Nuance for voice-to-text so I can write more in less time and from anywhere. My Pomodoro tracker app helps me budget my time better. The Wordpress app helps me stay on top of comments on my various sites without having to be at the computer. The Hootsuite app lets me know if there are Twitter mentions or anything that I need to address quickly without me keeping Twitter open while I'm trying to work on other things. I use the Feedly app to stay on top of blog posts. To-do apps are a must for me.

I'd be lost without my apps. And I'm always looking for new or better ones to make my life easier. :)

Lori, I'm getting real tired of apps… but I'll take a look at these.

If it's all you need, Paula, why not? But better upgrade to at least 3G soon. 🙂

The phone on the commercial you're talking about is sophisticated compared to my cell phone! Mine is a pre-apps phone. (But it is a pretty shade of blue.)

It's a pay-as-you-go phone. Cost is $25 every three months. I've never come close to using up my minutes so they kept accumulating. This summer the credit card I pay for it with was replaced, so I had to call in the new number. They guy looked at my account, said they would waive my fees for a year - or until my balance is used up. He also said I'll need to upgrade soon since they plan to phase out 2G service. Yes. 2G. I told you it was pre-apps.

I've heard good things about iA Writer, Chris. Glad to hear from one more satisfied user.

Thanks for the advice on 1Password. I'm fairly new to LastPass, so I've yet to determine if the few issues are app-related or me-related. :)
