Does anyone use this? I downloaded the trial version ages ago, but never got around to using it because I had Word on my Mac and I'm stuck in my ways. Now I don't have Word anymore and I just can't get on with Pages, I'm thinking of using Jer's.

I just wondered if anyone else here uses it. Is it reliable? Do you find it easy to use?

It does look really good but I don't know anyone else who uses it.

I did use it, and I really liked it while using it. It has several great features I haven't found elsewhere, and Jer is very responsive to user feedback and requests (even if he isn't going to do it, he'll respond and explain).

I do have to say that, like many writers, I have migrated to Scrivener, which I think is absolutely the bee's knees and is having a special for November! You can find out about in the special offers forum.

I'm using it this year and I LOVE IT. Especially the feature that lets you add notes right in the margins and move them, delete them, and customize them. You can organize your characters and plot right in the document too, along with whatever other research you find. You can add pictures of what you imagine your characters to look like right in their information box. It's perfect for NaNo, seriously. Can't recommend it highly enough. (:

Uh, yeah. This is about it. It's super awesome. There IS a "nag window" but it's just upon first opening the program. Also, I like the fact that you can tell the word counter to update every X number of seconds. Good motivator to watch the number climb! The Database feature is also SUPER helpful. Personally, I don't use the notes, I find them too visually distracting, but if that's your type, then yeah, they're very easy to use!

I love it.
