Upgrade to WriteRoom 3
The WriteRoom 3 upgrade is free if you ordered WriteRoom 2 after October 2010. If you have an older license, the upgrade is $5. Thanks for your support.

I also knew what it cost, and still appreciate it for doing what it says.

Flip, I don't know how clearer I could have made my review : app in theory good, but too expensive for what it is! Are you an alternate account of the developer or something?
Anyway the price of $9.99 is perfectly reasonable, if I had seen it at the time I would have written a much more positive review. Thanks to Stoneman and sjk for pointing this out, I wish Macupdate staff woul update this page.

You're entitled to think it's overpriced, and I'm entitled to think you're wrong.

But if you want a complete lack of distractions, this is certainly a good app to consider!

Concentrate on your writing only. No layout, just plain text in a full screen arrangement. Choose your own background and text colors to match your thoughts or create a non-distracting digital text pad.

"Theme Text Behavior: When using rich text, changing themes will not change the font or color properties of your text. If you are using a RTF, then themes will ignore font, font size, etc: Changing themes will not change these. For plain text, themes will change these based on theme preset."
Okay, now this is baffling—the open admission of a failing as though it were a feature. Are we to understand that this release actually TAKES AWAY the option to format text (color, etc.) in RTF, and for some reason relegates this control to plain text files only? If so, it would be a decisive reason NOT to upgrade, and IMO users should begin petitioning the developer to immediately correct whatever poor thinking spawned this new "feature."

* when typing in full screen mode, typing a comma followed by a space (", ") yield two commas and a space. Similarly, a space between words yields two spaces between words.
* Some fonts on the Text Editing prefs menu don't immediately show, nor do they work at all once chosen.
* Some keyboard commands don't work as written: Apple + Return does NOT quit out of full screen mode, nor does "Esc" toggle Full Screen mode on/off.
Once these kinds of bugs are ironed out, I'll gladly pay $25 for this app!
In particular the typing problems in full screen mode sound very strange and I'm sure that they are not happening for most people. My guess is there must be some conflic with a third party application that you have installed? Do you have any haxies or typing enhacing programs installed?
