Comments on IEW Writing Tools Lite for Android

★★★★★ Love the app! This app is extremely helpful for my child and I! Love having everything easy to get to and organized!!!😃

★★★★★ Fabulous App for Students and Teachers This app is meant to be used with the Excellence in Writing curriculum. This is an excellent resource for students using this curriculum. The app is like having the Portable Wall accessible anywhere you have your smartphone or other device. I only wish it had MORE of everything! More -ly words, more quality adjectives, More lists, etc.! Overall, this is a great beginner app and is a fun change from pulling out the Student Resource Book every time. Thanks, IEW, for a great FREE product!

★★★★★ Love it! For all IEW students and teachers, this is an exemplary app for an even greater writing curriculum.

★★☆☆☆ FAIL on tablets WHY should I want to write in PORTRAIT mode only on my Transformer Prime? The software forces this meaning I cannot use the keyboard. Past this I do not care, so it's now in the bin.

★★☆☆☆ Meh I am intrigued by the innovation and potential that this application implies. But the actual content is very base. I could memorize all the information it contains within a single sitting. This application, in its current form, could possibly benefit many beginner writers, but experienced writers will be uninstalling after a few minutes, just like I did. However, I pan on revisiting this app in the distant future, to discover whether its developers have added enough content to make it useful to me.

★★☆☆☆ No landscape? Unfortunately I'll never know if it's fixed. I'm uninstalling. I understand phone users tend to live in portrait...but who wants to write on a phone....
