There is a new version of wwriteLite now available. This is a big update with a number of new features. The biggest three are the support for Rich Text Files, a new re-arrange mode, and the ability to search.
Some other new features include localization support for Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. This includes localization for the ads as well. There are a couple of new settings, one that allows you to show ads, if you have purchased the “Remove Ads” in-app purchase, and the ability to disable searching of files.
There have also been some tweaks including a change to the default file name, an updated file format, a modified “About” screen, and an updated archive file name format.
There have also been a bunch of bugs fixed as well. The entire list of changes is outlined below.
wwriteLite is a free app with in-app purchases, including the “Space Icons” theme and the ability to remove ads.
New Features
- Significant re-write of under the hood items. This should make it easier to add new features in the future.
- File Names now have a new format, they are Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) instead of previously generated file name format. Existing filenames are preserved.
Re-arrange Files Mode
- Added the Ability to re-order files, and have their position remembered. This is done by tapping on the “Edit” button on the File List and then dragging and dropping the cells.
- ‘Re-order mode’ will have a red border around the screen and you will not be able to click on files or add new files.

Spotlight Searching
- Unlocked files will now appear in spotlight search.

Templates
- Templates now support rich text, which is enabled all the time.

If you see an issue with any of the localization, please contact support.
Other Changes
- Expanded list of files types that can be imported. See the entire list in the new “Supported Files” screen in the About screen or in the Support Menu.
