Writing-Plus-Researching App Skriv Gains iCloud Integration And Other Notable Features
May 19, 2013
Skriv, the universal iOS writing app whose 2.0 update I posted about just last month, has now received its 2.1 update.
Skriv 2.1 brings a number of new features. But none is arguably more significant than the app's newly added iCloud integration.
With iCloud, Skriv now syncs all of your notes and settings across all of your iDevices.
In particular, if you've added something or made changes to your Skriv Library on any of your devices, just pull down on the library to refresh your data with iCloud.
Skriv's iCloud integration also boasts something called Smart Delete. Highlighted in the video below and found in the app's Settings section, Smart Delete stores any deleted file on any of your devices for future retrieval also on any of your devices.
Another iCloud-enabled feature introduced in Skriv 2.1 is Web Resume. Whereas Safari has iCloud Tabs, Skriv has Web Resume. Simply put, if you have an open webpage in one of your devices, Web Resume automatically opens that webpage on your other device. This feature can be toggled on or off in Settings.

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.1 or later, Skriv 2.1 is available now in the App Store for free. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]
