So the app gets five stars and I am positively looking forward to producing clearer writing with Hemingway. I would have taken back a star but Hemingway also understands Markdown which to me is huge. The spelling checker does not seem to know enough words but then I write technical material. The little word balloons that pop up to explain why Hemingway marked the text are a little rough on the eyes and those appearing at the left margin are cut off, a very minor nuisance to be sure. I used AMEX and within the minute my iPhone sent me a message that it has paid the vendor. Purchasing is super easy and the web site asks for minimal information so it takes very little time to get the download. Absolutely no other word processing software I have found has these capabilities. I know that my writing needs help and Hemingway identified confusing long sentences, passive voice, and excessive adverbs. The Hemingway website accurately depicts the desktop software capability and it does not disappoint. Tons of other goodies - The new Hemingway comes packed with other niceties, like the ability to have multiple documents open at once, importing text from HTML and Markdown documents, and fixes for many bugs - including the issue where text and highlights get split up or blurry. Hemingway Editor 3.0.3 was available to download from the developers website when we last checked. The new setting hides everything but your text and our highlights for wordy sentences, adverbs, complex words, and passive voice. Lots of apps have distraction-free writing, but the new Hemingway is the first to have a distraction-free setting for our Edit mode as well.
