I recently purchased yKey as a replacement for Quickeys. I have been very happy with the choice. It is 64-bit compatible and does everything I did in Quickeys with simplicity and grace. Highly recommend it for those facing upgrades to Mac Catalina that will require 64 bit compatibility

Write 2 is a great basic word processor, but for me, it falls short because it doesn't seem to be able to save a 2-column landscape format as a template. So every time I open it I have to set it up that way from scratch. Not a huge problem, but a deal-breaker for me.

With tons of markup text processors these days it is nice to see a lightweight and matured »conventional« text app that can read and write several formats (rtd, rtfd, doc, docx, odt, html, etc.). Write 2 incorporates quite the same features as »Bean« but with a US$ 9 price tag. Unfortunately, Write 2 can display MS Word documents with basic formatting but falls short on more sophisticated documents. The same documents are rendered beautifully by Preview, Pages, or LibreOffice. The program´s author has no intention to correct these shortcomings and argues users should not expect such features in a program »sold for the price of a cup of coffee«. Therefore, I cannot recommend Write 2 until the author changes his attitude and the compatibility towards Word documents.

I love the MoApp guy. He ALWAYS does this, doesn't even check if there's another App & then just throws a name on an app. In some cases just rotates an icon and BOOM, $9 app. Am I right? Compare with Write.app from WriteApp.net, which has dark mode, OS X & iOS Apps, and is still at version 1 -- and despite no updates, still works fine.
