8 – Write 2 Lite
This is an app for writing on your phone. It is a good app for creating notes quickly, but there is nothing stopping you from creating entire blog posts on your app. The writing tools within it are quite good and will allow you to change the text in the same manner that desktop writing tools allow you to change the text (e.g. size, font, etc). This app is currently exclusive to the iPhone.
9 – Writer
This is an Android exclusive app that allows you to write on your Android. It sells itself as the writing app that lets you avoid distractions. It stops some of the more distracting (but less urgent) pop ups from appearing and disturbing you, and the app takes up most of the screen when it is on. This means that it is harder to be distracted when writing.
10 – yWriter5
This is apparently a novelist’s tool. It allows you to break up a text into scenes. It is designed as an app that allows you to create chapters and manage a narrative a little easier.
