I’ve just released NastyWriter 3.0, and NiceWriter 2.0 is awaiting review and should be available soon (update: it’s now available!) The main changes are:
- Fixed an issue in iOS 17 and above where suggested text could be inserted without the user selecting it
- Removed ads
- Added new insults and compliments
Fixing the iOS 17+ issue was my main motivation for this release.
I removed the ads because, having moved to a new country, I would need to create a new Google AdMob account (which requires documentation that took me a while to get) and update the code to show ads anyway, and it’s not really worth it.
Ads add so much code to maintain and don’t bring in much revenue — the in-app purchase to remove ads may as well be a simple tip jar. In fact, perhaps it will be in a later version, but I wanted to get the bug fix out quickly rather than spending time testing additional changes.
For now the apps are completely free, but I will soon change the prices to $0.99 (or equivalent), to see how that works out.
