A fully customizable experience, Winston behaves and sounds like the real deal. You can choose from a variety of typesets, sounds, papers, and backgrounds to suit your style.

Some here say it's useless. Nostalgia perhaps but useless. You can't do any real work on it.
Well, I beg to disagree......
If you are used to writing on a real typewriter. If you merely get disturbed by all the functions you have to learn in Wordprocessors apps.
If all you want is to write your novel.
If you, like so many other creative souls, feel that all the accessories and tweeking possibilities and this and that, are only in the way, and clogs your imagination and creative drive.
If all you want and need is an empty papersheet and keys that will put letters on it when you press them....
Then this is what you are looking for.
A typewriter old school..... but mind you.. with the ability to backerase words and of course, editing and saving the sheets.
I love it. How can you not.

Actually kind of cool. I learned to touch type on a mechanical typewriter ages ago and got a buzz of nostalgia when I fired up this app. No idea if I'll use it much, but its' fun. Could be frustrating to those who've always used a word processor, as you can't reposition the cursor in the text to go back and change something. Might be better on an iPad Pro where you can use the pen to cross words out and write something between the lines of text.
