Write is a word processor app with which you can write like you would on a paper with a pen using a stylus. It was built by a development team based in the San Francisco Bay area.

It has lines on top of which you can enter smart text while significantly maintaining your handwriting. Its ability to recognize lines of written text offers users an array of features not excluding easily adding handwritten links, combining sketches with texts, bookmarking, and the standard open document format.

You can pinch or spread out two fingers on the screen to access zoom in and zoom out controls respectively. Double-tapping on the screen will default the zoom percentage to 100%.
