Been using Hemingway for a while, find it really helpful. New version is out for Mac/Win with new features like formatting, import/export and auto update. Happy 2.0 upgrade is free to those who originally have the app.
I've been using the v1 desktop and found it helpful when trying to write for certain situations. A lot of times, I cannot avoid techie talk etc., but I like to run important documents and blog posts and even critical emails via Hemingway for an opinion.
@adam_b_long could you please elaborate on how v1 users can get their v2 upgrade? thx
@jydesign Hey James, thanks for the praise. We sent an email with update out this morning. It will come from Gumroad and to the email address you used when you purchased. If you're not seeing it, send us an email at 38longllc@gmail.com and I can send you a zip file.
Even as a novelist with an editor, this is a useful product.
Added to my Writing collection, too! www.producthunt.com/@decision_/c...
Cheers, Erik
love hemmingwayapp - I wish they would let me be a co-founder :( - love this product so much.
@johnnyquachy For the low price of 2 million bucks cash, you can be. Thanks for using Hemingway!
Thanks for the free upgrade for v1 users. Been using Heminway for a long time to keep my writing simple and understandble enough. I always tend to write in sentences way too long.
Love the app, although indeed there are still some small bugs in it. Installed the v2 straight away, when copy pasting text from another document in the application it format it strangely and unusable. ( http://cl.ly/image/1A3V123u2241 ). This is probably just a small annoyance, so hopefully be fixed soon. The rest of the app rocks and helps you really to focus on making better readable content!
@jcvangent Hey Hans, can you send us the text you copied that caused that issue (we're at 38longllc@gmail.com)? We'll work on getting that fixed and updated.
@adam_b_long mmm I never saw this reply.. It actually happened with all sorts of different texts.. I wrote them in Evernote before and pasted from there..
Any chance of a PC version in the works?. edit: I see it now, thanks.
I have to say I'm conflicted about this app. After using the web version for about a day, I decided to pay for it instantly because it just brings so much value. I tend to write very long sentences so Hemingway has been great to keep me grounded. I find my blogposts have become a lot more readable and enjoyable thanks to Hemingway.
That said, the desktop app is full of bugs. I'm not exaggerating, it seriously is. Anyone who has used it should be able to back me up on this. I'm talking: way too many bugs to be tolerable for a $10 product. Just right there I started typing randomly on V2 and here's what I get on the very first annotation that popped up: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s...
"Very" should appear once, outlined and not in purple. That's just an example. But I've had these sort of visual bugs happen on V1 A LOT and now it looks like V2 hasn't solved much, which is unfortunate. I get that it's probably a very small team or even a single person working on this. But I would question my ethics selling this for $10 especially when it's so inferior to the web app.
Edit: of course, I'm very willing to help. Be it to file bugs, send tweets with screenshots and whatever is needed to spot out these issues and correct them. You know where to find me.
@thibautdavoult Sorry to hear you ran into a bug. We're happy to fully refund your purchase if you're not satisfied. Send an email to us: 38longllc@gmail.com and let us know what email you used for your purchase.
Over 2 million people have used the app and tens of thousands have tweeted their praise for it, so you'll find we disagree that the app is too "buggy." It also runs the exact same engine as the web version, so you shouldn't see any difference in performance. That said, if you email any issues you find to the address above, we'll jump on fixing them straight away.
@adam_b_long @thibautdavoult Thank you very much for offering the refund. I appreciate the effort you put in developing Hemingway, and replying to my comment so I'll keep using V2 for a few days before fully making up my mind.
Tweeting praise about something and finding bugs isn't mutually exclusive. I actually tweeted my love of Hemingway as well (https://twitter.com/thibautdavou...). I'll be sure to email if anything weird happens again.
@thibautdavoult Thanks Thibaut. We want it to be the best app it can be, so let us know if you see room for improvement!
I love the original Hemingway. Been using it for over a year on any writing related work. Very useful. Looking forward to giving this new version a try!
@adam_b_long If I purchase @hemingwayapp for my work Macbook Pro, will I also be able to use the same purchased license (same iTunes acct) on my personal MacBook Air? If so, I'll buy it.
Should have released this version on July 21st, which is Hemingway's birthday, instead of on the 19th... so close.
I've been using Hemingway for the last couple of months and have used it to make the process of editing my first novel (a huuuge task) a little more manageable. FWIW, I don't recall running into any major bugs during that 65-70k word process. The only thing was that I wished its export options made it a little easier to go back and forth between Ulysses (my writing app of choice) & Hemingway, but it looks like this version might make that easier. I really like it - looking forward to upgrading my copy!
Same sentiment here -- love the functionality and wish it integrated with the editors we use most, particularly email clients (and in my case IA Writer).
I use the webapp occasionally and it works great. I'm curious why you chose to land on the mac purchase page? http://www.hemingwayapp.com/desk... is much more descriptive and includes the PC option.
This + Grammarly = a very cute baby! Great work! I just wish it had a free trial or discount for us!
This is perfect for me. I write content for our company blog and it's a pain moving everything into markdown. Being able to easily export to markdown is a good enough reason alone to buy this. Thanks!
Been using it for about 6 months. Great and super useful tool. Highly highly recommended. Can't wait to try the new version. Need just to find time to write ๐
