There are many text editors and note taking applications for the iPad, but there always seems to be something missing.
•Why cant I number headings? Or lists? What about sorting lists?
•Why cant I paste my text into different cells in a spreadsheet?
•How about a word count?
•Why cant I search and replace?
•I need to know what the differences are between documents. Why can’t I do that?
Im going to have to email the file to my desktop to get that done.
