iA Writer, one of the very best writing apps for iPad and iPhone, has been updated again today – to Version 1.8. Here’s the full change list for this update:

- Enhanced look and feel
- New iCloud engine and UI
- New accessory keyboard*
- Improved text editing
- Improved file browser
- Improved conflict resolution
- Automatic encoding conversion
- Scrolling improvements
- Optimized landscape mode*
*iPad only

I’ve installed the update but haven’t spent enough time with it yet to comment much – except to say the app looks sharper than ever on the iPad. This is one of my most favorite writing apps and one of our selections for The Best iPad Apps of 2012.

Here’s an App Store link for iA Writer; it’s priced at $0.99 and is a universal app designed to run on both iPad and iPhone.
