I feel at home in BBEdit on my Mac, and in Phraseology on my iPad. That Phraseology is the app I turn to when I’m on my iPad and need the words to flow is the highest praise I can offer it.
9/10, Phraseology: The Definitive iPad Language Editor.- AppStorm
The iPad is good for a lot of things: picture viewer, portable media play, the future of journalism. But writing? No so much! That was until Phraseology.
Phraseology breaks the mold and does so in a way that will benefit student writers as well as professional writers.
What’s right about Phraseology is that it’s a surprisingly feature-rich text editor that presents a classy and fluid working environment that should suit a variety of needs.
All in all, this is now my go-to app for writing long-form content on my iPad.
Phraseology is packed useful features, some of which I haven’t seen in an iOS text editor before.
What you do get is the “words nerd’s editor of choice.” Phraseology is all about tweaking and examining your text.
